Management has indicated that it plans to pay a $0.60 dividend 3 years from today, then to increase it at a relatively rapid rate for 2 years, and then to increase it at a constant rate of 9% thereafter. The forecast of the future dividend stream, along with the forecasted growth rates, is shown below. With a required return of 12%, what is the current intrinsic value?
