FV  = $2.20

FV = $2.15

FV =  $2.29

Explanation:

given data

Annual dividend = $2

rate of interest = 2%

time period = 5

solution

we use here future value formula that is express as

FV = PV ×    .........................1

here  FV is Future value and PV is Present value and r is rate and t is time

put here value and we get

FV = $2 ×

solve it we get

FV  = $2.20

and

when Dividend will start growing next year

so here time period will be time period =  4 years

put value in equation 1 we get

FV = $2 ×

solve it we get

FV = $2.15

and  

when Annual dividends will grow by 5% for 2nd and 3rd year and grow by 2% for 4th and 5th year

future value will  be as

FV = PV  ×    ×      ..............2

put here value and we get

FV = $2  ×     ×    

solve it we get

FV =  $2.29
