Answer:
$9.00
Explanation:
Note: See the attached file for the calculation of PV of year 1 to 7 dividends.
Price at year 7 = year 8 dividend / (Rate of return - Perpetual growth rate) = (0.5747245056 * 1.05) / (10% - 5%) = $12.0692146176
PV of price at year 7 = $12.0692146176 / (1.10)^7 = $6.19341546169015
Current price = Sum of PV of years 1 to 7 dividends + PV of price at year 7 = $2.81096656749202 + $6.19341546169015 = $9.00
