Answer:

hope this helps

Assume that you hold a well-diversified portfolio that has an expected return of 11.0% and a beta of 1.20. You are in the process of buying 1,000 shares of Alpha Corp at $10 a share and adding it to your portfolio. Alpha has an expected return of 21.5% and a beta of 1.70. The total value of your current portfolio is $90,000. What will the expected return and beta on the portfolio be after the purchase of the Alpha stock? Do not round your intermediate calculations.

Old portfolio return

11.0%

Old portfolio beta

1.20

New stock return

21.5%

New stock beta

1.70

% of portfolio in new stock = $ in New / ($ in old + $ in new) = $10,000/$100,000=

10%

New expected portfolio return = rp = 0.1 × 21.5% + 0.9 × 11% =

12.05%​

New expected portfolio beta = bp = 0.1 × 1.70 + 0.9 × 1.20 =

1.25​

ankoles [38]

Answer:

The payback period is more than 5 years

Explanation:

Net present value is the Net value of all cash inflows and outflows in present value term. All the cash flows are discounted using a required rate of return.

Year  Cash flow    PV factor   Present Value

0       ($490,000)       1              ($490,000)

1         $40,000       0.909         $36,360

2        $10,000        0.826         $8,260

3        $120,000      0.751          $90,120

4        $90,000       0.683         $61,470

5        $180,000      0.621        <u> $111,780 </u>

Net Present Value                   ($182,010)

NPV of this Investment is negative so, it is not acceptable.  

Payback period

Total Net cash inflow of the investment is $440,000 and Initial investment is $490,000. This investment will take more than 5 years to payback the initial investment.
