Answer:

9.03%

Explanation:

The required rate of return for  Savitz, Inc., shall be determined through the following mentioned formula:

r=[d(1+g)/P] +g

In the given question

r=required rate of return=?

d(1+g)=next dividend payment to be made= $1.96 per share

g=growth rate=4%

P= current selling price of share=$39

r=[$1.96/$39] +4%

r=9.03%
