Constant growth rate and common stock price


Problem: Philly Corp's stock recently paid a dividend of $2 per share (Do = $2), and the stock is in equilibrium. The company has a constant growth rate of 5% and a beta of 1.5. The required rate of return on the market is 15%, and the risk free rate is 7%. Philly is thinking of making a chance that will increase its beta coefficient to 1.75. If market conditions remain unchanged, what new constant growth rate will cause the common stock price of Philly to remain unchanged?
