Unfortunately, you are unhappy with the high volatility of the dividends growth rate, and you decided to fix the growth rate (make it constant). Accordingly, you decided that the dividends must have a fixed growth rate that is equal to the average six years growth rates, since you believe that fixing the growth rate will ease the valuation process of the companys shares.

Based on the given information and if the required rate of return (r) is equal to 7%, Answer the following questions: -What is the growth that your company will use starting in the year 2021?

-What will be the intrinsic value per share after your decision (1/1/2021)?
