How do I do this one? I'm assuming it's not as simple as "the initial value is just $50 since thats what the stock sells at"

You basically buy the stock without the intervening dividends 6 months from now. Subtract from the current value of 50 the present values of the dividends, to get the 'naked' current value, then compute the future value of that 5 months from now. The other possible gotcha is the way you transform the risk free rate - but for a problem it's probably just given in the exponential form.
