Answer:

3.5%

Explanation:

We will apply asset pricing model to calculate cost of equity (required rate of return). The capital asset pricing model is stated as below:

Cost of equity = Risk-free rate + Beta x Market risk premium

Putting all the number together, we have:                          

Cost of equity (Beale) = 5.5% + 1.8 x (9% - 5.5%) = 11.8%

Cost of equity (Foley) = 5.5% + 0.8 x (9% - 5.5%) = 8.3%

Cost of equity (Beale) - Cost of equity (Foley) = 11.8% - 8.3% = 3.5%

<em />

<em>Note: You can also do quick calculation as below:</em>

<em>Cost of equity (Beale) - Cost of equity (Foley) = (Beta of Beale - Bete of Foley) x Market risk premium = (1.8 - 0.8) x (9% - 5.5%) = 3.5%</em>

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

10.60%

Explanation:

First, we calcualte the returns and then solve for the rate like a normal compounding:

<u>returns:</u>

annual coupon payment. 1,000 face value x $ 13.68 = $ 136.80

sales price: 913.73

<u>total:</u> 136.8 x 6  + 913.73 = 820.80 + 913.73 =

<em />

<u>cost:    </u>  947.68

to  record the effective rate of return:

947.64 (1+ r_e)^6 = 1,734.5\\

\sqrt[6]{\frac{1,734.5}{947.68}} -1 = r_e

<u>effective rate of return:</u> 0.105992287 = 10.60%
