Answer:

a) 16%

b) 2.25

c) Increase in expected market risk premium

Explanation:

Expected standard deviation of market return = 20%

measure of risk aversion ( A ) = 4

a) Determine a reasonable  expected market risk premium

= A * ( std ) ^2

= 4 * ( 20%)^2

=  16%

b) determine Value of A

market risk premium = A * ( std )^2

∴ A = 9% / ( 20% ) ^2

      = 0.09 / 0.04

      = 2.25

c) If investors become more risk tolerant the expected market risk premium will increase

Answer:

We will consider positive interest rate which is i=0.21 or i=21%

Explanation:

The formula for Future value is:

FV=PV(1+i)^n

The present value will become:

PV=FV(1+i)^{-n}

where:

n is the number of years

Since the condition is same present value,so the given data form the equation:

6000+5940(1+i)^{-1}=12000(1+i)^{-1/2}

Divide above equation by (1+i)^{-1}

6000(1+i)+5940=12000(1+i)^{1/2}

Let z=(1+i)^{1/2}\\. Above equation will become:

6000z^2+5940=12000z

Rearranging above equation:

5940-12000z+6000z^2=0

Solving the quadratic equation:

z=1.1,    z=0.9

Let z=(1+i)^{1/2}\\ will become:

z=(1+i)^{1/2}\\\\z^2=1+i

i=z^2-1

For z=1.1

i=(1.1)^2-1\\i=0.21

For z=0.9

i=(0.9)^2-1\\i=-0.19

we will consider positive interest rate which is i=0.21 or i=21%

REY [17]

Answer:

Giving the following information:

Forrester Company is considering buying new equipment that would increase monthly fixed costs from $276,000 to $544,500 and would decrease the current variable costs of $60 by $15 per unit. The selling price of $100 is not expected to change.

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 544,500/ [(100-45)/100]

Break-even point (dollars)= $990,000
