The current Dividend (D0) = $3.95

Growth in dividend = $3.95*(1+0.05) = $4.1475

D1 = $4.1475/(1+0.14) = $3.64

D2 = $4.1475*1.05/(1+0.14)^2 = $3.64

D3 = {$3.95*(1+0.05)^3}/(1+0.14)^3 = $3.35

D4 = {$3.95*(1+0.05)^4}/(1+0.12)^4 = $3.09

D5 = {$3.95*(1+0.05)^5}/(1+0.12)^5 = $3.05

D6 = {$3.95*(1+0.05)^6}/(1+0.12)^6 = $2.86

D7 = {$3.95*(1+0.05)^7} = $5.56

P6 = $5.56/(0.1 - 0.05) = $111.1609
