    g = r x b

    g = 0.13 x 0.64

    g = 0.832 = 8.32%

    D1 = Do (1+g)

    D1=$2.05 (1+0.832)

    D1 = $2.22

    Explanation:

    In this case, there is need to calculate the growth rate by considering the plowback ratio and return on equity. Thereafter, we will subject the last year dividend to growth in order to determine the dividend in the coming year.
