Perpetual annual dividend question

Can someone please help me with problem, I can't solve this for the life of me.

Colgate-palmolive company has just paid an annual dividend of $1.06. Analyst are predicting an 10.6% per yer growth rate in earnings over the next five years. After that Colgates earnings are expected to grow at the current industry average of 6.3% per year. If Colgate's equity cost of capital is 8.5% per year and its dividend payout ratio remains constant what price does the dividend-discount model predict Colgate's stock should sell?
