The risk-free rate of return is 2 percent, and the market risk premium is 9 percent. The stock of Todd Mountain Development Corporation has a beta of 1.4. Using the constant-growth Dividend Discount Model and CAPM to estimate the cost of equity, what is the intrinsic value of the stock?

3.Lifecycle Motorcycle Company is expected to pay a dividend in year 1 of $2, a dividend in year 2 of $3, and a dividend in year 3 of $4. After year 3, dividends are expected to grow at the rate of 4 percent per year. An appropriate required return for the stock is 11 percent. Using the multistage DDM, compute the intrinsic value of the stock.

Explanation / Answer

2.

Required rate of return for company is calculated below using CAPM model:

Required rate of return = 2% + (9% × 1.40)

= 2% + 12.60%

= 14.60%

Required rate of return is 14.60%.

Expected Dividend = $4.69

Constant growth rate = 2%.

Current Stock price = $4.69 / (14.60% - 2%)

= $4.69 / 12.60%

= $37.22

Current Stock price of company is $37.22
