If Zigi, Inc. just paid a dividend of $4.57 per share (i.e., D0 = 4.57), and if investors expect that the company’s dividends will grow at an annual rate of 2.47% forever, then Zigi, Inc.’s required rate of return is ____%. (Record your answer rounded to 1 decimal place; for example, record 18.29654% as 18.3). 45. Phillips, Inc. just paid a dividend of $3.25 per share on its common stock (that is, D0 = 3.25). Investors expect the dividend to grow at 45% in years 1 and 2, they expect the dividend to grow at 25% in year 3 and they expect that all future dividends (that is, dividends in years 4, 5, ..., infinity) to grow at a constant rate of 5% per year.
