    The required rate of return is 16%

    Explanation:

    The constant growth model of the DDM is used whenever the dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate in the future forever. The formula for the constant growth model to calculate the price of the share today is,

    P0 = D1 / r-g

    Where D1 is dividend next year or D0 * (1+g)

    r is the required rate of return

    g is the growth rate in dividends

    Plugging in the available variables, we can calculate the required rate of return (r).

    18.22 = 2.4 * (1+0.025) / r - 0.025

    18.22 * (r-0.025) = 2.46

    18.22r - 0.4555 = 2.46

    18.22r = 2.46 + 0.4555

    r = 2.9155 / 18.22

    r = 0.1600 or 16.00%
