Answer:

18.36% (B)

Explanation:

Current market price of stock = $24.50

Amount to be sold after four years = $55

Total dividend generated for four years= sum total of individual dividend each year.

= $1.25+$1.35+$1.45+$1.55

= $5.60

%ROI = Dividend/Return × 100%

Return = Amount generated after four years - initial stock price

Return = $55-$24.50

Return = $30.50

%ROI = $5.6/$30.50 × 100

%ROI = 0.1836 × 100

%ROI = 18.36%
