Answer:

(a) $4.08

(b) $51.03

Explanation:

Constant growth rate for earnings:

= (EPS for any year ÷ EPS for the previous year) - 1

= (8.40 ÷ 8.00) - 1

= 0.05

= 5%

(a) EPS for 2016 = EPS for 2015 × (1 + 5%)

                          = 9.72 × 1.05

                          = $10.21          

Dividend for 2016 = 40% × EPS for 2016

                               = 40% × 10.206

                               = $4.08

(b) Stock Price at the beginning of 2016:

= Dividend for 2016 ÷ (Required rate of return - Constant growth rate)

= 4.0824 ÷ (0.13 - 0.05)

= $51.03

You manage a risky portfolio with an expected rate of return of 17% and a standard deviation of 29%. The T-bill rate is 8%. Your
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

13.85% and 18.9%

Explanation:

As in this exercise we have a free risk asset we will assume that the t-bill has a standard deviation of 0%, so let´s firts calculate the expected return:

E(r)=r_{1}*w_{1} +r_{2}*w_{2} +....+r_{n}*w_{n}

where E(r) is the expected return, r_{i} is the return of the i asset and w_{i} is the investment in i asset, so applying to this particular case we have:

E(r)=17\%*65\%+8\%*35\%

E(r)=13.85\%

the calculation of standar deviation follows the same logic of the previous formula:

Sigma(r)=29\%*65\%+0\%*35\%

Sigma(r)=18.9\%
