Answer:
expected year-end dividend is 2.44
Explanation:
given data
rate of return = 10.25% = 0.1025
sells price = $57.50 per share
constant rate = 6.00% per year = 0.06
to find out
What is the expected year-end dividend, D1
solution
we will apply here sells price formula that is express as
sells price = Dividend in 1 year ÷ ( cost of equity - growth rate ) ................1
put here value we get
57.5 = [tex]\frac{D1}{0.1025 - 0.06}[/tex]
solve it we get
D1 = 2.44
so expected year-end dividend is 2.44
