    Price per share = $10.99

    Explanation:

    The dividednd are growing at 7% per annum for 2 year so we will use the DCF approach to calculate price of the share today. We will also calculate the terminal value after 2 years when growth becomes constant and discount it back to today to calculate the price today.

    The formula for DCF approach and calculations are below:

    P0 = D0 * (1+g) / 1+r + ... + [D0 (1+g) ^n / r-g] / (1+r) ^n

    P0 = 0.6 * (1+0.07) / 1 + 0.1 + 0.6 * (1+0.07) ² / (1+.01) ² + [ (0.6 * (1+0.07) ² * (1+0.04) / 0.1-0.04] / (1+0.1) ²

    P0 = $10.9918 or 10.99
