          The dividends each year are:

          D1 = 1.70 * 1.045 = 1.7765

          D2 = 1.70 * 1.045^2 = 1.8564

          D3 = 1.70 * 1.045^2 * 1.016 = 1.8861

           

          The terminal value at t = 2 is:

          V2 = 1.8861 / (0.085 – 0.016) = 27.3354

           

          The intrinsic value of the stock at t = 0 is:

          V0 = 1.7765 / 1.085 + 1.8564 / 1.085^2 + 27.3354 / 1.085^2 =
          26.43
