    15% = $6 / $50 + growth rate

    Growth rate= 15% - ($6 / $50) = 5%.

    5% growth on $50 per share stock over 1 year = $2.50

    Ignoring the interim, including the ex-dividend date, at least 3% or $1.50, if they're asking this from a math perceptive. ie if this is for an entry level course, Managerial Finance something like that.

    Have to hold it a year and a day for the lower tax rate. I know it doesn't matter for your textbook problem, just saying.
