Calculate the expected rate of return for a stock selling for $50 that just recently paid a $6 dividend and is expected to increase the dividend each year at a growth rate of 3%. Use at least 3 decimals in your answer.
Expected dividend = $6*1.03 =6.18
Expected rate of return = (Expected Dividend / Stock Price ) + Growth rate | |
= (6.18 / 50) + 0.03 | |
= 0.1236+0.03 | |
=15.36 % | |
