Answer:

The firm should pay $46907.57 for the given project.

Explanation:

Given information:

Return = $15000 annually

Time = 5 years

Opportunity cost = 18%

The formula for payment is

PV=R(\frac{1}{OC}-\frac{1}{OC(1+OC)^t})

where, R is return, OC is opportunity cost, t is time in years.

Substitute R=15000, t=5 and OC=0.18 in the above formula.

PV=15000(\frac{1}{0.18}-\frac{1}{0.18(1+0.18)^5})

PV=46907.5653141

PV\approx 46907.57

Therefore the firm should pay $46907.57 for the given project.

Helga [31]

Answer:  ER(P) = ERX(WX) + ERY(WY)

                   16 = 13(1-WY)  + 9(WY)

                    16 = 13 - 13WY + 9WY

                    16 = 13 - 4WY

                   4WY = 13-16

                   4WY = -3

                     WY = -3/4

                     WY = -0.75

                     WX = 1 - WY

                     WX = 1 - (-0.75)

                     WX = 1 + 0.75

                     WX = 1.75

 The amount to be invested in stock Y = -0.75 x $106,000

                                                                    = -$79,500

The Beta of the portfolio could be calculated using the formula:

                     BP = BX(WX) + BY(WY)

                     BP = 1.14(1.75) + 0.84(-0.75)

                     BP = 1.995 - 0.63

                     BP = 1.365

Explanation: The expected return of the portfolio is equal to expected return of stock X multiplied by the weight of stock X plus the expected return of stock Y multiplied by weight of security Y. The weight of security Y is -0.75. The weight of security X is equal to 1 - weight of security Y. Thus, the weight of security X is 1.75 since the weight of security Y is negative. The amount to be invested in security Y is -0.75 x $106,000, which is equal to -$79,500

The Beta of the portfolio equals Beta of stock X multiplied by weight of stock X plus the Beta of stock Y multiplied by weight of stock Y. The weights of the two stocks have been obtained earlier. Therefore, the Beta of the portfolio is 1.365.
