An issue of common stock is selling for $57.20. The year end dividend is expected to be $2.95 assuming a constant growth rate of 7%. What is the required rate of return? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
Price of the company=dividend payable at the end of the year/(required rate of return-growth rate)
57.20= 2.95/(RR/100-.07)
.572 RR= 2.95+4.004
Required rate of return= 12.1573%
