Required rate= 8.00%          
Year Previous year dividend Dividend growth rate Dividend current year Horizon value Total Value Discount factor Discounted value
1 2.25 12.00% 2.52   2.52 1.08 2.3333
2 2.52 12.00% 2.8224   2.8224 1.1664 2.41975
3 2.8224 12.00% 3.161088   3.161088 1.259712 2.50937
4 3.161088 12.00% 3.54041856 123.915 127.4554186 1.36048896 93.68354
  Long term growth rate (given)= 5.00%     Value of Stock = Sum of discounted value = 100.95
               
Where              
Current dividend =Previous year dividend*(1+growth rate)^corresponding year              
               
Total value = Dividend + horizon value (only for last year)              
Horizon value = Dividend Current year 4 *(1+long term growth rate)/( Required rate-long term growth rate)              
Discount factor=(1+ Required rate)^corresponding period              
Discounted value=total value/discount factor
