In the third year, management has forecasted a dividend payment of $1.10. Dividends will grow with the company thereafter. Calculate the value of the company's stock at the end of its rapid growth period (i.e., at the end of five years). The required rate of return for such stocks is 17 percent. What is the current value of this stock?
