WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
The stock of Canadian Ski Wear is currently trading at $45 a share and the beta of the company is estimated to be 1.3. The
company is expected to pay a dividend of $1.50 a share next year, and this dividend is expected to grow at a rate of 4%
per year. The rate on the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond is 4% and you estimate the market risk premium to be 5%. Using the
CAPM, the company's cost of common stock is 10.5%. To compute the cost using CAPM you use the following model and
inputs:
Kcs = rf + B(rm -rf)
Kes = cost of common stock
If risk-free rate
B = Beta
Im = expected return on the market
So, Cost of common stock = 4% + 1.3(5%) = 10.5%
