Nonconstant Growth Stock Valuation

Assume that the average firm in your company's industry is expected to grow at a constant rate of 4% and that its dividend yield is 7%. Your company is about as risky as the average firm in the industry and just paid a dividend (D₀) of $2.25. You expect that the growth rate of dividends will be 50% during the first year (g_0,1 = 50%) and 20% during the second year (g_1,2 = 20%). After Year 2, dividend growth will be constant at 4%. What is the estimated value per share of your firms stock? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
