Risk-free Rate = 3.00%
Market Premium = 4.00%
Beta = 1.20
Required Return = Risk-free Rate + Beta * Market Premium
Required Return = 3.00% + 1.20 * 4.00%
Required Return = 7.80%
Recent Dividend, D0 = $5.50
Growth Rate, = 5.00%
Required Return, r = 7.80%
D1 = D0 * (1 + g)
D1 = $5.50 * 1.05
D1 = $5.775
Intrinsic Value = D1 / (r - g)
Intrinsic Value = $5.775 / (0.078 - 0.05)
Intrinsic Value = $206.25
Sally’s stock would be undervalued because the market price is less than the resulting share value.
