Answer:

a. 16.00%

b. $13.50

Explanation:

a. The computation of the required return is shown below:

Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)

= 4% + 1.5 × (12% - 4%)

= 4% + 1.5 × 8%

= 4% + 12

= 16.00%

b. Now the stock price is

= Current year dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)

= ($1 × 1.08) ÷ (16% - 8%)

= 1.08 ÷ 8%

= $13.50

We simply applied the above formulas
