Answer:

r = 0.235 or 23.5%

Explanation:

Using the CAPM, we can calculate the required/expected 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 * rpM

Where,

  • rRF is the risk free rate
  • rpM is the market return

r = 0.06 + 2.5 * 0.07

r = 0.235 or 23.5%

A company, which is currently operating at full capacity, has sales of $2,480, current assets of $820, current liabilities of $5
forsale [732]

Answer:

$61.60

Explanation:

Equity funding need =  Projected assets - Projected liabilities - Current equity - Projected increase in retained earnings

Equity funding need = $2,739 - $561 -  $1,980 - $136.40

Equity funding need = $61.60

<u>Workings</u>

Projected assets = (Current assets + Fixed assets) * 1.10 = 820+1,670 * 1.10 = $2,739

Projected liabilities = Current liabilities * 1.10 = 510 * 1.10 = $561

Current equity = Current assets + Fixed assets - Current liabilities = 820 + 1,670 - 510 = $1,980

Projected increase in retained earnings  = Sales*5% * 1.10 = $2,480*5% * 1.10 = 124*1.10 = $136.40

Suppose you win a small lottery and have the choice of two ways to be paid: You can accept the money in a lump sum or in a serie
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

The correct answer would be option A, The lump sum is always better.

Explanation:

If I would have to give advice to my friend who is in the same situation as i was in some time back, I would recommend him to go for the Lump sum choice. This is because of the fact that the interest rate compounded in three years payment schedule will result in the less value of what I am getting today. Accepting the lump sum value in contrast with accepting the yearly payments on 9% interest rate would be better off because it has more value at present.
