Answer:

What the investors will do depends on whether the actual return will be higher, lower or the same as the required return (Opportunity cost of capital) .

The Actual return can be calculated using the Holding Period Return which is;

= (Earnings(Dividends) + (Ending Stock Price - Beginning Stock Price))/Beginning Stock Price

= (2 + (52 - 50))/50

= 4/50

= 8%

The Opportunity Cost of Capital can be calculated using CAPM.

= Risk Free Rate + beta(Market Premium)

= 4% + 0.75(7%)

= 9.25%

The Opportunity Cost of Capital is greater than the Actual Return from the stock so the stock is a bad buy.

Investors will not invest.

          6,352 x 0.35 = 2,223.2

after tax cash flow: 22,000 - 2,223.2 = 19,776.8
