Please see the attached file:

Note: Required return = Dividend yield + Capital gains yield
Capital gains yield= Expected dividend growth rate (for constant growth model)

Expected Dividend (D1)= $1.20 (Given)

Current stock Price (P0)= $30.00 (see calculations below)

Required return (rs) = 11% (Given)

Expected Dividend growth rate (g)= 7% (Given)

Dividend yield (Dy) = 4% = 11%-7% ; required return = dividend yield + capital gains yield; therefore, dividend yield = required return - capital gains yield

Capital gains yield= 7% Capital gains yield= Expected dividend growth rate (for constant growth model)

Using the Dividend Discount (Constant Growth) Model
Po= D1/ (rs-g)

Dividend for next year= D1 = $1.20
