| VenkatB | How is it 20% ? I think it should be (22-20)/20 = 10% |
| JimM | Took me a moment. The expected required return is what is given when the stock is purchased at a price equal to intrinsic value. If the price is below intrinsic value, then the return to get it up to that value is added to the required return to get expected return. |
| bodduna | ER = RoR + Exp.Alpha. price convergence to value. |
| srki | Good question |
| rodney176 | Good question, separating required return from alpha |
| ashish100 | Someone else take this mark meldrum to confirm and paste the results here but, Price convergence to value (10%) is not the alpha that's shown on the correct formula given by bodduna return = cap gains + divs Return = required + alpha So return here is 10 % |
| khalifa92 | E(R)= r + (V0-P0/P0) they just gave us the components names |
