Explanation:
The portfolio weight of an asset is the total investment in that asset divided by the total portfolio value. First, we will find the portfolio value, which is:
Total value = 122($32) + 102($22) = $6,148
The portfolio weight for each stock is:
WeightA = 122($32) / $6,148 = .6350
WeightB = 102($22) / $6,148 = .3650
Answer:
WACC = 0.16637 OR 16.637%
Explanation:
WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure which can comprise of debt, preferred stock and common equity. The WACC for a firm with only debt and common equity can be calculated as follows,
WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate) + wE * rE
Where,
- w represents the weight of each component based on market value in the capital structure
- r represents the cost of each component
- D and E represents debt and equity respectively
To calculate WACC, we first need to calculate the Market value an cost of equity.
The market value of equity = 30 million shares * $40 per share
MV of equity = $1200 million
The cost of equity can be found using the formula for Price today (P0) under constant growth model of DDM.
P0 = D1 / (r - g)
40 = 4 / (r - 0.07)
40 * (r - 0.07) = 4
40r - 2.8 = 4
40r = 4+2.8
r = 6.8 / 40
r = 0.17 or 17%
MV of debt = 40 million * 96.5% => $38.6 million
Total MV of capital structure = 38.6 + 1200 = 1238.6 million
WACC = 38.6/1238.6 * 0.08 * (1-0.33) + 1200/1238.6 * 0.17
WACC = 0.16637 OR 16.637%
Answer: The correct answer is "D. They earn identical rewards per unit of systematic risk.".
Explanation: If you are comparing 3 values and by calculating, find that they all have the same Treynor ratio means that they earn identical rewards per unit of systematic risk.
Answer: b. An investor will be able to sell these shares for a higher price and make a profit.
Explanation:
Capital gains are a way to earn a return from owning stock in a company. They involve buying stock at a certain price and then selling the stock when the price increases. The difference between the selling and the buying prices is your capital gain.
This is the benefit to the investor here. If they buy a stock that grows with the company. They will be able to sell at a higher price eventually such that they will make a capital gain.
