Calculate current market value of share? Please show working I can’t understand how to deal with it

The only ‘trick’ is the Do (1 + g) in the formula is actually the dividend in 1 years time. Usually it is the current dividend plus the growth, but in this question it is actually 23c in 1 years time.
