Answer and Explanation:

Given:

For portfolio A

Expected return of 12%

beta = 0.5

Risk premium for A = ?

For portfolio B

Expected return of 13%

beta = 0.4

Risk premium for B = ?

Risk-free rate of return = 5%

Computation:

For portfolio A

12% = 5% + (0.5 × risk premium for A)

risk premium for A = 14%

For portfolio B

13% = 5% + (0.4 × risk premium for B)

risk premium for B = 20%

short position "A"

Long position "B"

Use the following information to answer the next three questions.
nalin [4]

Answer:

The  alignment of numbers in the first part of the question is off. However, you solve this question as shown below. The correct answer is C. $1,124.

Explanation:

This is a one-time cashflow type of question where the principal amount is invested once and no other addition is made to the account. You use the future value formula to solve the result of the compounding effect at year 3.

FV formula;

FV = PV(1+r)^n

PV = 800

discount rate; r = 12% or 0.12

total duration of investment; n = 3

therefore; FV = 800(1+0.12)^3

FV = 800 * 1.404928

FV = 1123.94

To the nearest whole dollar, the amount will grow to $1,124

Westchester Corp. is considering two equally risky, mutually exclusive projects, both of which have normal cash flows. Project A
inn [45]

Answer:

d. If the WACC is 9%, Project B's NPV will be higher than Project A's.

Explanation:

The internal rate of return is the return in which the NPV is zero i.e cash inflows equal to the initial investment

While the WACC refers to the cost of capital by considering the capital structure i.e cost of equity, cost of preferred stock and cost of debt by taking their weightage

Now if the WACC is 9% so project B NPV would be higher as compared to project A as we can see that project B IRR is greater than the project A IRR

Therefore option d is correct
