Answer:
1. The riskier stock is the one with the higher beta which is Handy Ltd.
Use CAPM to calculate the required return on both stocks. The formula is:
Required return = Risk free rate + beta * (market return - risk free rate)
Gans Ltd Stock Handy Ltd Stock
= 4% + 0.9 * ( 10% - 4%) = 4% + 1.8 * (10% - 4%)
= 9.4% = 14.8%
Difference = 14.8 - 9.4
= 5.4%
2. a. Expected return
Expected return is a weighted average of the returns given the probability of the different state of economies.
= (0.25 * 18%) + (0.4 * 5%) + (0.35 * -2%)
= 0.045 + 0.02 - 0.007
= 5.8%
b. Required return
Using CAPM like in question 1:
Required return = Risk free rate + beta * (market return - risk free rate)
= 4% + 1.2 * ( 10% - 4%)
= 11.2%
c. The asset <u>should not be purchased</u> because its expected return is lower than its required return. This means that the stock is not providing enough return for the risk incurred.
Answer: -13.35%
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the annual rate of return on this painting will be calculated thus:
Sales price of painting = $1,080,000
Cost price of painting = $1,660,000
The sales Price formula is given as
= Cost price × (1 +r)³
1080000 = 1660000 × (1+r)³
1,080,000/1,660,000 = (1+r)³
0.65 = (1 + r)³
Annual rate of return r will now be:
= 0.6506^⅓ - 1
= -13.35%

Answer:
b. Increase by $17,000
Explanation:
For computing the change in the operating income, first we have to determine the cost by make and buy options
Make options:
= Variable cost + fixed cost
= $70 + $60
= $130
Buy options:
= Outside supplier cost + fixed cost × remaining percentage
= $77 + $60 × 60%
= $77 + $36
= $113
So, the difference of cost would be
= $130 - $113
= $17
And, the operating income would be
= Number of units make in each year × cost difference
= 1,000 units × $17
= $17,000
