| Year | Previous year dividend | Dividend growth rate | Dividend current year | Horizon value | Total Value | Discount factor | Discounted value |
| 1 | 3.5 | 6.00% | 3.71 | 3.71 | 1.09 | 3.4037 | |
| 2 | 3.71 | 6.00% | 3.9326 | 3.9326 | 1.1881 | 3.30999 | |
| 3 | 3.9326 | 6.00% | 4.168556 | 4.168556 | 1.295029 | 3.21889 | |

| Long term growth rate (given)= | 4.00% | Value of Stock = | Sum of discounted value = | 78.17 |
| Where | |||
| Current dividend =Previous year dividend*(1+growth rate)^corresponding year | |||
| Total value = Dividend + horizon value (only for last year) | |||
| Horizon value = Dividend Current year 4 *(1+long term growth rate)/( Required rate-long term growth rate) | |||
| Discount factor=(1+ Required rate)^corresponding period | |||
| Discounted value=total value/discount factor | |||
