Answer: 18.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that a stock will pay a dividend of $9 at the end of the year and that it sells today for $101 and its dividends are expected grow at a rate of 10%.

The implied rate of return on this stock will be:

= ( D1 / share price) + growth rate

= (9/101) + 10%

= 0.089 + 0.1

= 0.189

= 18.9%
