Answer:
The answer is <u>"a. 8.13%".</u>
Explanation:
Given that;
d0 = $1.75
p0 = $40.00
g = 3.6% = 0.036
By using the formula;
Price of the stock = (Dividend this year)(1+g) ÷ (r - g)
By putting the values;
40 = (1.75)(1+0.036) ÷ (r - 0.036)
r - 0.036 = (1.75)(1.036) ÷ 40
r - 0.036 = 1.813 ÷ 40
r - 0.036 = 0.045325
r = 0.045325 + 0.036
r = 0.081325 = 0.081325 x 100
<u>r = 8.13%</u>
