Answer:
C. 7.81%
Explanation:
Stock A and Stock B expected Return shall be calculated using the following formula:
Stock A/B expected [email protected]*Return at [email protected]*Return at [email protected]*Return at Recession.
Stock A return=0.21*18.9%+0.74*15.8%+0.05*-24.6%
=14.43%
Stock B return=0.21*9.7%+0.74*7.6%+0.05*4.2%
=7.87%
Market risk premium=(Stock A Return- Stock B return)/0.84
Market risk premium=(14.43%-7.87%)/0.84=7.81%
So Based on the above explanation, the answer shall be C. 7.81%
Answer: 6.40%
Explanation:
Use Excel to calculate this by the formula;
= RATE(Nper,Pmt,-Pv,Fv)
Nper is number of periods = 20 * 2 = 40 semi annual periods
Pmt is the payment = $6%/2 * 1,000 = $30
Pv is the present value = $955
Fv is future value or face value = $1,000
= RATE (40,60,-955,1000)
= 3.20% * 2 (because this is a semi annual rate)
= 6.40%
Answer:
