D3 = $4.86

D4 = $5.01

D5 = $5.16

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

DO = $3.75

Dividend expected to grow = 9%

Dividend grow later = 4%

D1 = DO(1+ Dividend1) = $3.75(1+9%)  

=$3.75(1.09)

=$4.085

D2 = DO(1+ Dividend1 )( 1 + Dividend2)

= $3.75(1+9%)(1+9%)

= $4.46

D3 = DO(1+Dividend1)(1+Dividend2)(1+Dividend3)

= $3.75(1+9%)(1+9%)(1+9%)

= $4.86

D4 = DO(1+Dividend1)(1+Dividend2)(1+Dividend3)(1+Dividend later)

= $3.75(1+9%)(1+9%)(1+9%)(1+3%)

= $5.01

D5 = DO(1+Dividend1)(1+Dividend2)(1+Dividend3)(1+Dividend later)(1+Dividend later)

= $3.75(1+9%)(1+9%)(1+9%)(1+3%)(1+3%)

= $5.16

cognitive overload: having a lot on your mind impairs decision-making and tends to result in the simplest, but not necessarily best, option being selected.

empathy gaps: overlooking how you might feel in a different situation can result in unnecessary purchases, such as overbuying when shopping for food on an empty stomach.

optimism and overconfidence: wearing rose-tinted glasses and having unrealistic expectations about the future can affect money management and leave you unprepared for a change in circumstance.

instant gratification: seeking instant gratification drives impulsive spending and can undermine long-term planning and savings.

harmful habits: automatic or mindless behaviour can amplify a poor financial decision as it becomes a recurring event.

social norms: we are heavily influenced by the actions of others; while this can be in certain circumstances, it also contributes to the pressure to keep up with the joneses through conspicuous consumption.
