Answer: 7.46%
Explanation:
The CAPITAL ASSET PRICING MODEL is a very useful tool for calculating a firm's Cost of Equity.
The Formula is,
Rc = Rrf + b(Rpm)
Where,
Rc is the Cost of Equity
Rpf is the Risk risk free rate
b is beta
Rpm is the risk premium
Plugging in the digits we have,
Rc = 0.0350 + 0.88(0.045)
= 0.0746
The firm's cost of equity from retained earnings based on the CAPM is therefore 7.46%
Answer:
9.25 years
Explanation:
Price of the bond is the present value of all cash flows of the bond. These cash flows include the coupon payment and the maturity payment of the bond. Price of the bond is calculated by following formula:
According to given data
Assuming the Face value of the bond is $1,000
Coupon payment = C = $1,000 x 6.3 = $63 annually = $31.5 semiannually
Current Yield = r = 8.49% / 2 = 4.245% semiannually
Market value = $767.50
Market Value of the Bond = $31.5 x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + 4.425% )^-n ) / 4.425% ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 4.425% )^n ]
Market Value of the Bond = $31.5 x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + 4.425% )^-n ) / 4.425% ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 4.425% )^n ]
n = 18.53 / 2
n = 9.25 years
