Sorbond Industries has a beta of 1.45. The risk-free rate is 8% and the expected

return on the market portfolio is 13%. The company currently pays a dividend of

$2 a share, and investors expect it to experience a growth in dividends of l0% per annum for        many years to come’

  1. What is the stock’s required rate of return according to the CAPM?

b. What is the stock’s present market price per share, assuming this required return?

0

a.Required return = Rf + (Rm – Rf)β

=          0.08 + (0.13 – 0.08)1.45

=          15.25%

 

  1. Using the dividend growth model, we would have

P0        =          D1/(ke – g)

=          2(1.10)/(0.1525 – 0.10)

=          $41.90
