You are considering an investment in software company. The beta of software companies is 1.5. The annual risk-free rate is 2% and the annual market premium is 8%. The expected annual profit from the software subscription is $100,000 and it is expected to grow at the rate of 6% per year. What is the maximum price you are willing to pay for the company?
A. |
$1,250,000.00 |
|
B. |
$1,123,221.12 |
|
C. |
$1,370,925.78 |
|
D. |
$908,153.55 |
As per CAPM,
Rf = Risk free Return = 2%
Rmp = Market Risk Premium= 8%
Beta = 1.5
Required Return = 2% +1.5(8%)
= 14%
So, Required rate of return(Ke) = 14%
Calculating the Maximum Price willing to pay for the company:
Price = Expected Annual Profit/(Ke-g)
= $1,00,00/(0.14-0.06)
= $1250,000
So, the maximum price you are willing to pay for the company is $1250,000
