Broken just paid annual dividends of R2, has beta of 1

Finance May 21, 2021

Broken just paid annual dividends of R2, has beta of 1.3, and a growth rate of 6% for the foreseeable future. The current return on the market is 10%, and Treasury bills earn 4%. 

Required:

If the rate on Treasury bills drops by 0.50% and market premium increases by 1.0%, what growth rate would keep Broken's stock price constant?

Expert Solution

Computation of Revised Growth Rate:

Rate of return = Risk free rate + Beta * (Market return - Risk free rate)

 = 4% + 1.3 * (10% - 4%)

Rate of return = 11.80%

 

Now,

Expected dividend / Price of share = Rate of return - Growth rate

Expected dividend / Price of share = 11.80% - 6%

Expected dividend / Price of share = 5.80%

 

 

Market risk premium = 10%-4% + 1% = 7%

Using CAPM for revised return:

Revised of Return = 3.50% + 1.3 * 7%

Revised of Return = 12.60%

Now,

Expected dividend / Price of share = Revised rate of return - Revised Growth rate

5.80% = 12.60% - Revised Growth rate

Revised Growth rate = 6.80%
