Answer:

Consider the following calculations

Explanation:

a) If the weight of risky portfolio is 'y' then weight of T-bill would be (1-y).

Expected return on clients portfolio = weight of risky portfolio x return on risky portfolio + weight of T-bill x return on T-bill

or, 15% = y x 17% + (1 - y) x 7%

or, y = 0.8

weight of risky portfolio = 0.8, weight of T-bill = 0.2

b)

Security Investment Proportions

T-bill 20% (from part a)

Stock A 80% x 0.27 = 21.6%

Stock B 80% x 0.33 = 26.4%

Stock C 80% x 0.40 = 32%

Total 100%

"MMP Incorporated generated FCF in the most recently completed year of $780,000. We expect FCF to grow by 10% in year 1, 8% in y
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

The value per share of common stock today is $23.94

Explanation:

To calculate the worth of the stock today, we first need to calculate the value of firm using FCF and then calculate the value of equity by deducting the market value of debt and preferred stock from the value of firm. Then we will divide the value of equity by the number of common stock shares.

Value of firm will be calculated using the discounted cash flows model approach. The value of firm will be,

Value of firm = 780000 * (1+0.1) / (1+0.13)   +   780000 * (1+0.1) * (1+0.08) / (1+0.13)^2  +  780000 *(1+0.1)*(1+0.08)*(1+0.07) / (1+0.13)^3  +  

[ 780000 *(1+0.1) *( 1+0.08) *(1+0.07) *(1+0.06)) / (0.13 - 0.06)] / (1+0.13)^3

Value of firm = $12,577,754.16

Value of equity = $12,577,754.16  -  (2000000 + 1000000)  = $9,577,754.159

Value per share = $9,577,754.159 / 400000

Value per share = $23.944 rounded off to $23.94
