Answer:
The Beta is 1
The required return increases to 13%
Explanation:
The formula for required return is given below:
Required Return = Risk-Free Rate of Return + β(Market Return – Risk-Free Rate of Return)
required return is 11%
risk-free rate of return=7%
Beta is unknown
market return-risk free rate of return is market risk premium is 4%
11%=7%+beta(4%)
11%-7%=beta*4%
4%=beta*4%
beta=4%/4%
beta=1
If the market risk premium increased to 6%,required return is calculated thus:
required return=7%+1(6%)
required return =13%
This implies that the riskier the stock, the higher the market risk premium, the higher the required return to investors.
Answer:
C. $17.25 million
Explanation:
In case of an acquisition, the assets are valued at their fair value and we will also include all unrecorded liabilities. Goodwill will be the excess payment over the net assets of the company. Excess fair value of land means that assets would increase by that amount to arrive at their fair value. Also, We have to include unrecorded liabilities in the total liabilities
Net Assets = Fair value of assets - Total liabilities
Or, Net Assets = (Book value of assets + Excess Fair value of land) - (Book value of liabilities + unrecorded liabilities)
Or, Net Assets = ($261 million + $3 million) - ($172.50 million + $6.75 million) = $84.75 million
Amount paid to acquire = $102 million
Goodwill = $102 million - $84.75 million = $17.25 million
