Markus Jordan · Answer 1

e. $62.25

Explanation:

The computation of required rate of return is shown below:-

Required rate of return = Selling per share * (1 + Rate of interest) - Dividend

= $60 * (1 + 11%) - $4.35

= $60 * 1.11 - $4.35

= $66.6 - $4.35

= $62.25

Therefore for computing the required rate of return we simply we simply applied the above formula.
