    The price of the stock six years from now will be $56.94

    Explanation:

    To calculate the price of a stock that pays a dividend which grows at a constant rate forever, we use the constant growth model of DDM. The current price of stock using the constant growth model is calculated as follows,

    P0 = D1 / r - g

    As, we don't know the D1, that is dividend expected for the next year, we will calculate it first,

    45 = D1 / (0.12 - 0.04)

    45 * (0.12-0.04) = D1

    45 * (0.08) = D1

    3.6 = D1

    We use the D1 to calculate the price today. Thus, we will use D7 to calculate the price six years from now.

    D7 = D1 * (1+g) ^6

    P6 = 3.6 * (1+0.04) ^6 / (0.12 - 0.04)

    P6 = $56.939 rounded off to $56.94
