Answer:
d. 16% - buy
Explanation:
R = (D1 / P0) + g
Where, R=Expected Return, P0 = Current Market Price = $40, D1=Expected Dividend=$, g = Expected Growth Rate = 11% = 0.11
Expected Return = R = ($2/$40) + 11%
R = 0.05 + 0.11
R = 0.16
R = 16%
Expected Return is higher than the required return of 12%. Hence, it should be bought (it is expected to give higher return than required)
