The intrinsic value of Sure Tool Company stock today is $20.60

Explanation:

We will find out the instrinsic value of the stock today by the required rate of return formula, but first we will calculate the required return on the stock using the CAPM model.

As per CAPM,

Required Rate of Return = Rf + Beta (Rm - Rf)

Rf = 4%

Rm = 14%

Beta = 1.25

Required rate of Return = 4% + 1.25(14% - 4%) = 16.5%

Intrinsic value of the stock:

Required Rate of Return = (Expected Price - P + Expected Dividend) / P                              [Where P is Intrinsic Value]

0 .165 = ($22 - P + 2) / P

0 .165P = $24 - P

1.165P = $24,

P = $24 / 1.165 = $20.60
