1. **State the problem:** We need to calculate the implied growth rate $g$ using the given dividend growth model formula:
$$P_0 = \frac{D_0(1+g)}{r-g}$$
where $P_0 = 24.25$, $D_0 = 1.10$, and $r = 0.085$.
2. **Write the equation with given values:**
$$24.25 = \frac{1.10(1+g)}{0.085 - g}$$
3. **Multiply both sides by the denominator to clear the fraction:**
$$24.25(0.085 - g) = 1.10(1 + g)$$
4. **Distribute terms:**
$$24.25 \times 0.085 - 24.25g = 1.10 + 1.10g$$
$$2.06125 - 24.25g = 1.10 + 1.10g$$
5. **Bring all terms involving $g$ to one side and constants to the other:**
$$2.06125 - 1.10 = 1.10g + 24.25g$$
$$0.96125 = 25.35g$$
6. **Solve for $g$ by dividing both sides by 25.35:**
$$g = \frac{0.96125}{25.35}$$
$$g = 0.0379$$
7. **Interpretation:** The implied growth rate $g$ is approximately 0.0379 or 3.79%.
