Tax rate (T) = 40% = 0.4
Dividend per share (
) = $6
Price per share (

Answer: 6.48%
Explanation:
This can be solved using the Quantity theory of money;
MV = PY
When dealing with changes, formula changes to;
% change in Money Supply + %change in velocity = %change in price + %change in real GDP
Velocity has been stable so will be zero.
change in money supply = 3.70% + 2.78%
= 6.48%
