Answer:

The value of the payment today = $36,539.65

Explanation:

<em>An annuity is a series of equal payment or receipt occurring for certain number of period. </em>

<em>The payment in question is an example of an annuity .Hence the value of the payment today would be the present value of 2,700 annuity discounted at the appropriate interest rate </em>.

This is done as follows:

The Present Value of annuity = A ×  (1- (1+r)^(-n))/r

A- periodic cash flow-2,700, r- semi annual rate of interest - 7.3/2= 3.65%

n- number of period- (9×2) + 1= 19. Note that we have 19 "six months" in 9 years 6 months

PV = 2,700 × (1- (1+0.0365)^(-19))/0.0365 =36,539.650

The value of the payment today = $36,539.65

Assume that the risk-free rate is 6% and the market risk premium is 8%.
valkas [14]

Answer:

r or expected rate of return - market = 0.14 or 14%

r or expected rate of return - stock = 0.2120 or 21.20%

Explanation:

Using the CAPM, we can calculate the required/expected rate of return on a stock. This is the minimum return required by the investors to invest in a stock based on its systematic risk, the market's risk premium and the risk free rate.  

The formula for required rate of return under CAPM is,

r = rRF + Beta * rpM

Where,

  • rRF is the risk free rate
  • rpM is the market risk premium

Under CAPM, the assumption follows that the beta of the market is always equal to 1.

So, expected return on the stock market will be,

r or expected rate of return - market = 0.06 + 1 * 0.08

r or expected rate of return - market = 0.14 or 14%

The beta of the stock is given. We calculate the required rate of return on the stock to be,

r or expected rate of return - stock = 0.06 + 1.9 * 0.08

r or expected rate of return - stock = 0.2120 or 21.20%
