The computation of the current stock price is shown below:

Particulars   Dividend or amount   PVIF at 22%       Present value

D1                  $4.05                        0.820       $3.32          

($3.40 × 1.19)

D2                 $4.81                         0.672         $3.23

($4.05 × 1.19)
