Explanation:

The Dividend Valuation Model is a technique used to value the worth of an asset. According to this model, the worth of an asset is the sum of the present values of its future cash flows discounted at the required rate of return.

The model is given as

P = D * g / (r-g)

P - stock value, g - growth rate, r-m required rate of return

PV of dividend in year 30 = 12 / (0.15 - 0.06) = 133.3333333

PV of dividend in year in year 0 = 133.3333333 * 1.15^ (-30) = 2.01
