Answer:
Share price is the PV of Cash flows discounted at required return | |
As per CAPM, Cost of Equity = Rf + (Rm - RF) * Beta | |
Cost of Equity = 9% + (17% - 9%) * 1.8 | |
Cost of Equity = 23.4% | |
170 | |
Share Price = (Dividend in 2007 / (1+r)) + (Dividend in 2013 / (1+r)^7) + (Stock Price in 2013 / (1+r)^7) | |
Share Price = (2 / (1+23.4%)) + (3/ (1+23.4%)^7) + (19/ (1+23.4%)^7) | |
Share Price = $6.67 | |
Option B is correct |
