Management's forecast of the future dividend stream, along with the forecasted growth rates, is shown below. Assuming a required return of 11.00%, what is your estimate of the stock's current value? $$\begin{array} { l r r r r r r r } \text { Year } & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 \\\hline \text { Growth rate } & \text { NA } & \text { NA } & \text { NA } & \text { NA } & 50.00 \% & 25.00 \% & 8.00 \% \\\text { Dividends } & \$ 0.000 & \$ 0.000 & \$ 0.000 & \$ 0.250 & \$ 0.375 & \$ 0.469 & \$ 0.506\end{array}$$
