using a Beta of 10
using a Beta of 5
the Capital Asset Pricing Model
the Dividend growth model
Ans: d the dividend growth model
Explanation: Dividend growth model is based on the steady and stable growth of dividend , that calculates the Present value of its dividend growth, and a modification of its terms can be used to assess the cost of equity, it is based on assumption of stable growth forever.
Option a and b is wrong since market beta is 1 and any firm having more than that can be very volatile, its reasonable to having beta range between 1 and 2 but beta of 5 and 10, is very much volatile and a stable firm cant have so much of beta.
Option c is also not seems correct, since this model is also depends on market risk premium and beta of firm, for a different risk investment, there can be different cost of equity, and for a stable corporation, it will provide different values based on their investments.
