Answer:

The correct answer is option (A).

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:

First, we will calculate the Market risk premium, then

Market risk premium = (Required return - Risk free rate ) ÷ beta

= ( 9.50% - 4.20%) ÷ 1.05 = 5.048%

So, now Required rate of return for new portfolio = Risk free rate + Beta of new portfolio × Market premium risk

Where, Beta of new portfolio = (10 ÷ 18.5) × 1.05 + (8.5 ÷ 18.5) × 0.65

= 0.5676 + 0.2986

= 0.8662

By putting the value, we get

Required rate of return = 4.20% + 0.8662 × 5.048%

= 8.57%

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

Straight line method rate = 1/ Number of years * 100  = 1/25*100 = 4%

Double declining balance depreciation = 2*Straight line method rate*Book value

First Year depreciation = 8%*$960,000

First Year depreciation = $76,800

Second year depreciation = 8% * (Book Value as on 1st year - First Year depreciation)

Second year depreciation = 8%*($960,000-$76,800)

Second year depreciation = 8%*$883,200

Second year depreciation = $70,656
