What will be the current market price? Assume the firm has a 12% expected return?

Expected Return (Ke) = 12%
DPS0 = $6
DPS1 = DPS0 (1+Growth Rate)
DPS1 = $6 (1 + 0.20)
DPS1 = $7.20
DPS2 = DPS1 (1+Growth Rate)
DPS2 = $7.20 (1 + 0.10)
DPS2 = $7.92
DPS3 = DPS2 (1+Growth Rate)
DPS3 = $7.92 (1 + 0.06)
DPS3 = $8.395
DPS4 = DPS3 (1+Growth Rate)
