Assume Colgate-Palmolive Company has just paid an annual dividend of $0.97. Analysts are predicting an 10.2% per year growth rate in earnings over the next five years.

If Colgate’s equity cost of capital is 8.6% per year and its dividend payout ratio remains constant, for what price does the dividend-discount model predict Colgate stock should sell?
