Chapter 12, Question 10b: You need to estimate the equity cost of capital for XYZ Corp. You have the following data available regarding past returns: Year Risk-free Return 2007 3% 2008 1% Market Return XYZ Return 6% 10% -37% -45% Part B Estimate XYZ's beta (Hint: You'd better compute the market's and XYZ's excess returns for each year to proceed) beta = 1.17 beta 1.35 beta = 1.11 Obeta = 1.29
1. You have been asked to calculate the cost of equity using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). The CFO estimates the Beta as 0.90. Management wants to use the 30 year bond rate as the risk free rate, arguing that Investors should make long term investments; that rate is 3% today. The expected return on the stock market as a whole has been estimated to be 7%, 10% and 12% by various studies. The CFO asks that you use an expected return of 9% for the average stock. The market risk Premium (RPM) will be 6%. 9% minus 3% = 6%. Calculate the cost of equity (Rs) using the CAPM. The formula is Rs = rRF + (RPM ) x β. Rs is the required return on equity or the Cost of Equity, rRF is the risk free rate, RP M is the required stock market return in excess of the risk free rate, and β , (Beta) is the stocks relative risk. β is also described as the estimate of the amount of risk that an individual stock contributes to a well balance portfolio. 2.
