Answer:
Risk free interest rate is 5%
Y is 15.5% at a Beta of 1.5
X is 0.29 when Y is 7%
Explanation:
Risk free interest is 0.05 which 5% as given in the equation
The average expected return is given by Y
Y=0.05+0.07X
Since Beta is the same as X, when equals 1.5,Y is calculated thus
Y=0.05+0.07(1.5)
Y=0.05+0.105
Y=0.155
Y=15.5%
The value of Beta at an average return of 7% is computed thus:
7%=0.05+0.07X
where X is the unknown
0.07=0.05+0.07X
0.07-0.05=0.07X
0.02=0.07X
X=0.02/0.07
X=0.29
The scenario illustrates that the Beta, which is the risk of investment and the Y , the expected average return are positively correlated.
Answer:
The nominal interest rate which the bank will offer is of 10.24%
Explanation:
according to Irwin formula the bank will charge a nominal rate that ensures a real rate of 6% thus:
1.06*1.04-1 = 0.1024 = 10.24%
Answer:
A) $200,000 loss recognized by Jean and a basis in the land of $200,000 to Billie
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
For loss recognized, the amount would be
= Land basis - fair value of land
= $400,000 - $200,000
= $200,000
And, the basis in the land should be equal to the fair value of the land i.e $200,000
Hence, the correct option is A
By dividing the fair value from the land basis we can get the loss recognized
