Respuesta :

Answer:

The appropriate choice is Option c (4.25%).

Explanation:

Given:

Annual dividend,

= $4.29

Price per share,

= $101.03

Now,

The required return will be:

= [tex]\frac{Annual \ dividend}{Price \ per \ share}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{4.29}{101.03}[/tex]

= [tex]0.04246[/tex]

or,

= [tex]4.25[/tex] (%)
