Estimating the Market's Expected Growth Rate in Dividends Mattel, Inc. was trading at a price of $26.16 per common share at December 31, 2015. Using the Gordon growth model, estimate the market's expected growth in dividends that is required to yield the $26.16 price per common share. Assume that the current dividend per share is $1.52 and is expected to grow thereafter, and that the cost of equity capital is 8.0%. (Hint: Use the equation for the dividend discount model with increasing perpetuity, at the top of page 12-20.) Round answer to one decimal place (ex: 0.0235 = 2.4%). Note: Assume current dividend per share is the dividend amount when the constant growth period begins. 96 Check
