Answer: $3.46
Explanation:
Given the following :
Current share price (P0) = $90 per share
Required return on stock= 8%
total return on the stock is evenly divided between a capital gains yield and a dividend yield ;
Therefore, Required return on stock= 8% ;
4% capital gain yield + 4% Dividend yield = 8%
Growth rate = 4% = 4/ 100 = 0.04
D1 = D0(1 + g)
D1 = value of next year's Dividend
D0 = current Dividend yield
g = Constant growth rate
D1 = current stock price * g
D1 = 90 * 0.04 = 3.6
D1 = D0(1 + g)
D0 = D1 / (1+g)
D0 = 3.6 / (1+ 0.04)
D0 = 3.6 / 1.04
D0 = $3.46
Answer:
14.57%
Explanation:
A stock has a beta of 1.4
The expected return is 18%
The risk free rate is 6%
Therefore, the expected return on the market portfolio can be calculated as follows
18%= 6% + 1.4(market return-6%)
18%= 6% + 1.4market return - 8.4
18%= 6-8.4 + 1.4market return
18%= -2.4% + 1.4market return
18%+2.4%= 1.4market return
20.4= 1.4market return
market return= 20.4/1.4
= 14.57%
Hence the expected return on the market portfolio is 14.57%
