Mikkelson Corporation's stock had a required return of 12.50% last year, when the risk-free rate was 3% and the market risk prem

ium was 4.75%.
Then an increase in investor risk aversion caused the market risk premium to rise by 2%. The risk-free rate and the firm's beta remain unchanged.

(Hint: First calculate the beta, then find the required return.) Do not round your intermediate calculations.

a. 16.50%

Answer:

a. 16.50%

Explanation:

Find the beta as of last year using CAPM;

CAPM ; r = risk free + beta(Market risk premium)

0.125 = 0.03 + beta(0.0475)

Subtract 0.03 from both sides;

0.125-0.03 = 0.0475beta

0.095 = 0.0475beta

Divide both sides by 0.0475;

0.095/0.0475 = beta

beta = 2

Next, use CAPM again to find the new required return with a market risk premium is 4.75%+ 2% = 6.75%

r =  0.03 + 2(0.0675)

r = 0.03 + 0.135

r = 0.165 or 16.5%

Therefore, the new required return is 16.5%

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Data Quality Principle

Explanation:

Collected data is said to be relevant if it is a true representation of real world facts. If it is not then conclusions drawn from it will be incorrect.

Data should be complete, consistent, have integrity, and relevant for a specific use.

For example in marketing, a company uses names and contact information to promote their goods and services. The data needs to be correct and updated for it to be useful. Assume a customer has changed his address and phone number, and these were not updated. It will be difficult for the company to conduct business with him.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

After sales figures increase for several months, economic data indicates that retailers are hiring new workers to satisfy increased demand.

All of the other options would show concerning economic signs, not signs of recovery. Recovery happens when there is an upturn in the economy, more hiring and better sales.
