This morning you purchased a stock that just paid an annual dividend of $1.70 per share. You require a return of 9.5 percent and the dividend will increase at an annual growth rate of 2.6 percent. If you sell this stock in three years, what will your capital gain be?

D0 = $1.70
D1 = D0 * (1 + g) = $1.70 * (1.026) = $1.7442
D2 = D1 * (1 + g) = $1.7442 * (1.026) = $1.78955
D3 = D2 * (1 + g) = $1.78955 * (1.026) = $1.836
P0 = D1 / (Ke - g)
P0 = $1.7442 / (0.095 - 0.026) = $25.28
P1 = P0 * (1 + Ke) - D1
P1 = $25.28 * (1.095) - $1.7442 = $25.94
P2 = P1 * (1 + Ke) - D2
P2 = $25.94 * (1.095) - $1.78955 = $26.61
P3 = P2 * (1 + Ke) - D3
P3 = $26.61 * (1.095) - $1.836
P3 = $27.30
Capital gain if stock is sold after 3 years = P3 - P0
= $27.30 - $25.28
= $2.02
So, capital gain in dollars = $2.02
