Suppose that the equation for the SML is Y = 0.05 + 0.07X, where Y is the average expected rate of return, 0.05 is the vertical

intercept, 0.07 is the slope, and X is the risk level as measured by beta.What is the risk free interest rate for this SML?What is the average expected rate of return at a beta of 1.5?What is the value of beta at an average expected rate of return of 7 percent?

Answer:

Risk free interest rate is 5%

Y is 15.5% at a Beta of 1.5

X is 0.29 when Y is 7%

Explanation:

Risk free interest is 0.05 which 5% as given in the equation

The average expected return is given by Y

Y=0.05+0.07X

Since Beta is the same as X, when equals 1.5,Y is calculated thus

Y=0.05+0.07(1.5)

Y=0.05+0.105

Y=0.155

Y=15.5%

The value of Beta at an average return of 7% is computed thus:

7%=0.05+0.07X

where X is the unknown

0.07=0.05+0.07X

0.07-0.05=0.07X

0.02=0.07X

X=0.02/0.07

X=0.29

The scenario  illustrates that the Beta, which is the risk of investment and the Y , the expected average return are positively correlated.

Aleksandr [31]
Problems that may occur when entering a parkway are: cars not yielding or moving over for oncoming traffic, cars not obeying the speed limit and cars not keeping up with the flow of traffic.

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The second option is the cheapest.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The first company offers free installation and equipment, but will charge you $401.00 per year forever. The second company charges $783.00 for installation, but will charge you $204.00 per year forever. Assume that payments are at the END of the year. Your personal interest rate is 5.00% per year

To calculate the present value, we need to use the formula for a perpetual annuity:

PV= Cf/i

Cf= cash flow

i= interest rate

Option 1:

PV= 401/0.05= $8,020

Option 2:

PV= 204/0.05 + 783/1.05= $4,825.71

The second option is the cheapest.
