Answer:
1. Using CAPM, the required return is;
Required return = risk free rate + beta * market risk premium
= 6% + 1.5 * 9%
= 19.5%
2. First find the portfolio beta which is a weighted average of the individual betas;
= (60% * 2.4) + (40% * 0.9)
= 1.8
Now use CAPM
= risk free rate + beta * (Market return - risk free rate)
= 4% + 1.8 * (13% - 4%)
= 20.2%
3.Geometric average can be calculated by;
=( ((1 + r1) * (1 + r2) * (1 + r3)) ^1/n) - 1
= (((1 + 6%) * (1 + 10%) * (1 - 6%)) ^ 1/3) - 1
= (1.09604^1/3) - 1
= 3.1%
Answer: 7.46%
Explanation:
The CAPITAL ASSET PRICING MODEL is a very useful tool for calculating a firm's Cost of Equity.
The Formula is,
Rc = Rrf + b(Rpm)
Where,
Rc is the Cost of Equity
Rpf is the Risk risk free rate
b is beta
Rpm is the risk premium
Plugging in the digits we have,
Rc = 0.0350 + 0.88(0.045)
= 0.0746
The firm's cost of equity from retained earnings based on the CAPM is therefore 7.46%
