Answer:

= $93.64

Explanation:

Price = D1/ (r-g)

D1 = Dividend next year =D0(1+g)

D1 = 2(1.03) =2.06

g; growth rate = 3%

r= required return (Use CAPM to find it) as shown below;

CAPM ;r = risk free + beta(MRP)

beta = 40% *1 ( since market beta is equal to 1)

therefore, Beta = 0.4

CAPM; r = 2% + (0.4*8%) = 5.2%

Next, use the rate of return i.e 5.2% , to calculate the price of the stock;

Price = D1/ (r-g)

= 2.06 / (5.2% -3%)

Price = $93.64
