Answer:

The required rate of return on new portfolio is 8.83%. So, option a is the correct answer.

Explanation:

To use the CAPM approach to calculate the new required rate of return, we first need to determine the beta for the new portfolio.

Portfolio beta is the weighted average of the individual stock betas that form up the portfolio. The weightage is assigned based on the investment in the stocks as a proportion of the total investment.

Total investment in new portfolio = 10 + 5 = 15 million

New portfolio beta = 10/15 * 1.05 + 5/15 * 0.65  

New portfolio beta = 0.9167

We need to calculate the market risk premium, using the old required rate of return, to use in CAPM.

r = rRF + Beta * rpM

0.095 = 0.042 + 1.05 * rpM

0.095 -0.042 = 1.05rpM

(0.053) / 1.05 = rpM

rpM = 0.05047 or 5.047% rounded off to 5.05%

The new required rate of return using CAPM,

r = 0.042 + 0.9167 * 0.0505

r = 0.08829 or 8.829% rounded off to 8.83%

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Not enough information

Explanation:

from this question, this mayor has only given us the estimated proportion of the rate of unemployment  for these months. In order to know if it is significant or not, we have to carry out other tests such as the hypothesis testing for the population proportion. But here we do not have any sample data or population data with which we can use to test this significance. The sample size is unknown so we cannot proceed to test if the claim is significant or not.

The risk-free rate is 2.2 percent and the market expected return is 11.9 percent. What is the expected return of a stock that ha
zepelin [54]

Answer:

the expected return of a stock is 10.542%

Explanation:

The computation of the expected return on a stock is shown below:

Expected return on stock is

= Risk free rate + beta × (market rate of return - risk free rate)

= 2.2% + 0.86 × (11.9% - 2.2%)

= 2.2% + 0.86 × 9.7%

= 2.2% + 8.342

= 10.542%

hence, the expected return of a stock is 10.542%

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come

And, the same is to be considered
