Answer:
$53
Explanation:
The computation of the stock sale at the end of the year is computed after calculating the required rate of return and the growth rate
The required rate of return by applying the Capital Asset Pricing model formula is
= Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)
= 6% + 1.2 × (16% - 6%)
= 6% + 12%
= 18%
Now the growth rate is
Stock price = Dividend per share÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)
$50 = $6 ÷ (18% - growth rate)
So, the growth rate is 6%
Now the ending stock price is
Next year dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)
where,
Next year dividend is
= $6 + $6 × 6%
= $6 + 0.36
= $6.36
So,
= ($6.36) ÷ (18% - 6%)
= $53
