Answer:

Ke 13% according to CAPM

Explanation:

We calculate the cost of equity using the CAPM

Ke= r_f + \beta (r_m-r_f)  

risk free 0.05

market rate  

premium market = (market rate - risk free)= 0.08

beta(non diversifiable risk) = 1

<u>We have to use the beta of the firm. </u>

The beta of a comparable firm is used when we lack information for our own firm.

Ke= 0.05 + 1 (0.08)  

Ke 0.13000 = 13%

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

Quarterly dividend = $1.00

Required rate of return per annum = 8% = 0.08

Quarterly rate of return = 0.08/4 = 0.02

Current market price = <u>Quarterly dividend</u>

                                      Quarterly required rate of return

                                   = $1.00

                                       0.08

                                   = $12.5      

The amount to pay for 1,000 shares = $1.25 x 1,000 = $12,500

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

Explanation:

The current market price is calculated as quarterly dividend paid divided by quarterly required rate of return. Then, we will multiply the current market price by the number of shares in order to determine the total amount to pay for the shares.
