Answer:
Requirement A. $12 per share
Requirement B. $44.14 per share
Explanation:
Requirement A. 
The next dividend can be calculated using the following equation:
Next Dividend = D0 * (1 + g)
Here
D0 is the current dividend which is $10 and g is the Growth Rate which is 20% for the first three years
By putting values, we have:
Next Dividend = $10 * (1 + 20%)
= $12 per share
Requirement B.
Year  Dividend  Growth Rate  New Dividend
1               10                      20%           12
2               12                      20%                 14.40
3                 14.4                     20%         17.28
4            17.28                    2%                   17.63
Stock Price = $17.63 * (1 + 2%) / (21% - 2%) = $94.62
The above stock price calculated is the value of stock at the end of year 4. To discount it back to year zero, we will discount it by 21%.
Stock price at year0 = $94.62 / (1 + 21%)^4 = $44.14 per share
