Answer: 6.42%
Explanation:
To calculate this, we use the formula for the Dividend Discount Model/ Gordon Growth Formula as follows:
P = D1/(r - g)
Where,
P = current stock price
D1 = Next dividend
r = required return
g = growth rate
We can make r the subject of the equation by,
P = D1/(r - g)
P(r - g) = D1
r - g = D1/P
r = D1/P + g
Calculating therefore we have,
r = 2.65/43.15 + 0.045
= 0.06417728852
= 6.42%
6.42% is the required return.
