Answer:  5.15%

Explanation:

The Constant Dividend Growth Model is used to calculate the price of a stock given the next dividend that will be paid on it, its required return and its constant growth rate by the formula;

Price = [tex]\frac{Next Dividend}{Rate of Return - Growth rate}[/tex]

$92.51 = [tex]\frac{4.32}{0.0982 - growth rate}[/tex]

9.084482‬ - 92.51g = 4.32

9.084482‬ - 4.32 = 92.51g

92.51g = 4.764482‬

g = 0.0515

g = 5.15%
