Simpkins Corporation does not pay any dividends because it is expanding rapidly and needs to retain all of its earnings.

The dividend should grow rapidly - at a rate of 50% per year - during Years 4 and 5. After Year 5, the company should grow at a constant rate of 6% per year. If the required return on the stock is 16%, what is the value of the stock today (assume the market is in equilibrium with the required return equal to the expected return)?
