Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is 4.63%.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Market price = $22.84

Expected dividend = $1.54

Rate of return = 11.37%

So, we can calculate the growth rate by using following formula:

Required return = ( Expected dividend ÷ Current price) + Growth rate

by putting the value we get,

11.37% = ( $1.54 ÷ $22.84) + Growth rate

11.37% = 0.0674 + Growth rate

Growth rate = 11.37% - 6.74%

Growth rate = 4.63%
