How to calculate an investor's required rate of return on a common stock?
The required rate of return using dividend discount model is computed as shown below:
= [ Current dividend (1 + growth rate) / ( current stock price) ] + growth rate
The required rate of return using Capital Asset Pricing model is computed as shown below:
= risk free rate + Beta x ( return on market - risk free rate)
In the above equation the difference between return on market and risk free rate is also referred to as market risk premium.
