Human Systems, a pharmaceutical company, is expected to experience a high rate of earnings and dividend growth in the next 5 years as a result of having developed a cold remedy that reduces the effects of the common cold to an average of 2 days.

The rate of growth in each year thereafter is expected to be 5%, and the last dividend Human Systems paid was $4.00. Stockholders' required rate of return is 8%. Using the Discounted Dividend Model, what is the intrinsic value today of Humans Systems' stock given the expected growth in dividends?
