Answer:

The required rate of return for the company is 13.8%

Explanation:

Dividend yield: return of the stock considering his market value:

dividend / Price = dividends yield = 7.7% = 0.078

grow = 6% = 0.06

We use the gordon model to solve for required return:

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

[tex]\frac{divends}{Intrinsic \: Value} = return - 0.06[/tex]

[tex] 0.078 + 0.06 = return[/tex]

return = 0.138 = 13.8%
