Hi professor, this is the formula in the formulae, when computing p0 we use div0 , but in the review quiz, when computing p1 we use div2, shouldn´t it be div1.

It depends on the convention. (I see it is confusing). You need to include the dividends between t and t+1. If you price just after the ex-dividend date, then it refers to the dividends that year; otherwise, the next year.

For instance, if I want to price a company that pays dividends on December 30, and I want to price it on January 1st, then the dividends correspond to the same year I am right now. If I want to price it on December 31, then it is obviously the one for next year.
