Answer:

Explanation:
The question is to determine the rate of return on Groupong Inc's
The rate of return represents an investment's net gain or net loss calculated over a period of time and usually expressed in terms of the percentage of the initial cost of investment.
The rate of return in this question is calculated as follows:
Rate of Return = (The Dividend for the next year/ the current price of the share) + The Growth rate
The dividend for the next year = current year dividend x (1+r), where r is 3.5
= 2.78 x (1+0.035)
=2.78 x 1.035
= (2.8773/38.3) + 0.035
=0.1101 or 11%
