Answer:

 

       
D1 2*125% 2.5  
D2 = 2.5*125% 3.125  
D3= 3.125*109% 3.41  
       
       
Price = Di/(1+Ke)^1+D2/(1+Ke)^2+D3/(1+Ke)^2(Ke-g)
       
  2.5/(1.13)+3.125/(1.13)^2+3.41/(1.13)^2(.13.09)
       
  2.5*.885+3.125*.783+3.41*.783*25  
  2.21+2.45+66.76    
       
  $71.43    
       
The Price of the Share is $ 71.43
