Answer:

$27.39

Explanation:

The required return = Risk-free rate + Beta*(market rate- risk-free rate)

The required return = 6% + 1.2*(12%-6%)

The required return = 6% + 7.2%

The required return = 13.2%

Intrinsic value = Future dividend *Present value of discounting factor  + Value*Present value of discounting factor

Intrinsic value = $2/1.132 + $29/1.132

Intrinsic value = $1.76678 + $25.6184

Intrinsic value =  $27.38518

Intrinsic value = $27.39

Thus, the intrinsic value of Westsyde Tool Company stock today is $27.39
