Answer:
$2.28
Explanation:
G's flower pay an annual dividend that increase by 1.8%
= 1.8/100
= 0.018
The market rate of return is 13.8%.
= 13.8/100
= 0.138
The price is $19.08 per share
Therefore the expected amount of the next dividend can be calculated as follows
= 19.08= D1/(0.138-0.018)
19.08= D1/0.12
D1= 0.12×19.08
D1= $2.28
Hence the expected amount for the next dividend is $2.28
