    Po = D1/1+ke + D2 / (1+ke) 2 + D3+P3 / (1+ke) 3

    Po = 4/1+0.09 + 4 / (1+0.09) 2 + 4+35 / (1+0.09) 3

    Po = 4/1.09 + 4 / (1.09) 2 + 39 / (1+0.09) 3

    Po = 3.6697 + 3.6667 + 30.1158

    Po = $37.45

    Explanation:

    The fair price is a function of future dividends capitalised at the appropriate cost of equity of the firm. Moreso, the market price of year 3 is added to the dividend in year 3 before discounting.
