I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

The stock's new expected rate of return is 14%

Explanation:

Ke=Rf+beta(Mrp-Rf)

Ke is the cost of capital is 10.20%

Rf i the risk free rate which is unknown

beta is 1.00

(Mrp-Rf) is the market risk premium at 6%

10.20%=Rf+1.0(6%)

10.20%=Rf+6.0%

Rf=10.20-6.00%

Rf=4.20%

Beta for the risky asset is 1.00*130%=1.3

New risk rate is the old rate plus inflation rate of 2.00%

new risk free=4.2%+2%=6.2%

The expected return on the new asset is computed thus:

Ke=6.2%+1.3(6%)

Ke=6.2%+7.8%

Ke=14%

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

0.67

Explanation:

Beta measures the systemic risk of a portfolio

The portfolio's beta can be determined by adding together the weighted beta of each stock in the portfolio

weighed beta of a stock = percentage of the stock in the portfolio x beta of the stock  

total number of stocks in the portfolio 400 + 290 + 700 = 1390

(400 / 1390 x 0.6) + (290 / 1390 x 1.2) + (700 / 1390 x 0.5) =

0.17 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 0.67

The Value of a Bond is tied to the Dividend rate.<br><br> True or false
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

<u>Answer:</u> False. The Value of a Bond is not related to the Dividend rate.

Bond rates are inversely related with the interest rates in the market and not dividend rates. Bonds yield interest for the investment and not dividends. Dividends are paid for shares. Dividend rates affects the share price and not Bond value in the market.
