Answer:

20.1%

Explanation:

In capital asset prcing model (CAPM), cost of equity (or cost of retained earnings in this context) is calculated as below:

<em>Cost of equity = risk-free rate of return + beta x (market index return - risk-free rate of return)</em>

Please note that <em>(market index return - risk-free rate of return)</em> is equal to <em>market risk premium</em>

Putting all the number together, we have:

Cost of equity/retained earnings = 2.5% + 2.2 x 8% = 20.1%

<em>Note: The dividend growth rate, tax rate & stock standard deviation is not relevant in answering the question.</em>

Item 3 What do economists call GDP that uses constant, unchanging prices? constant GDP real GDP nominal GDP factual GDP
Ivenika [448]

Economists call GDP that uses constant, unchanging prices as

<u>Real GDP</u>

Explanation:

  • Real gross domestic product (real GDP for short) is a macroeconomic measure of the value of economic output adjusted for price changes . This adjustment transforms the money-value measure, nominal GDP, into an index for quantity of total output.
  • It is calculated using the prices of a selected base year. To calculate Real GDP, you must determine how much GDP has been changed by inflation since the base year, and divide out the inflation each year.
  • Real GDP  accounts for the fact that if prices change but output doesn't, nominal GDP would change.
  • The real economic growth, or real GDP growth rate, measures economic growth as it relates to the gross domestic product (GDP) from one period to another, adjusted for inflation, and expressed in real terms as opposed to nominal terms

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Interest expense for the year: 33,590.33

Explanation:

face value $ 300,000

rate 9%

time 15 years

issued at   $  201, 136

discount:  $    98, 864

amortization per year under straight-line: the discount is equally distributed for each period

98,864 / 15 = 6,590.33

<u><em>interest expense per year:</em></u>

face value x rate + amortization:

300,000 x 0.09 + 6,590.33 = <em>33,590.33</em>

Assume that both portfolios A andB are well diversified, that E(rA) =12%, and E(rB) =9%.Assume the economy has only one risk fac
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

The risk free rate (Rf) is 28,2%

Explanation:

We will substituting the portfolio expected return (Er) and the betas of the portfolio in the expected return & beta relationship, that is:

E[r] = Rf + Beta * (Risk Premium)

On doing this we get 2 equations in which the risk free rate (Rf) and the risk premium [P] are not known to use:

12% = Rf + 1 * (P - Rf)

9% = Rf + 1.2 * (P - Rf)

On solving first equation (of Portfolio A) for P(risk premium), we get:

12% = Rf + 1 * (P - Rf)

12% = Rf + P - Rf

(Rf and Rf cancels each other)

P = 12%

Now, on using the value of P in second equation (of Portfolio B), and solving for Rf (risk free rate), we get:

9% = Rf + 1.2 * (12.2% - Rf)

9% = Rf + 14.64% -1.2Rf

1.2Rf - Rf = 14.64% - 9%

0.2Rf = 5,64%

Rf = 5.64% / 0.2

Rf = 28,2%

So, the risk free rate (Rf) is 28,2%
