Cooley company's stock has a beta of 1.32, the risk-free rate is 4.25%, and the market risk premium is 5.50%. what is the firm's

balu736 [363]

11.51%

The required rate of return = risk-free rate + Beta * (market risk premium)

Here, we multiply the beta of 1.32 times the market risk premium of 5.50%, then add the risk-free rate of 4.25% to get the required rate of return, or 11.51%.

A newly issued bond has a maturity of 10 years and pays a 7.5% coupon rate (with coupon payments coming once annually). The bond

nadya68 [22]

Bond

Explanation:

Bond price = B = Face value = F = $100 (Because the bond sells at par value.)

Time to maturity = n = 10 years

Number of periods in a year = p = 1 (annual coupon payments)

Coupon rate = C = 7.5% = 7.5%*100 = $7.5

Yield = r = 7.5% (since bond is selling at par hence the coupon rate = yield)

Duration and Convexity:

Duration is a used as a measure of risk because it provides the average length of time by when the bond holder will receive their payments made. Longer the duration, longer is the time to receive the payments and hence higher the risk.

Expanding the summation and solving for Convexity, we get,

Period (t) Cash Flow PV = Cash Flow / (1+r/p)^(t*p) (t^2+t)*PV
