6-If you purchase Large Oil, Inc. for $36 and the firm pays a $3.00 annual dividend which you expect to grow at 7.5 percent, what is the implied annual rate of return on your investment? please provide formula and answer
Given:
Stock price = $36
Dividend = $3
Growth rate = 7.5% or 0.075
Rate of Return = Dividend * (1 + growth rate)/ stock price + Growth rate
= $3 * (1 + 0.075) /36 + 0.075
= 3.225 / 36 + 0.075
= 0.08958 + 0.075
= 0.16458 or 16.458%
