Answer:

C. $120.33

Explanation:

Divā‚€ = 2

Divā‚ = 2.16

Divā‚‚ = 2.333

Divā‚ƒ = 2.519

Divā‚„ = 2.721

Divā‚… = 2.939

Divā‚† = 3.09

we must first find the terminal value for year 5 (when growth rate stabilize)

Pā‚… = 3.09 / (7% - 5%) = $154.28

now we must discount all the future dividends + terminal value:

Pā‚€ = 2.16/1.07 + 2.333/1.07Ā² + 2.519/1.07Ā³ + 2.721/1.07ā“ + 2.939/1.07āµ + 154.28/1.07āµ = 2.02 + 2.04 + 2.06 + 2.08 + 2.10 + 110 = $120.30 ā‰ˆ $120.33 (assuming a slight rounding error)
