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%

If the stock market was perfectly, efficient, which of the following would be true?
Allushta [10]

Answer: C) Stock prices would only change on unexpected news

Explanation:

If the stock market was perfectly efficient, it would mean that all known information is already reflected in the stock price. This includes both historical and current data.

For the stock price to change therefore, there would have to be unexpected news that are not already accounted for in the price and so will force it to react positively or negatively.

Answer:

the present value of the annuity = $4,523,638

Explanation:

this is an ordinary annuity:

annual payment = $9,420,713 / 20 = $471,035.65

number of periods = 19 periods

interest rate = 8%

therefore, the present value annuity factor = 9.6036

the present value of the annuity = $471,035.65 x 9.6036 = $4,523,637.97 ≈ $4,523,638

Amy​ Parker, a​ 22-year-old and newly hired marine​ biologist, is quick to admit that she does not plan to keep close tabs on ho
lakkis [162]

Answer:

Final Value= $370,481.13

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Amy's contribution, plus that of her​ employer, amounts to ​$2,150 per year starting at age 23. Amy expects this amount to increase by 3​% each year until she retires at the age of 57 ​(there will be 35 EOY​ payments). Interest rate= 5%.

<u>First, we will add the growth of the deposits to the interest rate:</u>

Interest rate= 0.03 + 0.05= 0.08

Now, to calculate the final value, we need to use the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit= 2,150

i= 0.08

n= 35

FV= {2,150*[(1.08^35)-1]}/ 0.08= $370,481.13
