Miltmar Corporation will pay a year-end dividend of $4, and
dividends thereafter are expected to grow at the constant rate of
6% per year. The risk-free rate is 6%, and the expected return on
the market portfolio is 12%. The stock has a beta of 0.86.
a. Calculate the market capitalization rate.

to 2 decimal places.)

b. What is the intrinsic value of the stock?

Solution a :
Market capitalization rate is calculated using the following formula :
Market capitalization rate = RF + [ β * ( RM - RF ) ]
Where
RF = Risk free rate ; β = Beta of the stock; RM = Expected return on the market portfolio
As per the information given in the question we have
RF = 6 % ; RM = 12 % ; β = 0.86
Applying the above values in the formula we have
= 6 % + [ 0.86 * ( 12 % - 6 % ) ]
= 6 % + [ 0.86 * 6 % ]
= 6 % + 5.16 % = 11.16 %
= 11.16 %
Thus the market capitalization rate is = 11.16 %
Solution b :
The formula for calculating the Intrinsic value of the stock is
= D1 / (Ke – g )
As per the information given in the question we have
Year end Dividend = D1 = $ 4
Growth rate = g = 6 % = 0.06
Ke = Market capitalization rate = 11.16 % = 0.1116
Applying the above values in the formula we have
Intrinsic value of the stock
= $ 4 / ( 0.1116 – 0.06 )
= $ 4 / 0.0516
= $ 77.5194
= $ 77. 52 ( when rounded off to two decimal places )
Thus the Intrinsic value of the stock = $ 77.52
