Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Capm= RF+B(RM-RF)

Capm required return Stock A= 0.04+(0.85*0.06)=0.091=9.1%

9.1% is more than the expected 8 percent return which means that the investor should not buy this security as expected return is less than required return

9.7%  is more than the expected 9 percent return which means that the investor should not buy this security as expected return is less than required return

Capm required return Stock C=0.04+(1.2*0.06)=0.112=11.2%

11.2 percent is more than the expected 10 percent return which means that the investor should not buy this security as expected return is less than required return

Capm required return Stock D=0.04+(1.35*0.06)=0.121=12.1%

12.1% is less than the 14 percent expected return which means that the investor should buy this security as expected return is more than required return.

Capm required return Stock E=0.04+(0.5*0.06)=0.07=7%

solong [7]

Answer:

The correct solution is "$42.94".

Explanation:

The given values are:

D0 = 4

Ks = 15%

As we know,

⇒ g = (1-Div \ payout \ ratio)\times ROE

      =(1-60 \ percent)\times 13 \ percent

      =5.20 \ percent

By using the Gordon Model, we get

⇒ P0=Do\times \frac{(1+g)}{(Ks-g)}

         =4\times \frac{ (1+5.20 \ percent)}{(15 \ percent-5.20 \ percent)}

         =42.94 ($)
