Answer:
Should Marston Manufacturing Company accept or reject the project?
Marston C Company should reject the project because its expected return is lower than Division H's cost of capital.
Since the divisions' risk is so different, and probably their projects are also very different, the company should use different costs of capital to accept of reject the projects based on each division's cost of capital.
Imagine another situation where Division L is evaluating a project that yields 10%. If they used the company's WACC, then they should reject the project, but if they used the division's cost of capital, then they should accept the project (in this case I would recommend accepting it).
Explanation:
Division H's risk = 14%
Division L's risk = 8%
WACC = 11%
Answer:
1) Flitcom Corp (Beta = 0.60)
2) Tobotics Inc. (s.d. = 11%)
Explanation:
1. Suppose all stocks in Ariel's portfolio were equally weighted. Which of these stocks would contribute the least market risk to the portfolio?
The indicator of the market risk is the Beta. It relates the variation of the price or value of the stock relative to the variation of the total stocks in the market.
The value of Beta indicates how risky is a stock relative to the risk of the market. A Beta =1 means it has the same systemic risk as the market. If Beta<1, the stock is less volatile than the market, and if Beta>1, it is more volatile than the market.
Then, the stock with less value of Beta will contribute the least risk to the portfolio.
This is the case of Flitcom Corp (Beta=0.60)
2. Suppose all stocks in the portfolio were equally weighted. Which of these stocks would have the least amount of stand-alone risk?
The stand-alone is reflected by the standard deviation. The less the standard deviation, the less risk of the stock (measured only the stock variability).
This is the case of Tobotics Inc. (s.d. = 11%)
The duration of Security P based on the info given will be 11 years.
<h3>How to calculate the time?</h3>
From the information given, Security P is a preferred stock and Security Z is a zero coupon bond that has 11 years remaining until maturity.
Therefore, the duration will be:
= (1 + y)/y
= (1 + 0.1)/0.1
= 1.1/0.1
= 11 years
