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%

A company's weighted average cost of capital:_______.
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The correct answer is D. Is the return investors require on the total assets of the firm.

Explanation:

The Weighted Average Capital Cost (WACC) is a financial measure, which has the purpose of encompassing in a single figure expressed in percentage terms, the cost of the different sources of financing that a company will use to fund a specific project.

To calculate the WACC, it is necessary to know the amounts, interest rates and tax effects of each of the selected sources of financing, so it is worth taking the time to analyze different combinations of these sources and take the one that provides the lower figure .

Comparatively, without going into the detail of the project evaluation, "the WACC must be less than the profitability of the project to be funded" or expressed in another order, "the project performance must be greater than the WACC."
