Explanation:

Calculation for Westsyde Tool Company stock today

First step

Using this formula

k = Risk-free rate of return+Stock(Expected return-Risk-free rate of return)

Let plug in the formula

k=0.06 + 1.2(0.12 − 0.06)

k=0.06+1.2(0.06)

k=0.06+0.072

k= 0.132

Now let find the Company stock today using this formula

V0=Dividend +Shares/k

Let plug in the formula

V0=2.00+29.00/1+0.1320

V0=31.00/1.132
