Answer:
a. 9,50%
b. $47.09
Explanation:
a) Discount rate on the stock
Average Risk Premium of Stock = 7.60%
Current risk-free rate = 1.60%
Discount Rate = 7.60% + 1.90%
Discount Rate = 9.50%
b) Current Price = ($41 + $2) / (1 + 9.50%)^1
Current Price = $43 / (1.0950)^1
Current Price = $43 / (1.0950)^1
Current Price = $43 / 0.91324
Current Price = $47.0851035872278
Current Price = $47.09
Note: Stock price equals the present value of cash flows for a 1-year horizon (Fv + Dividend)/(1+ Discount rate)^n
