Consider a Share of Stock That Pays a Dividend of $1

question 4

Essay

Consider a share of stock that pays a dividend of $1 at the end of one year, $2 at the end of two
years, and then dividends grow at a constant rate of 5% per year thereafter. If the required return is
10%, we can value this share of stock by finding P₂ using D₃, then find P₀ = D₁/(1.1) + D₂/(1.1)² +
P₂/(1.1)¹. In this formula, it appears as though we ignore all dividends from year three on. Why is this
so?
