Expert Solution

Using dividend discount model we can compute the price today
		i	ii	iii=i+ii	iv	v=iii*iv

1	20%	2.76		2.76	0.925926	2.56
2	20%	3.31		3.31	0.857339	2.84
3	20%	3.97		3.97	0.793832	3.16
4	15%	4.57		4.57	0.73503	3.36
5	15%	5.26		5.26	0.680583	3.58
6	15%	6.04		6.04	0.63017	3.81
7	15%	6.95		6.95	0.58349	4.06
8	15%	7.99		7.99	0.540269	4.32
9	15%	9.19		9.19	0.500249	4.60
10	15%	10.57	370.02	380.59	0.463193	176.29
						208.56

Compuation of terminal value
As per DDM termial value = Dividend expected in 11th year/(required rate - growth rate)
Terminal value on 10th year =	10.57*105%/(8%-5%)
			370.02

Therefore price today =				208.56

Ans =						$ 208.56
