Answer:

The answer is 14%

Explanation:

This will be solved by Dividend discount model based approach

re = D1/Po + g

where re is the rate of return

D1 is expected dividend($2)

Po is the current market value of equity($20)

g is the expected growth rate of dividend(4% or 0.04)

2/20 + 0.04

0.1 + 0.04

= 0.14

Expressed as a percentage is

0.14 x 100

14%

Therefore, the expected return is 14%
