Microtech Corporation is expanding rapidly and currently needs to retain all of its earnings, hence it does not pay dividends. However, investors expects Microtech to begin paying dividends, beginning with a dividend of $1.00 coming 3 years from Today. The dividend should grow rapidly-at a rate of 50 percent per year-during Years 4 and 5, but after Year 5 growth should be constant 8 percent per year. If the required return on Microtech is 15 percent, what is the value of  the stock today?
