Long term growth rate (given)= 6.00% Value of Stock = Sum of discounted value = 90.58
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 8 *(1+long term growth rate)/( Required rate-long term growth rate)
Discount factor=(1+ Required rate)^corresponding period
Discounted value=total value/discount factor
