Explanation / Answer

Recent Dividend Payment = $1.1

As per the given details in the problem

Value of stock = D1/1.14 + D2/1.14^2 +  D3/1.14^3 +  D4/1.14^4 +  D5/1.14^5 +  D6/1.14^6 + P6/1.14^6

P6 = Price of stock in year 6 = D7/.14-.06 = D6*1.06/.08 = 1.1*1.19^6*1.06/.08

= $41.39

so, Value of stock = 1.1*1.19/1.14 + 1.1*1.19^2/1.14^2 +  1.1*1.19^3/1.14^3 +  1.1*1.19^4/1.14^4 + 1.1*1.19^5/1.14^5 +  1.1*1.19^6/1.14^6 + 41.39/1.14^6

so, Value of stock =1.1482+1.1986+1.2511+1.3060+1.3633+1.4231+18.85

=$ 26.54
