Explanation:

Using the dividend discount model, we calculate the price of the stock today. It values the stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. To calculate the price of the stock today, we will use the following formula,

P0 = D1 / (1+r)  +  D2 / (1+r)^2  +  ...  +  Dn / (1+r)^n  +

[(Dn * (1+g)  /  (r - g))  /  (1+r)^n]

Where,

r is the required rate of return

g is the constant growth rate in dividends

n is the number of years

P0 = 0.47 / (1+0.14)  +  0.52 / (1+0.14)^2  + 0.67 / (1+0.14)^3  +  

0.97 / (1+0.14)^4  +  [(0.97 * (1+0.033)  /  (0.14 - 0.033))  /   (1+0.14)^4]

P0 = $7.383535 rounded off to $7.38
