    Explanation:

    The model used in this question is the Dividend Discount Model and it is one of the methods used in determining the price of stock. Here, the price of stock had already been determined. We are looking for one of the variables (growth rate) used in determining the price.

    The formula for determining price of stock is:

    Po = D1/r - g

    Where Po is the price of stock

    D1 is the dividend for next year

    r is the rate of return

    g is the dividend growth rate

    $80 = $4.57/0.108 - g

    Cross multiply:

    8.64 - 80g = 4.57

    80g = 8.64 - 4.57

    80g = 4.07

    g = 4.07/80

    g = 0.05088

    g = 5.09%
