Explanation / Answer

Question 1 - We can solve this question by using gordan growth method

As per gordan growth method,

Price of stock = Current Dividend*(1+g)/(r-g), where g is growth rate and r is required rate of return

r is discount rate in this question

r = 10%

Current dividend = $1.62

Price of stock = $28

Now putting all this value in gordan growth equation

28 = 1.62*(1+g)/(0.1-g)

17.28 = (1+g)/(0.1-g)

17.28*(0.1-g) = 1+g

1.728 - 17.28g = 1+g

0.728 = 18.28g

g = 0.0398

So growth is 3.98%
