To find the price of one share in Company TYK, we first need to calculate the present value of future dividends. Since dividends begin in year 7 and grow at a constant rate, we can use the Gordon Growth Model starting at year 7.

1. **Calculate the dividend at year 7**:
\( D_7 = 1 \) (this is given)

2. **Calculate the dividend at year 8**:
\( D_8 = D_7 \times (1 + g) = 1 \times (1 + 0.06) = 1.06 \)

3. **Calculate the present value of dividends from year 7 onwards**:
According to the Gordon Growth Model, the price of the stock at the end of year 6 (just before the dividends start) is given by:
\( P_6 = \frac{D_7}{r - g} \)
where \( r = 0.10 \) (discount rate) and \( g = 0.06 \) (growth rate).

Substituting the values:
\( P_6 = \frac{1}{0.10 - 0.06} = \frac{1}{0.04} = 25.00 \)

4. **Calculate the present value of \( P_6 \)**:
Now we need to discount this price back to the present value (year 0):
\( PV = \frac{P_6}{(1 + r)^6} \)
Substituting the values:
\( PV = \frac{25.00}{(1 + 0.10)^6} = \frac{25.00}{1.771561} \approx 14.09 \)

Therefore, the price you would pay for one share in Company TYK today is:
**14.09**
