The market price of a security is $50. Its expected rate of return is 14%. The risk-free rate is 6% and the market risk premium is 8.5%. What will be the market price of the security if its correlation coefficient with the market portfolio doubles (and all other variables remain unchanged)? Assume that the stock is expected to pay a constant dividend in perpetuity

Assume that all the probabilities are risk-neutral probabilities, which means the cost of capital is always the risk-free rate and risk-free rates follow this path: The current interest rate for a risk-free perpetuity is 8% ; in one year, there is a 60% chance that all risk-free interest rates will be 9.5% and stay there forever and a 35% chance that they will be 5.5% and stay there forever. The current one-year risk-free rate is 7%. What is the cost of capital rate?
