    The intrinsic value per share today is $50.16

    Explanation:

    The two stage growth model of DDM is used to calculate the price of a stock whose dividends are growing by two different rates and the second rate is the one where the dividend growth becomes constant. The formula for price today under this model is,

    P0 = D0 * (1+g1) / (1+r) + D0 * (1+g1) ² / (1+r) ² +

    [ (D0 * (1+g1) ² * (1+g2) / (r - g2)) / (1+r) ² ]

    Where,

    g1 is the growth rate in the first period i. e. 5% g2 is the growth rate that is sustainable growth rate i. e. 10% D0 is the dividend today

    P0 = 1 * (1+0.05) / (1+0.12) + 1 * (1+0.05) ² / (1+0.12) ² +

    [ (1 * (1+0.05) ² * (1+0.1) / (0.12 - 0.1)) / (1+0.12) ² ]

    P0 = $50.156 rounded off to $50.16
