    The answer is: The current share price is $47.96.

    Explanation:

    The current share price is equal to the present value of its expected dividend stream discounting at required return rate of 16%.

    We have the dividend stream as followed:

    Year 1: $22.00; Year 2:$10.00; Year 3: $8.20; Year 4: $2.80; Year 5: $2.80 * 1.05 = $2,94 and will be growing at 5% constantly afterward (as dividend will be growing at 5% per year from Year 4 afterward).

    So, the current share price is equal to:

    22/1.16 + 10/1.16^2 + 8.2/1.16^3 + 2.8/1.16^4 + [Present value as at the end of year 4 of growing perpetuity which is dividend payment after year 4] / 1.16^4 = 33.20 + [ 2.94 / (16% - 5%) ] / 1.16^4 = $47.96.

    So, the current share price is $47.96.
