Answer : $15.95
Calculation :
P0 = D1 / (1+ke)1 + D2 / ( 1+ke)2 + D3 / ( 1+ke)3 + D4 / ( 1+ke)4 + P4 / ( 1+ke)4
Where,
Ke = required rate of return
D1 =1.06
D2 = 1.06 * 1.03 = 1.0918
D3 = 1.0918 * 1.03 = 1.124554
D4 = 1.124554 * 1.03 = 1.15829062
P4 = D5 / ke - g
P4 = 1.15829062 * 1.01 / 0.08 - 0.01
P4 = 1.1698735262 / 0.07
P4 = 16.71247894571
P0 = 1.06 / 1.08 + 1.0918 / 1.082 + 1.124554 / 1.083 + 1.15829062 / 1.084 + 16.71247894571 / 1.084
P0 = 0.981481481481 + 0.936042524005 + 0.892707221968 + 0.851378183914 + 12.28417093932
P0 = 15.94578035069 or $15.95
