Solution to your query-
Given in Ques
Current MP=40 (P0), RF=5.2%, Beta=0.8, Market Risk Premium (Market Rate of Return-Rf)=6%, Expected Dividend(D1)=3
First of all calculate Ke by CAPM modle
Ke=Rf+beta*Market risk premium
i.e, 0.052+0.8*.06=0.1 or 10%
now calculate Growth rate
Ke=D1/P0+g
.1=3/40+g, g=0.025 or 2.5%,
then calculate markt price at the end of 3 yrs
P1=P0(1+g)
40(1+.025) raise to the power 3
P1=43.07 mkt price at the end of 3 yrs....
i thnk it must be correct...
