9.03%

Explanation:

The required rate of return for Savitz, Inc., shall be determined through the following mentioned formula:

r=[d (1+g) / P] + g

In the given question

r=required rate of return=?

d (1+g) = next dividend payment to be made = $1.96 per share

g=growth rate=4%

P = current selling price of share=$39

r=[$1.96/$39] + 4%

r=9.03%
