Working notes for the above answer

We have provided with the information as follow

D0 = 1
D1 = 1.00 x 1.18 = 1.18

D2 = 1.20 x 1.18 = 1.39

D3 = 1.44 x 1.04 = 1.45

V3 = 1.45/.075-.04

= 41.43

Price at t=0 is the sum of the discounted cash flows...
P0 = 1.18 / 1.075 + 1.39 / 1.095^2 + 41.43 / 1.095^2
(notice that the Price, known IN year 2 based on D3, is discounted 2 years - don't make the mistake of discounting it 3 years)
...in year 2 you get the year 2 dividend + the price in year 2...
= 1.18 / 1.075 + (1.39 + 41.43) / 1.075^2
= 1.0976 + 1.2049+35.84
= $38.15

current (annual) dividend $1 expected to grow for two years 18% thereafter Growth rate 4% required return 7.50%
