She expects Goodwin to pay a $5.25000 dividend at that time (Ds = $5.25000) and believes that the dividend will grow by 27 30000% for the following two years Da and Ds). However, after the fifth year, she expects Goodwins dividend to grow at a constant rate of 4.32000% per year.

Goodwin's required return is 14.40000%. Fill in the following chart to determine Goodwin's horizon value at the horizon date (when constant growth begins) and the current intrinsic value.
