D6 = $4.885/4.89

Explanation:

Given D0 = $2.12

Three stage growth = 20% for two years, 14% for three years, 8% indefinitely

Calculate D6

First stage 20%

D1 = D0*g = 2.12*1.20 = $2.544

D2 = D1*g=2.544*1.20 = $3.053

Second stage 14%

D3 = D2 * g = 3.053*1.14 = $3.480

D4 = D3*1.14 = 3.480*1.14 = $3.968

D5 = D4*g = 3.968*1.14 = $4.523

Stable growth stage

D6 = D5*g = 4.523*1.08 = $4.885
