Solution

To calculate the expected rate of return on the common stock, we can use the Gordon Growth Model. The formula for the Gordon Growth Model is:

Expected Rate of Return = (Dividend / Stock Price) + Growth Rate

Given that the dividend is 2.00pershareandthestockpriceis2.00 per share and the stock price is 40.00 per share, we can substitute these values into the formula:

Expected Rate of Return = (2.00/2.00 / 40.00) + 0.05

Simplifying this equation, we get:

Expected Rate of Return = 0.05 + 0.05

Expected Rate of Return = 0.10

Therefore, the expected rate of return on this security is 10%. So, the correct answer is D. 10%.
