Consider two stocks, A and B. Stock A has an expected return of 10% and a beta of 1.2. Stock B has an expected return of 14% and
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

B; it offers an expected excess return of 1.8%

Explanation:

In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below

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

For Stock A

The expected rate of return would be

= 5% + 1.2 × (9% - 5%)

= 5% + 1.2 × 4%

= 5% + 4.8%

= 9.8%

And, the expected return is 10%

So, the excess would be

= 10% - 9.8%

= 0.2%

For Stock B

The expected rate of return would be

= 5% + 1.8 × (9% - 5%)

= 5% + 1.8 × 4%

= 5% + 7.2%

= 12.2%

And, the expected return is 14%

So, the excess would be

= 14% - 12.2%

= 1.8%

Chris has three options for settling an insurance claim. Option A will provide $1,500 a month for 6 years. Option B will pay $1,
Papessa [141]

Answer:

  • <u><em>Option B. $1,025 a month for 10 years.</em></u>

Explanation:

Calculate the present value of each option:

     \text{Monthly rate: } 6.8\%/12 = 0.068/12 = 0.005\overline 6

Formula:

        PV=C\times \bigg[\dfrac{1}{r}-\dfrac{1}{r(1+r)^t}\bigg]

Where:

  • PV is the present value of the constant monthly payments
  • r is the monthly rate
  • t is the number of moths

<u>1. Option A will provide $1,500 a month for 6 years. </u>

         PV=$\ 1,500\times \bigg[\dfrac{1}{(0.005\overline 6}-\dfrac{1}{0.005\overline 6(1+0.005\overline 6)^{(6\times12)}}\bigg]

         PV=\$ 88,479.23

<u>2. Option B will pay $1,025 a month for 10 years. </u>

         PV=$\ 1,025\times \bigg[\dfrac{1}{(0.005\overline 6}-\dfrac{1}{0.005\overline 6(1+0.005\overline 6)^{(10\times12)}}\bigg]

         PV=\$ 89,068.22

<u>3. Option C offers $85,000 as a lump sum payment today. </u>

<u></u>

  • PV = $85,000
<h2 /><h2> Conclusion:</h2>

The present value of the<em> option B, $1,025 a month for 10 years</em>, has a the greatest present value, thus since he is only concerned with the <em>financial aspects of the offier</em>, this is the one he should select.
