Explanation / Answer

Let the dividend to be paid in the coming year be D.

$94 = D / (1 + 12%) + D * (1 + 25%) / (1 + 12%)2 + D * (1 + 25%)2 / (1 + 12%)3 + D * (1 + 25%)2 * (1 + 15%) / (1 + 12%)4 + D * (1 + 25%)2 * (1 + 15%) * (1 + 6%) / [(1 + 12%)4 * (12% - 6%)]

=> $94 = D * 24.318

=> D = $3.87

Therefore, the dividend to be paid in the coming year would be $3.87 per share.
