    The required rate of return is 11%

    Explanation:

    Dividend valuation method calculated the value of stock based on dividend payment, growth rate and required rate of return.

    Use following formula to calculate the the required rate of return

    Price = Dividend / (Required Rate of return - Growth rate)

    20 = $1 / (Required Rate of return - 6%)

    20 = $1 / (Required Rate of return - 0.06)

    Required Rate of return - 0.06 = $1 / $20

    Required Rate of return - 0.06 = 0.05

    Required Rate of return = 0.05 + 0.06

    Required Rate of return = 0.11

    Required Rate of return = 11%
