PV of dividends during rapid growth period:
PV of Dividends = 2.35 x (1+22%)^1/(1+15%)^1 + 2.35 x (1+22%)^2/(1+15%)^2 + 2.35 x (1+22%)^3/(1+15%)^3 + 2.35 x (1+22%)^4/(1+15%)^4 + 2.35 x (1+22%)^5/(1+15%)^5
PV of Dividends = 14.07794
PV of Dividends = $14.08
b.
Price of share at end of 5th year = 2.35 x (1+22%)^5 x (1+6%) / (15%-6%)
