Study Session 11-45-h
calculate and interpret the cost of equity capital using the capital asset pricing model approach, the dividend discount model approach, and the bond-yield-plus risk-premium approach
According to the dividend discount model approach, the cost of common equity is equal to the dividend yield plus the growth rate. In this case, the growth rate is the earnings retention rate times the expected ROE or (1 - dividend payout rate) x expected ROE = 1 - 0.4) x 15% = 9%. The expected dividend = 2.40 x (1 + 0.09) = 2.616. The expected dividend yield = 2.616 / 32 = 8.175%. The cost of common equity = 8.175% + 9.0% ≈ 17.2%.

“Working Capital Management,” EdgarA. Norton, Jr., Kenneth L. Parkinson, and Pamela p. Peterson
2008 Modular Level I, Vol. 4, pp. 101-102
Study Session 11-46-e
compute and interpret comparable yields on various securities, compare portfolio returns against a standard benchmark, and evaluate a company’s short-term investment policy guidelines
Money market yield = discount-basis yield x (face value / purchase price)
Purchase price = face value - [font value x discount-basis yield x (days to maturity / 360)]
= $1,000,000 - [$1,000,000 x 0.0405 x (150 / 360)] = $983,125
Money market yield = 4.05% x ($1,000,000 / $983,125) = 4.12%
