Answer 1

Answer:

Option E is correct

Price of share = $31.95

Explanation:

The price of the share is the future dividend  discounted at the required rate of return .

The required rate of return is the cost of equity . The cost of equity is computed as follows:

Cost of equity = Rf + β(Rm-Rf)

Rf= 4.50, Rm= 10.50, β= 0,75

Ke= 4.50% + 0.75×(10.50-4.50)

Ke= 9%

Price of share = Do×(1+g)/(Ke-g)

Price of the share = 0.75 × (1.065)/(0.09-0.065)

                             = 31.95

Price of share = $31.95
