18.17% return the shareholders are expecting.
According to the constant dividend growth model
price = d1 / (r - g)
Next dividend to be paid=(0.44 x 1.1610)
Cost of equity= r
Growth rate=0.1610
24.67 = (0.44 x 1.1610) / (r - 0.1610)
24.67 x (r - 0.1610) = 0.51084
(r - 0.1610) = 0.02070
cost of equity, r= 0.2070+0.1610
cost of equity, r = 0.1817
= 18.17%
shareholders return expecting = 18.17%
