b. 12.0%
Explanation:
a. DDM
Dividende Discount Method is used to calculate the price of the stock using Dividend, rate of return and growth rate.
Return on equity = [ Dividend x ( 1 + growth rate ) / Price of stock ] + Growth Rate
Return on equity = [ $0.5 x ( 1 + 6% ) / $76 ] + 6%
Return on equity = [ $0.5 x ( 1.06 ) / $76 ] + 0.06
Return on equity = 6.7%

f + β ( Rm − R
f )
Rf = Risk free rate
β = stock beta
Rm = Market rate
Re =Expected rate
Re = 5.9% + 1.20 ( 11% - 5.9% )
Re = 12.02%
Answer:
D. $375,000
Explanation:
Expected return of 13% for $1,000,000 will be $130,000
If we invest $375,000 in Stock X, our expected return based on 18% will be $ 67,500 and the remaining $625,000 will be invested in Stock X, therefore expected return based on 10% will be $ 62,500 and thereby giving the total return of $130,000 which is 13% of $1,000,000 and hence $375,000 will be invested in Stock X
