1) Computation of the equilibrium expected rate of return on Homton's stock:-

Expected rate of return = Risk free rate + Beta * (Expected market return - Risk free rate)

= 4% + 1.57 * (15% - 4%)

= 4% + (1.57 * 11%)

= 4% + 17.27%

= 21.27%

 

2) Computation of the discount rate:-

Discount rate = Cap rate + Growth rate

= 12% + 6%

= 18%

Computation of the change in discount rate:-

Change in discount rate = Change in cap rate + Change in growth rate

= 10% + 5%

= 15%
