Answer:

The required rate of return is 12.2%

Explanation:

Dividend growth model is used to calculate the price of the stock based on the dividend, its growth and required rate of return.

Formula to calculate the price

Price = Dividend / ( Required rate of return - Growth rate )

P = D / ( r - g)

P = $11.54

D = $0.95

g = 4%

Now placing the given values in the formula

$11.54 = $0.95 / ( r - 4% )

r - 4% = $0.95 / $11.54

r - 4% = 8.2%

r = 8.2% + 4%

r = 12.2%
