15.A stock is trading for 12, and just paid a dividend of 1.3 which is expected to grow at a fraction 0.19 per year. If Goldman Sacs charges a fraction 0.13 as a flotation cost, what is the required rate of return on a new stock issue?
Given,
Current price = 12
Dividend = 1.3
Growth rate = 0.19
Flotation cost = 0.13
Solution :-
Required rate of return = [Dividend x (1 + growth rate) {Current price x (1 - flotation cost)}] + growth rate
= [{1.3 x (1 + 0.19)} {12 x (1 - 0.13)}] + 0.19
= [{1.3 x 1.19} {12 x 0.87}] + 0.19
= [1.547 10.44] + 0.19
= 0.14818 + 0.19 = 0.3382 or 33.82%
