Montano1993 [528]

Answer: $32.05

Explanation:

Beta = 0.7

Dividend = $1.25

Growth rate = 4%

Risk free rate = 3%

Market return = 10%

Since, Required return = risk free rate + beta × (market rate - risk free rate)

We will then slot in the values and.this will be:

= 3% + 0.7 × (10% - 3%)

= 3% + (0.7 × 7%)

= 3% + 4.9%

=7.9%

The price of the stock will then be:

= D1/(Required return-Growth rate)

=1.25 / (0.079 - 0.04)

= 1.25 / 0.039

= $32.05
