Using the constant growth model of dividend discount model, we can calculate the price of the stock today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under this model is,

P0 = D1 / (r - g)

Where,

Plugging in the available values for P0, D1 and r, we can calculate the value of g.

82 = 4.65  /  (0.109 - g)

82 * (0.109 - g) = 4.65

8.938 - 82g  =  4.65

8.938 - 4.65 = 82g

4.288 = 82g

g = 4.288 / 82

g = 0.05229 or 5.229% rounded off to 5.23%
