Cash flow time line:
Alternative solution: Because the $3.50 dividend actually represents the first constant-growth dividend
(the starting basis for constant growth), the constant growth model can be used to compute the value of
the stock at the end of Year 3 as follows:

Thus, if the stock is sold in three years, the investor would have received three dividend payments equal
to $0.60, $0.90, and $2.40, respectively, and the $21.875 stock price at the end of Year 3. The PV of this
