Question on Stock Valuation - PVGO method

Hey,

concerning a stock valuation (applying the PVGO method), I am struggling with a pretty easy question but I am just confused because of the following scenario:

Stock Price = 130$ Current Dividend: 14$

Discount Rate = 13%

Growth Rate = 9% Payout Ratio = 40% ROE = 18%

Actually, the growth rate should be calculated by multiplying a company's ROE with the Retention Rate which leads to (18%*60%) a g = 10,8%.

Which growth rate am I supposed to use for further calculations to calculate whether the stock price is over- or undervalued.

I used the growth rate of 9% to calculate the DIV1 and then, I used the growth rate of 10,8% to calculate the stockprice P = DIV1/ (k-g); k = DIV1/P0 + g

What is your opinion on this exercise. I also considered that there might be a mistake in the question but I haven't received any feedback so far.

Many thanks
