r = DIV1/Po + g (p. 53).

We know from the problem the value of the following: r= 0.12.  DIV1 =
$2.  g = 0.05.  Solving for Po results in $28.57.  This is the current
share price of the stock.

Po = (DIV10 + P10)/(1+r)^10 (p. 50).  DIV10 = DIV1*1.05^9 = $3.10. 
Solving for P10 results in $85.63.  This will be the share price in 10
years.
