Answer:
expected return on market = 0.10373 or 10.373%
Explanation:
Using the CAPM, we can calculate the required/expected rate of return on a stock. This is the minimum return required by the investors to invest in a stock based on its systematic risk, the market's risk premium and the risk free rate.
The formula for required rate of return under CAPM is,
r = rRF + Beta * rpM
Where,
- rRF is the risk free rate
- rpM is the market risk premium
We will first calculate the market risk premium using the required rate of return for stock, beta and risk free rate and plugging these values in the formula above.
0.1330 = 0.058 + 1.64 * rpM
0.1330 - 0.058 = 1.64 *rpM
0.075 = 1.64 * rpM
rpM = 0.075 / 1.64
rpM = 0.04573 or 4.573%
As we know that the beta for market is always equal to 1, we can calculate the rate of return for market as,
expected return on market = 0.058 + 1 * 0.04573
expected return on market = 0.10373 or 10.373%
Answer:
The answer is C.
Explanation:
Debt-to-equity ratio is an economical term that is used to express the balance between a companies total debt and its assets. It shows at what ratio the company's assets are funded by investors, stakeholders etc.
Since the industry average debt-to-equity ratio is 0.80 and the two companies have debt-to-equity ratios of 1.00 and 1.50 respectively, they are both over the average.
But with the higher ratio, Carter Co. has a higher financial risk compared to Sunny Co. and the industry average debt-to-equity ratio. So the correct answer is C.
I hope this answer helps.
Answer:
142.5
Explanation:
To determine the price forecast for year 2006 we must find the average price for the prior four years:
price forecast for 2006 = (100 + 120 + 140 + 210) / 4 = 570 / 4 = 142.5
The simple moving average (SMA) is just the average price for the previous years.
Answer:
$922.69
Explanation:
The price of the 3-year bond can be computed using the below bond price formula:
Price=face value/(1+r)^n+coupon*(1-(1+r)^-n)/r
face value is $1000
r is the new interest rate of 8%
n is the number of annual coupons the bond would pay which is 3
coupon=face value*coupon rate=$1000*5%=$50
price=1000/(1+8%)^3+50*(1-(1+8%)^-3)/8%
price of 3-year bond=$922.69
