- An investor is evaluating the maximum amount they are willing to pay for a share of ABC Corporation stock. Using the Capital Asset Pricing Model they determined that their required rate of return is 9%. They estimate that the earnings per share for the next 25 years is $7.00, but only $5.00 after adjusting for inflation . Based on this information what is the maximum amount the investor should pay for one share?arrow_forwardProcter and Gamble (PG) paid an annual dividend of $2.88 in 2021. You expect PG to increase its dividends by 7.2% per year, for the next five years (through 2026), and thereafter by 2.9% per year. If the appropriate equity cost of capital for Procter and Gamble is 7.3% per year, use the dividend-discount model to estimate its value per share at the end of 2021. The price per share is $.

What was the cumulative return from the start of 2018 to the end of 2018 if you had formed the following portfolios: A. Buy 500 shares of JMC, invest the remainder in the risk-free asset. B. Buy 2,000 shares of JMC on margin, borrowing at the risk-free rate. (Hint: When you borrow from the risk-free asset, its weight in your portfolio should be negative.) C. Short-sell 1,000 shares of JMC, invest the remainder in the risk free asset.arrow_forward
