HELP g>K

I am doing a stock evaluation project and I am confused what model to use when pricing a stock. my statistical analysis is giving me a RRR higher than the growth of the dividends. so I cannot use DDM because the denominator is (k-g) that will give me a negative price. (the way the market is now i wouldnt be surprised if some stocks are worth about that much)

does anyone know a formula that will give me a correct answer. i was told by my teacher to use two-phase or multi-phase models but the book i have for the class doesnt have that listed and i cant find anything on the internet I was hoping some of you whizzes could help me out.

I really appreciate any help.

I know, but the since the required return is 6.85% and the annual dividend growth is 11.5% I cant use DDM.
he wrote:"Note: DDM and RIM is applicable only if k > g. If for your stock, discount rate k is less than g, carefully follow the class instructions. In such case, you should ideally be using a two-phase (or may be multiple phase) models. However, that will require more work. To keep things simple, I will discuss alternate approaches in class."

I cant find a Two-Phase or Multi-Phase model. Additionally, the notes he has in class give a two-stage DDM but that doesnt work either. I have been working on this all day and i am about to just say F it and switch to marketing major
