Answer:

1.763

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Beta of $40 million portfolio = 1

Risk-free rate = 4.25%

Market risk premium = 6.00%

Expected return = 13.00%

Now,

Expected return = Risk-free rate + ( Beta × Market risk premium )

13.00% = 4.25% + ( Beta × 6.00% )

or

Beta × 6.00% = 8.75%

or

Beta = 1.458

Now,

Beta of the total profile should be equal to 1.458

Thus,

Weight of $40 million portfolio = $40 million ÷ [ $40 million + $60 million]

= 0.4

Weight of $60 million portfolio = $60 million ÷ [ $40 million + $60 million]

= 0.6

therefore,

the average beta

1.458 = 0.4 × 1 + 0.6 × ( Beta of $60 million portfolio )

or

1.058 = 0.6 × ( Beta of $60 million portfolio )

or

Beta of $60 million portfolio = 1.763

Assume a company has a cost of capital that is greater than zero and has cash flows related to the changes in net working capita
Otrada [13]

Answer:

A. Decrease

Explanation:

In investment appraisal with the method of Net Present Value, the bone of contention and the central matter is the TIME VALUE OF MONEY.

In the above scenario, the initial working capital was 100% released in proportions of 40%, 40% and 20%, throughout the 3 years of the project. However, if the reverse had been the case, i.e. parting with more cash now and the requirement of working capital now becomes: Year 0 = -10,000, Year 1 = - 10,000, Year 2 = -10,000, Year 3 = +30,000; the NPV would definitely shrink because the value of 10,000 each in Years 0-2 would not be the same when it is recovered from the project in year 3. The value will be smaller and hence the NPV of the project would have decreased as a result of the time value of money.

Suppose you have a two-stock portfolio consisting of Apple and Tesla stock. The portfolio weight of Apple is 25% and the rest is
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Standard deviation = 47.69% (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Portfolio of Apple stock w1 = 25% = 0.25

Portfolio of Tesla stock w2 = 75% = 0.75

Standard deviation return Apple σ1 = 35% = 0.35

Standard deviation return Tesla σ2 = 60% = 0.60

Correlation coefficient ρ12 = 0.22

Find:

Standard deviation

Computation:

Standard deviation = √w1²σ1² + w2²σ2² + 2w1σ1w2σ2ρ12

Standard deviation = 0.4769

Standard deviation = 47.69% (Approx)
