Answer:
$6.91
Explanation:
Roys welding common stock sells for $64.20
The annual dividend increase by 4.30%
The market rate of return is 14.6%
Therefore the amount of dividend paid last week can be calculated as follows
64.20 = last week stock × (1-0.043)÷(0.146-0.043)
64.20 = last week stock × 0.957÷ 0.103
64.20 × 0.103 = last week stock × 0.957
= 6.6126 = last week stock × 0.957
Last week stock = 6.6126/0.957
= $6.91
