i ii iii iv=i+iii v vi=iv*v
year Dividend Terminal value Cash flow PVIF @ 12% present value
1 2.12 2*106%          2.12 0.892857          1.89
2 2.2472 2.12*106%                 25.72       27.97 0.797194       22.29
      30.09       24.19
therefore price today =                 24.19
Computation of terminal value = =dividend in year 3/(required rate - growth rate)
=2.2472*103%/(12%-3%)
                25.72
