Question

Eaton Electronic Company’s treasurer uses both the capital asset pricing model and the dividend valuation model to compute the cost of common equity (also referred to as the required rate of return for common equity).

Assume:

    
a. Compute Ki (required rate of return on common equity based on the capital asset pricing model). (Do not round intermediate calculations. Input your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
  

b. Compute Ke (required rate of return on common equity based on the dividend valuation model). (Do not round intermediate calculations. Input your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
  

Rf = 8 % Km = 13 % ? = 1.5 D1 = $ .90 P0 = $ 16 g = 9 %

Explanation / Answer

a.Required return=Risk free rate+Beta*(MArket rate-Risk free rate)

=8+1.5(13-8)=15.5%

b.Required return=(Dividend for next period/Current price)+Growth rate

=(0.9/16)+0.09=14.63%(Approx)
