Explanation / Answer

20. The Cost of equity is given by by CAPM is Ke = Rf + beta*(Rm-Rf) = 16 - 0.25*(14-6) = 4% =0.04

According to the dividend distribution model, DDM, Ke = D1/ P0 + g

and P0 = D1/(ke-g)

D1 = 8, g = -0.02 and Ke = 0.04

Hence P0= Intrinsic price = 8/(0.04+0.02)=8/0.06 = 133.33

Answer is B:133.33

19.The intrinsic value of stock X will be less than the intrinsic value of stock Y. (OptionD)

Explanation: . P0 = d1/(ke-g) and since Ke and g are equal and X is having lower dividend, it price will be lower than Y
