D3 = $0.75

D4 = 0.75 x 1.49 = $1.1175

D5 = 1.1175 x 1.49 = $1.665075

D6 = $1.665075 x 1.10 = $1.8315825

At a growth rate of 10 percent

[tex]\frac{D6}{R-G}[/tex]

1.8315825/0.18-0.10

= $[tex]\frac{0.75}{1.18^3} +\frac{1.1175}{1.18^4} +\frac{1.665075}{1.18^5} +\frac{22.89478125}{1.18^5} \\[/tex]

= 0.456473 + 0.576394 + 0.7278196 + 10.0075198

= $11.77

The value of this stock today is  $11.77
