    Dividend in year 7 will be calculated as follows:

    D3 = Do (1+g) n = 1.10 (1+0.08) 3

    D7 = Do (1+g) n (1+g) n = 1.10 (1.08) 3 (1+0.02) 4 = $1.4999

    Explanation:

    In the first instance, we need to calculate dividend in 3 year's time based on current dividend paid at 8% growth rate. Thereafter, we also need to calculate dividend from from year 4 to year 7 (4 years) based on the new growth rate of 2%. The combination of these growth regimes gives the dividend in year 7.
