Suppose a firm's dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 15% (g1) for 3 years (t) then stabilize at 5% (g2) forever. If the firm just paid a $2.00 (D0) dividend and the discount rate is 10% (r), what is the value of a share of the firm's stock in year 3 (P3 )? (Do not round your intermediate calculation.)

$63.88 D3 = D0 x (1+g1)t = $2 x (1.15)3 = $3.04 D4 = D3 x (1+g2) = $3.04 x 1.05 = $3.19 P3 = D4/(r-g2 ) = $3.19/(.10 - .05) = $63.88
