D. Question:
To estimate the cost of equity we can use the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) or the
Discount Growth Model (DGM). How we can decide which model to use? Explain.
The objective function of an investor in a CAPM world is to what (mathematically) [what are your trying to maximize]? What is the major assumption about the distribution of returns that we have to make to get to this objective function?
I need to calculate the cost of equity with the following data:
The current appropriate risk-free rate is 6% and the return on the market is 13.5%. levered beta is 1.29. Using the CAPM, estimate DE’s cost of equity. Be sure to state any additional assumptions
