Answer: $25

Explanation: Dividends are the returns the shareholders of the company get for investing the the company and bearing the risk and it is calculated as follows :-

Dividend = (value of share) * (rate of return)

Here we have,

Dividend = $5

rate of return = 20%

Therefore,

[tex]value\:of\:share\:=\:\frac{dividend}{rate\:of\:return}[/tex]

[tex]value\:of\:share\:=\:\frac{\$5}{20\%}[/tex]

                                = $25
