Answer:

The standard deviation of the returns on the stock is 15.56%(Approx).

Explanation:

Expected Return=Respective return*Respective probability

=(20.4*0.67)+(-12.7*0.33)=9.477%

probability Return probability*(Return-Expected Return)^2

0.67          20.4 0.67*(20.4-9.477)^2=79.93899243

0.33          -12.7 0.33*(-12.7-9.477)^2=162.3003786

Total=242.239371%

Standard deviation=[Total probability*(Return-Expected Return)^2/Total probability]^(1/2)

=15.56%(Approx).

raketka [301]

Answer:

10.4%

Explanation:

The computation of expected return on a portfolio is shown below:-

Expected return = Risk Free return + 5%Beta ( Market Return - Risk Free return)

= 5% + 0.60 × (17% - 8%)

= 5% + 5.4%

= 10.4%

Therefore for computing the expected return on a portfolio with a beta of .6 we simply applied the above formula.

The market return less risk free return is known as market risk premium

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

The correct answer is $2,444.6 billion

Explanation:

FCFE= FCF+ Increase in debt- Interest (1-t)

        =  $205+$25-$22( 1-0.35)

        =$215.7

Market Value = [(215.7)1.02)]/ [11%-2%]

                      =$2,444.6

Assuming a single period growth rate of 2%,

the forecasted FCFE =$215.7(1+0.02)

                                  =$220.01 billion

Although this is not available in the options provided ,$220.01 billion is the correct answer.
