We are asked to find the current value of a share which returns a dividend with constant growth, therefore, we will use the formula

\n

$\\displaystyle P_0=\\frac{D_0(1+g)}{r_s-g}$

\n

In our situation, we have, 

\n

$D_0=\\var{D}$, 

\n

$g=\\var{g}\\%=\\var{gdec}$,

\n

$r_s=\\var{rr}\\%=\\var{rrdec}$,

\n

and therefore we have

\n

$\\displaystyle P_0=\\frac{\\var{D}(1+\\var{gdec})}{\\var{rrdec}-\\var{gdec}}$

\n

which upon calculation gives 

\n

$\\begin{align}P_0&=\\$\\var{Prounded}\\quad \\text{(to the nearest cent)}\\end{align}$

\n

\n

Note: We could have written this formula as $\\displaystyle P_0=\\frac{D_1}{r_s-g}$ where $D_1=D_0(1+g)$ is the first dividend in the future.
