Question
Based on CAPM and the Gordon growth model, what is the value of the UC stock if the firm's retention ratio is 0.7, its tax rate is 40%, and its beta is 1.12?
Answer Choices:
A. $9.72
B. $20.79
C. $44.49
Explanation
From CAPM:
r = 0.03 + (0.09 − 0.03)
r = 0.03 + 1.12(0.06)
r = 0.0972
V0 = D1 / (r − g)
= 2.00(1 + 0.05) / (0.0972 − 0.05)
= 2.10 / 0.0472 = $44.49
