A share of stock sells for $65 today. The beta of the stock is 1.5, and the expected return on the market is 12%. The stock is expected to pay a dividend of $1.50 in one year. With the risk free rate of return 3.41%, what will the share price be in one year, just after the dividend is paid?
Select one:
A. 75.09
B. 72.59
C. 76.09
D. 75.59
E. 74.09
Growth rate = Ke - [ D1 / P0 ]
Ke = required Ret
D1= Expected Div
P0 = price today
Ke = Rf + Beta ( Rm - Rf)
Rf = Risk free ret
Rm = Market ret
Rm - Rf = Risk Premium
Beta = Systematic Risk
= 3.41% + 1.5 ( 12% - 3.41%)
= 3.41% + 1.5 (8.59% )
= 3.41% + 12.89%
= 16.3%
Growth rate = Ke - [ D1 / P0 ]
= 16.3% - [ 1.50 / 65 ]
= 16.3% - 2.31%
= 13.987%
P1 = D2 / [ Ke - g ]
D2 = D1 (1+g)
= 1.50 ( 1 + 0.14 )
= 1.50 * 1.13987
= 1.71
= D2 / [ Ke - g ]
= 1.71 / [ 16.3% - 13.99% ]
= 1.71 / 2.31%
= $ 74.09
Option E correct.
