Answer:

The answer is: The net present value of the investments

Explanation:

The net present value calculates the current monetary value of a project's future cash flows, using a discount rate. You must remember that $1 today is worth more $1 in the future.

When deciding what projects should be financed, an investor will always look for projects with a NPV ≥ 0, and if he has to decide between two projects, the he will probably choose the project with the highest NPV.

The easiest way to calculate the net present value is to use an excel spreadsheet and the NPV function:

=NPV(rate,value 1, value 2,... value n)

Beale Manufacturing Company has a beta of 1.8, and Foley Industries has a beta of 0.80. The required return on an index fund tha
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

3.5%

Explanation:

We will apply asset pricing model to calculate cost of equity (required rate of return). The capital asset pricing model is stated as below:

Cost of equity = Risk-free rate + Beta x Market risk premium

Putting all the number together, we have:                          

Cost of equity (Beale) = 5.5% + 1.8 x (9% - 5.5%) = 11.8%

Cost of equity (Foley) = 5.5% + 0.8 x (9% - 5.5%) = 8.3%

Cost of equity (Beale) - Cost of equity (Foley) = 11.8% - 8.3% = 3.5%

<em />

<em>Note: You can also do quick calculation as below:</em>

<em>Cost of equity (Beale) - Cost of equity (Foley) = (Beta of Beale - Bete of Foley) x Market risk premium = (1.8 - 0.8) x (9% - 5.5%) = 3.5%</em>
