Leandro Watts · Answer 1

a) 11.73% b) g = 18.40%

Explanation:

a) Cost of Capital = ?

Given beta = 1.3, RF = 5.1%, MRP = 5.1%

USE CAPM to calculate cost of capital

Ke = RF + b * (RM-RF)

= 5.1+1.3 (5.1%)

=11.73%

b) SP = D1 / r - g

30 = 2 / (0.1173 - g)

30 (0.1173-g) = 2

30 (0.1173-g) / 30 = 2/30

0.1173-g = 0.067

g = 0.1173+0.06=0.1840/18.40%
