Midland’s choice of market risk premium of 5% does appear to be an appropriate selection in this instance. From exhibit 6, we found that this EMRP is lower than the historical data of U.S. stock returns minus Treasury bond yields and is higher than the market risk premium from the survey results. So we recommend that the risk premium rate can be narrowed between 4.8% to 5.6%. 4.8% is the lowest of higher EMRP while 5.6% is the highest of the lower EMRP. In a word, our team think that 5% is a reasonable market risk premium.

Although this investment class can be considered the most conservative of the three, the low yield of government bonds in the past 10 years does not lend a comparative metric against many other investment opportunities (Jacobs, 2012). The fixed rate of these instruments allows for a guaranteed return, but should only be utilized at a point in an investing cycle when risk is higher than potential income growth. The 25% allocation that is invested in this class is positioned to provide a long term guaranteed investment, with the possible that these lower rates will not rise significantly in the next few years.

Given these approximations, the CAPM model would total the risk-free rate and the market risk premium times beta to arrive at a cost of equity of 9.68%, which reflects the investors’ expected return from investing in shares of the company.

According to the newspaper, the Rf (risk free-rate) for a long-term Government of Canada Bonds is 5.82%. The RM (return on the market) as the geometric average for Market Index is 10.2%. For the accuracy reason, we chose to use the geometric average for both long-term government bonds and market portfolio.

Cost of Equity = Risk free rate + (Market return – risk free rate) X beta
