Dividend = $17,935

Explanation:

We need to calculate the current share price

Current share price = ({Dividend year 1} ÷ {1 + required return}) + ({Dividend year 2} ÷ {1 + required return}^2)

Current share price= ({1.04} ÷ {1 + 0.158}) + ({37.5} ÷ {1 + 0.158}^2)

Current share price= 0.898 + 27.96

Current share price= $28.86

To calculate income for 2 years

Share price is $28.86

Return is 15.8%

Current share price = ({Dividend year 1} ÷ {1 + required return}) + ({Dividend year 2} ÷ {1 + required return}^2)

28.86 = ({Dividend year 1} ÷ {1 + 0.158}) + ({Dividend Year 2} ÷ {1 + 0.158}^2})

28.86 * 1.158 * 1.341 = (Dividend * 1.158) + (Dividend * 1.341)

44.82 = 2.499 * (dividend)

Dividend = $17.935

So for 1,000 shares

Dividend = 1,000 * 17.935 = $17,935
