Answer:

(a) 12.75%

Explanation:

Given that,

Beta = 1.5

Risk-free rate = 4.5 percent

Expected return on market portfolio = 10 percent

Here, we are using CAPM:

(a) Expected rate of return for Acer common​ stock:

= Risk free rate + beta (Expected return on market Portfolio - Risk free rate)

= 4.5% + [1.5 (10% - 4.5%)]

= 0.045 + (1.5 × 0.055)

= 0.045 + 0.0825

= 0.1275 or 12.75%

(b) This rate is known as the fair rate which compensates the holder or investor for assuming the risk associated with it and for the time value of money.

Paying for a WiFi Network. Consider a small town with 1,000 households. The town could install a wireless WiFi network that woul
lesantik [10]

Answer:

a.The efficiency of the WiFi system will depend upon the usage and the speed of internet provided by the ISP (Internet Service Provider). Keeping in mind that the town have 1,000 households the network to choose will need to be fast and reliable also each household should be allowed to download a certain amount of DATA via internet so that the each household can get benefit from the WiFi System.

b. If each household is willing to pay $50 per year the contribution received will be $50×1,000 = $50,000. So the cost of WiFi system will be recovered.

c. If the town keeps tracks of the contributions and ask the household to contribute at least $20 per year so yes the total cost of WiFi system will be recovered. $20× 1,000= $20,000

The current price of a non-dividend-paying stock is $40. Over the next year it is expected to rise to $42 or fall to $37. An inv
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

D. $0.93

Explanation:

Upmove (U) = High price/current price

                    = 42/40

                    = 1.05

Down move (D) = Low price/current price

                          = 37/40

                          = 0.925

Risk neutral probability for up move

q = (e^(risk free rate*time)-D)/(U-D)

  = (e^(0.02*1)-0.925)/(1.05-0.925)

  = 0.76161

Put option payoff at high price (payoff H)

= Max(Strike price-High price,0)

= Max(41-42,0)

= Max(-1,0)

= 0

Put option payoff at low price (Payoff L)

= Max(Strike price-low price,0)

= Max(41-37,0)

= Max(4,0)

= 4

Price of Put option = e^(-r*t)*(q*Payoff H+(1-q)*Payoff L)

                               = e^(-0.02*1)*(0.761611*0+(1-0.761611)*4)

                               = 0.93

Therefore, The  value of each option using a one-period binomial model is 0.93
