Answer:

The stock's required rate of return is 8.57%

Explanation:

For computing the required rate of return for the stock, we need to apply the formula which is shown below:

The Required rate of return = (Dividend ÷ price) × 100

                                      = ($3 ÷ $35 per share) × 100

                                      = 8.57%

The find out the required rate of return, the dividend should be proportional to the price.
