Phoenix Industries has pulled off a miraculous recovery. Four years ago it was near bankruptcy. Today, it announced a $1 per share dividend to be paid a year from now, the first dividend since the crisis. Analysts expect dividends to increase by $1 a year for another 2 years. After the third year (in which dividends are $3 per share) dividend growth is expected to settle down to a more moderate long-term growth rate of 8%. If the firm's investors expect to earn a return of 16% on this stock, what must be its price? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Web Cites Research projects a rate of return of 20% on new projects. Management plans to plow back 30% of all earnings into the firm. Earnings this year will be $6 per share, and investors expect a rate of return of 12% on stocks facing the same risks as Web Cites.
