Answer 1

Answer:

Required Return = 10.60%

Explanation:

If there is no dividend and stock price in a question, then we have to calculate it from the required return's point of view.

The required return of a stock is the combination of two parts - dividend yield and a capital gain of dividend yield.

Therefore, the formula is,

The required return of the stock = Capital gains yield + dividend yield

Here, the dividends growth rate is the capital gains yield, therefore,

Required return of the stock = 6.05% + 4.55%

The required return of the stock = 10.60%
