NONCONSTANT GROWTH VALUATION
Holt Enterprises recently paid a dividend, D0, of $2.25. It expects to have nonconstant growth of 21% for 2 years followed by a constant rate of 7% thereafter. The firm's required return is 15%.
How far away is the horizon date?
The terminal, or horizon, date is infinity since common stocks do not have a maturity date.
The terminal, or horizon, date is Year 0 since the value of a common stock is the present value of all future expected dividends at time zero.
The terminal, or horizon, date is the date when the growth rate becomes nonconstant. This occurs at time zero.
The terminal, or horizon, date is the date when the growth rate becomes constant. This occurs at the beginning of Year 2.
The terminal, or horizon, date is the date when the growth rate becomes constant. This occurs at the end of Year 2.

Explanation / Answer
The firm is expecting super normal growth (21%) for 2 years and thereafter 7% constant growth. Therefore the horizon period begins at the end of 2 years where the constant growth begins. Hence the correct option is last one.
D0= $2.25
D1= 2.25*1.21= $2.7225
D2= 2.7225*1.21= $3.2942
D3= 3.2942*1.07= $3.5248
Horizon value= D3/Re-g= 3.5248/(0.15-0.07= $44.06
Intrinsic value :
Using BAII Plus calculator:
CF0=0, CF1= 2.7225, CF2= 3.2942, CF3= 47.58 I= 15, NPV CPT
NPV( Intrinsic value)= $36.15
