Draw the Security Market Line and plot the stock on it. Be sure to label relevant points.
Calculations are done by using the following formulas:
Dividend Yield = (DPS / MPS)*100
Expected Return (ke) = Rf + Beta * RPm
Original Market Price (Po) = D1 / (Ke - g)
Capital Gain Yield = (P1 - P0) / P0
Security Market Line (SML) is a graphical representation which shows the risk as against the expected return.
