Consider an asset that costs $120 today. You are going to hold it for 1 year and then sell it. Suppose that there is a 25 percen

t chance that it will be worth $100 in a year, a 25 percent chance that it will be worth $115 in a year, and a 50 percent chance that it will be worth $140 in a year. What is its average expected rate of return?
At what price would the asset have a zero rate of return?

Answer:

  1. the average expected rate of return = 3.13%
  2. the current price at which the asset would have a zero rate of return is $123.75

Explanation:

To determine the expected rate of return we must first calculate the expected future value of the asset:

$100 x 25% = $25.00

$115 x 25% = $28.75

$140 x 50% = $70.00

the expected future value = $25.00 + $28.75 + $70.00 = $123.75

the average expected return = $123.75 - $120 = $3.75

the average expected rate of return = ($3.75 / $120) x 100 = 3.13%

the current price at which the asset would have a zero rate of return is $123.75, since the average expected return = $123.75 - $123.75 = 0

Answer:

Average expected rate of return is 3.13%

The asset have a zero rate of return if at price of $120

Explanation:

Rate of return RR = \frac{Future\:Value - Initial\:Value}{Initial\:Value} \times 100

Rate of return of the first possibility:  (100-120)/120 * 100 = -16.67%

Rate of return of the second possibility:  (115-120)/120 * 100 = -4.16%

Rate of return of the third possibility:  (140-120)/120 * 100 = 16.67%

Average expected rate of return = \sum{weight_{i}RR_{i}}

= 0.25*(-16.67%) + 0.25*(-4.16%) + 0.5*16.67% = 3.13%

RR = 0 => Future Value - Initial Value = 0

The asset have a zero rate of return when future price is the same as current price ($120)

Answer:

<em>Run a recoverability test and then a fair value test.</em>

Explanation:

Business assets with a loss of value are subject to impairment tests to assess and identify the magnitude of the loss.

<em>Measuring the magnitude of the loss requires two steps:</em>

  • Performing a recoverability check is to decide whether an impairment loss occurred by determining whether the future value of the undiscounted cash flows of the asset is less than the asset's book value. If the cash flow is less than the value of the book, the loss will be assessed.
  • Measure the cost of damage by measuring the difference between the book value and the asset's market value.

Answer:

market share

Explanation:

The market share of a product or business is the portion of the total market that it controls. Market share is usually measured as a percentage of the total market's sales. To calculate market share you need to divide your product's total sales by the market's total sales.

In this case, for every $100 sold by the total coffee market in San Francisco, BruceCo sells $1.

If Wild Widgets, Inc., were an all-equity company, it would have a beta of 0.9. The company has a target debt-equity ratio of .4
Veronika [31]

Answer:

a. 6.5%

b. 13.06%

c. 10.91%

Explanation:

a.

Cost of debt of a bond is yield to maturity. Yield to maturity is the rate of return that a investor actually receives or a borrows actually pays on a bond. It is long term return or payment which is expressed in annual term.

Formula for yield to maturity is as follow

Yield to maturity = [ C + ( F - P ) / n ] / [ (F + P ) / 2 ]

By placing values in the formula

Assuming the bond face value is $1,000

Yield to maturity = [ (1000x7.2) + ( 1,000 - $1,090 ) / 20 ] / [ ( 1,000 + $1,090 ) / 2 ]

Yield to maturity = [ $72 + ( 1,000 - $1,090 ) / 20 ] / $1,045

Yield to maturity = [ $72 - $4.5 ] / $1,045

Yield to maturity = $67.5 / $1,045

Yield to maturity = 6.5%

So, the cost of Debt is 6.5%

b.

As 0.9 is the unlevered beta, We need Levered beta due to restructuring of capital.

Beta Levered = Beta Unlevered x ( 1 + ( 1 - tax rate ) x Debt / Equity)

Beta Levered = 0.9 x ( 1 + ( 1 - 0.35 ) x 0.4 )

Beta Levered = 1.134

Cost of equity can be calculated using CAPM

CAPM calculated the expected return on an equity investment based on the risk free rate, market premium and risk beta of the investment.

Formula for CAPM is as follow

Expected return = Risk free Rate + Beta ( Market premium)

As we know the Risk premium is the difference of market return and risk free rate.

Expected return = Risk free Rate + Beta ( Market Return - Risk free Rate )

Ra = Rf + β ( Rm - Rf )

Ra = 4.1% + 1.134 ( 12% - 4.1% )

Ra = 13.06%

Cost of Equity is 13.06%

c.

WACC is the average cost of capital of the firm based on the weightage of the debt and weightage of the equity multiplied to their respective costs.

According to WACC formula

WACC = ( Cost of equity x Weightage of equity )+ ( Cost of debt ( 1- t) x Weightage of debt )

Placing the values in formula

If the debt to equity 0.4  the equity value should be 1 and total capital is 1.4 ( 1 + 0.4 )

WACC = ( 13.06% x 1 / 1.4 )+ ( 6.5% ( 1- 0.35) x 0.4 / 1.4 ) = 9.71% + 1.2% = 10.91%

WACC is 10.91%
