1) $7.63

Explanation:

we must can determine the price of the stock by calculating the present value of the cash flows (dividends):

present value = $0.62/1.16 + $0.80/1.16² + $1.05/1.16³ + [ ($1.05 x 1.04) / (16% - 4%) ] = $0.53 + $0.59 + $0.67 + $9.10/1.16³ = $0.53 + $0.59 + $0.67 + $5.83 = $7.63
