Answer:
Explanation:
The cost of equity can be estimated using two (2) different models:
- <em>The Dividend Valuation Model</em>
- <em>The capital asset pricing model (CAPM)</em>
<em>The Dividend Valuation Model(DVM) is a technique used to value the worth of an asset. According to this model, the value of an asset is the sum of the present values of the future cash flows would that arise from the asset discounted at the required rate of return. </em>
The model is stated below as follows
P = D(1+g)/ke-g)
<em>The capital asset pricing model (CAPM): relates the price of a share to the market risk or systematic risk. The systematic risk is that which affects all the all the economic agents, e.g inflation, interest rate e.t.c
</em>
<em>This model is considered superior to DVM. Hence, we will use the CAPM</em>
Using the CAPM , the expected return on a asset is given as follows:
E(r)= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)
E(r) =? , Rf- 2.86%, Rm-Rf - 7.00 β- 1.23
E(r) = 2.86% + 1.23× 7%
= 2.86% + 8.61%
= 11.47

Cost of equity= 11.47

Answer:
B;A
Explanation:
You have the following data on three stocks: Stock Standard Deviation Beta A 20% 1.59 B 30% 1.71 C 25% 1.29 If you are a strict risk minimizer, you would choose Stock B if it is to be held in isolation and Stock A if it is to be held as part of a well-diversified portfolio.
Answer:
d. even if Ichiro was only slightly at fault.
Explanation:
If Ichiro is suing Heather for negligence, but he himself is found to have negiglent as well, his possibilities of winning the case are less even if he was only slightly at fault.
This is because the fact that he was negligent as well reduces his condition of victim, and makes him an active participant in the accident. In other words, if Ichiro is found negligent, it means that the accident and his subsequent injuries were also his fault.
