Answer:
Holding period return = 14.49%, Standard Deviation = 11.08 approx
Explanation:
Eco Scenario Dividend Stock Price HPR Prob Expected HPR
Boom 3 60 26 0.33 8.58
Normal 1.2 58 18.4 0.33 6.072
Recession 0.75 49 (0.5) 0.33 <u> (0.165)</u>
Expected HPR 14.49%
<u>Calculation Of Standard Deviation</u>
(A) (B) (A) - (B)
Given return Exp return d p 
60 50 3 26 14.49 11.51 0.33 43.718
58 50 1.2 18.4 14.49 3.91 0.33 5.045
49 50 0.75 (0.5) 14.49 14.99 0.33 <u> 74.15</u>
Total = 122.91
wherein, d = deviation
p = probability
Standard Deviation = 
= 
= 11.08
<u></u>
<u>Working Note</u>:
Holding period return = 
Boom = 
= 26%
Similarly, for normal = 
= 18.4%
Recession = 
= (0.5)%
figure in bracket indicates negative return
Answer:
True
Explanation:
According to Thomas Duening and Robert Hisrich book "Technology Entrepreneurship: Taking Innovation to the Marketplace", the direct purchase has some problems: long-term capital gain to the seller and double taxation. The bootstrap purchase eliminates those problems: the acquiring company can acquire a small amount of the firm, 20 or 30% in cash and the remaining with a long-term note.
Answer:
The calculations are shown below:
Explanation:
The calculations are shown below:
a. The expected rate of return is
Return = Risk free return + Beta × (Market return - risk free return)
= 5% + 1.9 × (11.20% - 5%)
= 5% + 11.78%
= 16.78%
b. Now the alpha is
Alpha = Actual rate of return - Expected rate of return
= 9.2% - 16.78%
= - 7.58%
c. No , the CAPM is not valid as the expected rate of return is more than the actual rate of return
