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>
