    Quarterly dividend = $1.00

    Required rate of return per annum = 8% = 0.08

    Quarterly rate of return = 0.08/4 = 0.02

    Current market price = Quarterly dividend

    Quarterly required rate of return

    = $1.00

    0.08

    = $12.5

    The amount to pay for 1,000 shares = $1.25 x 1,000 = $12,500

    Explanation:

    The current market price is calculated as quarterly dividend paid divided by quarterly required rate of return. Then, we will multiply the current market price by the number of shares in order to determine the total amount to pay for the shares.
