Gas prices rise following a hurricane because they know many people need to evacuate and they think it's the perfect opportunity to make an extra couple bucks.

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Required rate of return is 14.99%

Explanation:

Given:

Price of stock (Po)= $23.57

Dividend (Do) = $2

Growth rate (g)= 6% or 0.06

Using dividend growth model to calculate required rate of return:

r=\frac{d_{0}\left ( 1+g \right )}{P_{o}}+g

Substituting values in above formula, we get:

r = r=\frac{2\left ( 1.06 \right )}{23.57}+0.06

 = 0.1499 or 14.99%

Therefore, required return of company's stock is 14.99%
