    Explanation:

    The Dividend Valuation Model (DVM) is a technique used to value the worth of an asset. According to this model, the value of an asset is the sum of the present values of the future cash flows would that arise from the asset discounted at the required rate of return.

    This model would be applied as follows:

    PV of dividend from Year 1 to Year 4

    (13 * 1.12^-1) + (9 * 1.12^-2) + (8 * 1.12^-3) + (3.50 * 1.12^-3) = 26.38

    PV of dividend from year 5 and beyond

    This will be done in two steps

    PV in year 4 terms

    PV = D * (1+g) / ke - g

    D - 3.50, g - 5%, ke - 12%

    PV = 3.50 * 1.05 / (0.12 - 0.05)

    PV = 52.5

    PV in year 0 terms

    52.5 * 1.12^ (-4) = 33.36469912

    Total PV = 26.38 + 33.36 = 59.747

    Price of share $ 59.747
