Explanation / Answer

Cost of Equity as per CAPM( Ke )= Risk free rate + Beta * Risk premium = 4.6% + 0.9 * 5.5% = 9.55%
Growth =g
Price of Share = D1/(Ke - g)
25 = 2.25 /(9.55% - g)
g = 9.55% - 2.25/25 = 0.55%

Best of Luck. God Bless

Price of Share at year 3 = D1 * ( 1+g)3/(r -g)  = 2.28733/(9.55%-0.55%) = $25.41
