Value of stock = present value of dividends upto 7 years + present value of terminal value at end of 7 years from now

The dividends upto 7 years, and their present values @ 10% discount rate are as below :

present value of dividends upto 7 years = $12.05

Terminal value at end of 7 years = year 8 dividend / (required return - constant growth rate)

Terminal value at end of 7 years = ($3.17 + 6%) / (10% - 6%)

Terminal value at end of 7 years = $84.10

preset value of terminal value = $84.10 / (1 + 10%)7 = $43.16

value of stock = $12.05 + $43.16 = $55.21
