o Use a risk-free rate of 2.0%.
o For the market risk premium, use the following assumptions:
▪ For a large capitalization company (greater than $10.0 billion in
market capitalization) use 6.0% as the market risk premium.
▪ For a mid-cap company (between $2.0 billion and $10.0 billion in
market capitalization) use 8.0% as the market risk premium.
▪ For a small-cap company (less than $2.0 billion in market
capitalization) use 11.0% as the market risk premium.

size you used in Section 3: Dividend Analysis and Preliminary Valuation in Week 3 for the
constant growth formula.

than the rate of return based on size that you used in Section 3 in Week 3 for the
constant growth formula?
o Explain the difference in required rate of returns

Assisting other countries experiencing a crisis
In recent years, the American armed forces have been called on to perform duties that are more humanitarian than militaristic, providing support after the Fukushima disaster, in addition to funds for drought victims in Ethiopia, COVID-19 vaccinations to countries who could not afford them, Ebola patients in West Africa, and earthquake victims in Nepal. Do we have an obligation to assist other countries experiencing a crisis, or should that be left to private relief agencies such as the Red Cross?
