Calculation of Rate of return – R RF+(RM-RF)β
Return of each equity share:
Coil Ltd 0.14+(0.2,633-0.14)0.8 0.2386 or 23.86%
Sail Ltd 0.14+(0.2,633-0.14)0.7 0.2,263 or 22.63%
Lip Ltd 0.14+(0.2,633-0.14)0.5 0.2,017 or 20.17%
Govt. Bonds 0.14+(0.2,633-0.14)0.99 0.2,621or 26.21%
The following information is available in respect of Security-X and Security-Y:
Security b Expected Rate of Return
X 1.8 22.00%
Y 1.6 20.40%
Rate of return of market portfolio is 15.3%
If risk free rate of return is 7%, are these securities correctly priced?
What would be the risk free rate of return, if they are correctly priced?
The required return can be ascertained with the help of CAPM equation as follows:
Security X – Formula: RA RF+(RM-RF)β
0.07+(0.153-0.07)1.8
0.2194 or 21.94%
This is less than the expected return of Security X i.e. 22%. Therefore, Security A is not correctly priced.
Security Y – Formula: RA RF+(RM-RF)β
0.07+(0.153-0.07)1.64
0.2028 or 20.28%
Return of 20.28% is less than the expected return of 20.40%. Therefore, Security Y is not correctly priced.
The risk free rate would
(22%-RF)/1.8 (20.40%-RF)/1.6
(0.22%-RF)x1.6 (0.2,040-RF)x1.8
0.3,520-1.6RF 0.3,672-1.8RF
2RF 0.152
RF 7.6%
So, both securities would have correctly priced if the risk free rate is 7.6%.

An investor is holding 1,000 shares of Horizon Ltd. Presently, the rate of dividend being paid by the company is ₹2 per share
and the share is sold at ₹25 per share.
However, several factors are likely to change during the course of the year as given below:
Existing Revised
Risk-free rate (%) 12 10
Market risk premium (%) 6 4
Beta (b) value 1.40 1.25
Expected growth rate (%) 5 9
In view of above factors, should the investor buy, hold or sell the shares and why?
Expected Rate of return on security as per CAPM Model: RF+(RF-RM)β
Existing return 0.12+(0.12-0.06)1.40=0.204 or 20.4%
Revised return 0.10+(0.10-0.04)1.25=0.175 or 17.5%
Existing share price (Po) Do(1+g)/(Ke-g)
2(1+0.05)/(0.204-0.05)=2.10/0.154=13.64%
Revised selling price 2(1+0.09)/(0.175-0.09)=2.18/0.085=25.65%
The current market price of the share is given at ₹25 per share but under equilibrium process it is expected that share price
fell to ₹ 13.64.So it is overpriced and it should be sold.
However in the revised situation, the theoretical price of a share is expected to increase to ₹ 25.65. Subject to other factors,
the investor may hold the share with a view to have capital gain in future.
During a 5 year period, the relevant results for the aggregate market are that the risk free rate (RF) is 8% and the return on
market (RM) is 14%. For that period, the results of five portfolio managers are as follows:
Portfolio Actual Average Beta (β )
Manager Return (%)
A 13 0.80
B 14 1.05
C 17 1.25
D 13 0.90
E 15 0.95
Using CAPM model, you are required to —
(i) Calculate the expected rate of return for each portfolio manager and compare the actual returns with the expected returns;
and (ii) Based upon your calculations, select the portfolio manager with the best performance.
Portfolio Manager Actual Average Return Beta (β ) Expected Return Deviation (Actual-
RP=RF+(RM-RF)β Expected)

Dividend payout ratio is 100%. Explain how under Modigliani & Miller approach, Ramesh, an investor, holding 10% of
shares in Company-A will be better off in switching his holding to Company-B.
Particulars Company-A Company-B
Profit before interest (PBI) 1,20,000 1,20,000

Income in this case:
Income on investment in Company B (20,000x0.6) 12,000
Interest earned on balance funds (10,000x10%) 1,000
Total earnings 13,000
Thus, investor will be better off in switching his holding to Company B.
Diva Ltd. has 10 lakh equity shares outstanding at the end of accounting year 2014-15. The current market price of the shares
is 150 each. The Board of directors of the company has recommended ₹8 per share as dividend. The rate of capitalisation
appropriate to the risk class to which the company belongs is 12%. Based on Modigliani-Miller approach, calculate the
market price of the share if the recommended dividend is – (a) declared; and (b) not declared.
Dividend declared – Miller-Modigliani dividend model – Po (D1+P1)/(1+Ke)
150 (8+P1)/1.12
P1 1.12x150-8=₹160
Dividend not declared – Po (D1+P1)/(1+Ke)
150 (0+P1)/1.12
P1 1.12x150=₹168
A company belongs to a risk class for which the appropriate capitalisation rate is 10%. It currently has outstanding 25,000
shares selling at ₹100 each. The company is contemplating the declaration of dividend of ₹5 per share at the end of the
current financial year. The company expects to have a net income of ₹2.5 lakh and has a proposal for making new
investments of ₹5 lakh.
You are required to show under the Modigliani and Miller (MM) assumptions, whether payment of dividend affects the value
of the company.
I Price of shares if dividend is paid
Po (D1+P1)/(1+Ke)
100 (5+P1)/(1+0.10)
P1 110-5=105
New shares to be issued – Po (m+n)x(P1-1+e)/(1+Ke)
25000x100 (m+25,000)x105-(5,00,000+2,50,000)/(1+0.10)
M 3,571 Shares
Value of firm (25,000+3,571)x105=30,00.000 (approx.)
II Price of shares if dividend is not paid
Po (D1+P1)/(1+Ke)
100 (0+P1)/(1+0.10)
P1 110-0=110
New shares to be issued – Po (m+n)x(P1-1+e)/(1+Ke)
25000x100 (m+25,000)x110-(5,00,000+2,50,000)/(1+0.10)
M 2,273 Shares
Value of firm (25,000+2,273)x110=30,00.000 (approx.)
Thus under Modigliani & Miller (mm) assumptions the payment of dividend does not affect the value of a company.
Abhishek Steel Ltd. has one lakh equity shares outstanding which are selling at ₹100 each. Its capitalisation rate is 14%. The
company is expecting ₹65 lakh income for the current year and is planning to pay dividend amounting to ₹4 lakh. The
company wants to invest in a new project which will cost ₹75 lakh. It is assumed that the Modigliani and Miller Model on
dividend policy is applicable to the company. Compute the price per share at the end of the current year and the number of
shares to be issued for financing the investment when.
(i) Dividend amounting to ₹4 lakh is paid. (ii) Dividend is not paid.

Number of shares 10,00,000/114=8,771.93 or 8,772 shares
Hence, a total of 8,772 shares need to be issued.
Rama Ltd. had 1,00,000 equity shares of Rs.10 each outstanding on 1st January, 2007. The shares are currently being quoted
at par in the market. In the wake of the removal of the dividend restraint, the company now intends to pay a dividend of Rs.2
per share for the current financial year. It belongs to a risk class whose appropriate capitalisation rate is 15%. Using
Modigliani-Miller Model and assuming no taxes, ascertain the price of the company’s shares as it is likely to prevail at the
end of the year — (i) when dividend is declared; and (ii) when no dividend is declared.
Also find out the number of new equity shares that company must issue to meet its investment needs of Rs.4 lakh assuming
that the dividend is paid and the earnings per share works out @ Rs.2.20.
(i) Price of the share, when dividend is declared – Po D1+ P1/(1+ Ke )
Po 2+P1/(1+0.15)

P1 (1.15x10)-2=₹11.5-₹2=₹9.5
(ii) Price of the share, when dividend is declared – Po D1+ P1/(1+ Ke )
Po 0+P1/(1+0.15)
10 0+P1/1.15
P1 (1.15x10)-0=₹11.5-₹0=₹11.5
(iii) Number of New Equity Shares to be issued when dividend is paid: N I-(E-ND)/P1
4,00,000-(2,20,000-2,00,000)/9.5
3,80,000/9.5=40,000 shares
Thus, 40,000 new equity shares are to be issued to meet the investment requirements of the company.
