Answer:

1.

Portfolio Beta = 1.225 rounded off to 1.23

Option e is the correct answer.

2.

r = 0.13338 or 13.338% rounded off to 13.34%

Explanation:

1.

The portfolio beta is a function of the weighted average of the individual stocks' betas that form up the portfolio. To calculate the beta of a portfolio, we use the following formula,

Portfolio Beta = wA * Beta of A  +  wB * Beta of B  + ... + wN * Beta of N

Where,

w is the weight of each stock

Portfolio Beta = 0.21 * 0.66  +  0.34 * 1.21  +  0.45 * 1.5

Portfolio Beta = 1.225 rounded off to 1.23

2.

Using the CAPM, we can calculate the required 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 * (rM - rRF)

Where,

rRF is the risk free rate

rM is the market return

r = 0.037  +  1.22 * (0.116 - 0.037)

r = 0.13338 or 13.338% rounded off to 13.34%

Two incinerators are being considered by a waste management company. Design A has an initial cost of $2,500,000, has annual oper
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

<u>Desing A:   </u>23,024,370‬

<u>Desing B:   </u>22,520,274.6

It should purchase desing B as the capitalized cost is lower.

Explanation:

We consider annuity for the overhauls and then, perpetuity to consider this incinerators will last indefinitely.

maintenance cost: 800,000 / 0.05 = 16,000,000

<u>Overhaul: </u>

The company will need to fund 1,250,000 every 5 years. We need to determinate the annuity to obtain this future value:

FV \div \frac{(1+r)^{time} -1}{rate} = C\\

PV 1,250,000

time 5

rate 0.05

1250000 \div \frac{(1+0.05)^{5} -1}{0.05} = C\\

C  $  $ 226,218.498

<u>Then at perpetuity:</u>

$ 226,218.498  / 0.05 = 4,524,370

<u>Desing A capitalized cost:</u>

2,500,000 + 16,000,000 + 4,524,370 = 23,024,370‬

We do the same for Desing B:

investment: 5,750,000

maintenance: 600,000 / 0.05 = 12,000,000

overhaul:

3000000 \div \frac{1-(1+0.05)^{-10} }{0.05} = C\\

C  $ 238,513.725

238,513.73/0.05 =  4,770,274.6

Capitalized cost: 5,750,000 + 12,000,000 + 4,770,274.6 = 22,520,274.6‬

Assume that the economy has three types of people. 20% are fad followers, 75% are passive investors and 5% are informed traders.
mojhsa [17]

Answer: a. 11.5%

Explanation:

Fad followers are those investors who follow a trend when it emerges and as such their betas will be less than that of informed traders because the informed traders would have acted first.

Using the Capital Asset Pricing Model to calculate expected return.

Er = Rf + b( Rm - Rf)

Er = Expected return

Rf = Risk Free Rate

b = Beta

Rm = Market Return.

The Expected Return for the Informed Investors is,

= 4% + 1.4 ( 10% - 4%)

= 4% + 1.4 ( 6%)

= 12.4%

With the Fad followed expected to have a lower beta and therefore a lower expected return than the Informed Investors, the only suitable option is the 11.5%.
