Answer:
The correct answer is True.
Explanation:
Most workers do not spend 100% of their time in the office doing what they are supposed to do. In fact, workers spend around 10% of their workday surfing the internet, sending emails to friends or shopping online. This activity at work is called "cyberloafing."
But it turns out that these behaviors may not be a sign that a worker is lazy or simply wastes time. New research by Stephanie Andel, a professor of psychology at the University of Indiana (USA), suggests that cyberloafing can help workers cope with an exceptionally stressful work environment.
Answer:
a) The required rate of return is 14.75%
b) The expected return on this stock is 16% which is more than its required rate of return 14.75%, thus it is underpriced.
Explanation:
a)
Using the SML equation, we can calculate the required rate of return (r) of a stock.
r = rFR + β * (rM - rFR)
r = 6% + 1.25 * (13% - 6%)
r = 0.1475 or 14.75%
b)
The SML shows the return that is required on a security based on the risk is carries. Using SML we calculate the required rate of return which is the percentage return that investors require a security to provide.
If the expected return is greater than the required rate of return which means that security is expected to provide more than is required then the security is underpriced.
The expected return on this stock is 16% which is more than its required rate of return 14.75%, thus it is underpriced.
Answer:
Yield to Maturity(YTM) = 3.47%
Explanation:
<em>The yield to maturity is the required rate of return (discount rate) that would equate the price of the bond and cash outflow expected from the bond. The yield on the bond can be determined as follows using the formula below: </em>
YTM = C + F-P/n) ÷ 1/2 (F+P)
YTM-Yield to maturity-
C- coupon
F- Face Value
P- Current Price
DATA
Coupon = coupon rate × Nominal value = 1,000 × 8%× 1/2=40(note we divide by 2 because interest is paid semi-annually)
n= 4×2 = 8 (note there 2 half months in a year)
Face Value = 1000
YM-?, C-40, Face Value - 1,000, P-103.75/100× 1000 = 1037.5
YM = (40 + (1000-1037)/8) ÷ ( 1/2× (1000 + 1037.5 ) ) =0.0347
YM = 0.0347
× 100 = 3.47%
Yield to Maturity = 3.47%
E. 22.5 percent should be the answer
Answer:
The debt to equity mix = 74.65% - 25.35%
Explanation:
The computation of the debt to equity mix is shown below:
Debt is
= Mortgages + Bond
= $18 + $35
= $53 million
And, the Equity is
= Retained earnings + Cash in hand
= $5 + $13
= $18 million
Now
Percentage of debt financing
= $53 ÷ ($53 + $18)
= 74.65%
And, percentage of equity financing is
= $18 ÷ ($53 + $18)
= 25.35%
And, finally
The debt to equity mix = 74.65% - 25.35%
