Answer: 1.13

Explanation:

New Beta = Beta + Increase in beta per portfolio

Increase in beta as a result of purchase of new stock

= New stock beta - sold stock beta

= 1.5 - 0.5

= 0.5

Increase in bet per portfolio

= 0.5/18 stock

= 0.02778

New Beta = 1.1 + 0.02778

= 1.12778

= 1.13

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

The current stock price is $13.60

Explanation:

D1 = $0.53

D2 = $0.58

D3 = $0.73

D4 = $1.03

Growth rate, g = 3.60%

Required return, r = 10.00%

D5 = D4 * (1 + g)

D5 = $1.03 * 1.036

D5 = $1.06708

P4 = D5 / (r - g)

P4 = $1.06708 / (0.10 - 0.036)

P4 = $16.673125

P0 = $0.53/1.10 + $0.58/1.10^2 + $0.73/1.10^3 + $1.03/1.10^4 + $16.673125/1.10^4

P0 = $13.60

So, current stock price is $13.60

Depreciation Expense : Year 1     $73,000
