Answer:

c. 11.84%

Explanation:

We start fro mthe dividend gros model formula:

[tex]\frac{divends_1}{return-growth} = Intrinsic \: Value[/tex]

We must notice we need next year dividend to calculatethe value of the stock today so we calculate this first:

D1 = D0 x (1+g) = 0.8 x (1+.08) = 0.864

Now we plug the values into the formula and solve for return:

[tex]\frac{0.864}{return-0.08} = 22.50[/tex]

[tex]\frac{0.864}{22.50} +0.08= return[/tex]

return = 0.1184 = 11.84%
