Answer:
As per CAPM,
Cost of Equity = Risk Free Rate + Beta * Market Risk Premium
Cost of Equity = 5.00% + 1.30 * 6.00%
Cost of Equity = 5.00% + 7.80%
Cost of Equity = 12.80%
As per Constant Dividend Growth Model,
Cost of Equity = Expected Dividend / Current Price + Growth
Rate
Current Dividend (D0) = $1.00
Growth Rate = 7.00%
Expected Dividend (D1) = $1.00 * (1 + 0.07)
Expected Dividend (D1) = $1.07
Cost of Equity = Expected Dividend / Current Price + Growth
Rate
0.1280 = $1.07 / Current Price + 0.07
0.0580 = $1.07 / Current Price
Current Price = $18.45
