Answer:
Q1) a. 6.60%
Q2) c. retaining a higher percentage of earning will result in a higher growth rate.
Explanation:
Q1.)
Use dividend discount model (DDM) to solve for the growth rate;
g = r- (D1/P0)
whereby;
g = dividend growth rate
r = required rate of return = 11.40% or 0.1140 as a decimal
D1 = next year's dividend = $1.14
P0 = Current stock price = $23.75
g = 0.1140 - (1.14/23.75)
g = 0.1140 - 0.048
g = 0.066 or 6.6%
Therefore, the growth rate is 6.60%, making choice A correct.
Q2.)
c. Retained earning is the proportion of total net profit that a company reinvests back into the business for the purpose of investing in other potentially profitable projects.The returns from these projects would increase the value of the company at a faster rate if a higher percentage e.g 90% is retained. On the other hand, if the company pays a larger portion of its retained earnings e.g 70% as dividends, it will experience a slower growth rate making choice C correct.
