The 5-year average market return of (say, S&P 500 index) in the same period is 11%.
Answer the following questions:
a) What is the required return for ABC?
13.4% = 1.5 + 1.25(11-1.5)
b) Suppose that ABC's current dividend is $1.24 per share with possible expected growth rate as 5% per year from now on, what is your assessment for the value of ABC’s stock?
