    The correct answer for 1st year is $1.12, 2nd year is $1.25, 3rd year is $1.40, 4th year is $1.48 and 5th year is $1.55.

    Explanation:

    According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

    Dividend for beginning = $1.00

    Growth rate for 3 year = 12%

    For 4th and 5th year = 5%

    So, we can calculate the dividend per share for each year by using following formula:

    Dividend = Beginning dividend * (1 + Growth percentage)

    So, by putting the value we get,

    Dividend for 1st year = $1 * (1+12%)

    = $1 * 1.12

    = $1.12

    Dividend for 2nd year = $1.12 * (1+12%)

    = $1.12 * 1.12

    = $1.25

    Dividend for 3rd year = $1.25 * (1+12%)

    = $1.25 * 1.12

    = $1.40

    Dividend for 4th year = $1.40 * (1+5%)

    = $1.40 * 1.05

    = $1.48

    Dividend for 5th year = $1.48 * (1+5%)

    = $1.48 * 1.05

    = $1.55
