Computech Corporation is expanding rapidly and currently needs to retain all of its earnings; hence, it does not pay dividends. However, investors expect Computech to begin paying dividends, beginning with a dividend of $2.00 coming 3 years from today. The dividend should grow rapidlyat a rate of 50% per yearduring Years 4 and 5, but after Year 5, growth should be a constant 4% per year. If the required return on Computech is 18%, what is the value of the stock today? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
