What is the required rate of return?

8%

Explanation:

The dividend discount model state that the price of a stock should be the result of the Present Value of all of its future dividends, the Gordon growth model indicates that:

Price per Share = D / (r - g) Where:

D = the estimated value of next year's dividend

r = The required rate of return

g = the constant growth rate

Expressed in values is:

Share = D / (r - g) = => $33,16 = $1,32 / (r-0,04)

$33,16 (r-0,04) = $1,32

r-0,04 = 1,32/33,16

r-0,04 = 0,0398

r = 0,0398 + 0,04 = 0,0798

r = 8%
