Question

Miltmar Corporation will pay a year-end dividend of $4, and dividends thereafter are expected to grow at the constant rate of 6% per year. The risk-free rate is 5%, and the expected return on the market portfolio is 10%. The stock has a beta of 0.66.

A.) Calculate the market capitalization rate. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

B.) What is the intrinsic value of the stock? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Explanation / Answer

A)

Expected return = Rf+×Rp

Rf is risk free return

Rp is risk premium

= 5%+0.66×(10%-5%)

= 8.3%

B)

Intrinsic value of share:

Stock price = D1÷(r-g)

D1 is next expected dividend

r is cost of common stock

g is growth rate

= $4÷(8.3%-6%)

= $173.91
