A stock has an average expected return of 9.7 percent for the next year. The beta of the stock is 1.34. The T-Bill rate is 5.2%
givi [52]

Answer:

3.4%

Explanation:

According to the capital asset price model: Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)

9.7 = 5.2 + 1.34(x - 5.2)

9.7 - 5.2 =  1.34(x - 5.2)

3.35 = x - 5.2

The stock price of Atlantis Corp. is $43 today. The risk-free rate of return is 10%, and Atlantis Corp. pays no dividends. A cal
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

correct option is  a. $.05

Explanation:

given data

stock price S = $43

rate of return r= 10%

exercise price K = $40

time = 6 month

worth = $5

solution

we will apply here formula for worth that is  

P = C - S + K × e^{-rt}

here C is given worth 5 and S is stock price and K is exercise price and t is time and r is rate

so put here all value in equation 1 we get

P = C - S + K × e^{-rt}

P = 5 - 43 + 40 × e^{-0.1*6/12}

P = 5 - 43 + 38.05

P = 0.05

so here correct option is  a. $.05
