Part 1
What is the expected dividend in four years?
Part 2
What is the terminal value in four years (P4P4)?
Part 3
What is the value of the stock now?
Dividend in 4 years = 3.22(1.08)4 = $4.38
Terminal Value = 4.38(1.02)/(0.11 - 0.02)
Terminal Value = $49.65
Stock Value = 3.22[(1.08)/(1.11)] + 3.22[(1.08)/(1.11)]2 + 3.22[(1.08)/(1.11)]3 + 3.22[(1.08)/(1.11)]4 + 49.65/(1.11)4
Stock Value = $44.75
