The next dividend payment by Grenier, Inc., will be $1.40 per share. The dividends are anticipated to maintain a growth rate of 6 percent forever. If the stock currently sells for $25 per share, what is the required return

Required Rate of return is 11.6%

Explanation:

Dividend Valuation method is used to value the stock price of a company based on the dividend paid, its growth rate and rate of return. The price is calculated by calculating present value of future dividend payment.

As we have the value of the share, we need to calculate the required return rate using following formula.

As the dividend is also given for the next period so we don't need to grow it.

Value of Share = Dividend / (Rate of return - Growth rate)

$25 = $1.40 / ( r - 6% )

r - 0.06 = $1.40 / $25

r - 0.06 = $1.40 / $25

r - 0.06 = 0.056

r = 0.056 + 0.06

r = 0.116

r = 11.6%

being born in poverty would limit the people's chances, opportunities and benefits.

this happen because of several things, such as:

- poor people tend to gain less access to good education and nutrition. this mean that their chance to obtain high paying jobs would also be limited.

- poor people tend to socialize with other poor people while the rich tend to socialize with other rich people. this means that simply throguh their social circle, rich people would have more business opportunities compared to the poor people.

- rich people tend to have more capital in their disposal. this would benefit them in business since it is far easier for them to fund their business operation compared to poor people.
