Find the required rate of return for equity investors of a firm with a f of 1.2 when the ask- free rate is 6%, the market risk premium is 4%, and the return on the market is 10%.

  1. 4.80%
  2. 6%
  3. 10%
  4. 10.80%

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The capital asset pacing model adds the risk-free rate to the product of the coefficient (a erasure of risk) and the difference between the market return and the risk-free rate. Thus, the required rate of return is 10.8% [6% + 1.2(4%)].

NPV equals $25 million minus PV of interest payments minus PV of principal. Thus, the NPV is $2.1 13 million ($25 million --[($25 million x .04 annual interest) x4.212 PV of an annuity for Syrsat6%]-- ($25 millionx747PVof$1 in5yrs. at6%]}.

Francis wants to create an endowment income of $15,500 a year for the Cancer Research Center at the Municipal Hospital. She proposes that the first payment not be made for 3 years' time. if Francis can earn a return of 6% on her investments, what amount should she invest now?

  1. $216,999.99
  2. $243,608.33
  3. $229,916.66
  4. $258,333.33

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The present value of the perpetuity will be $258.333.33 ($15,500 ÷ 0,06). This amount has to be invested by the end of 2 years so that the first payment of $15,500 will be received at the end of 3 years. The present value of this today is equal to the present value factor for 6% for 2 years multiplied by $258,333.33. The present value factor for 6% for 2 years is 0.890, so the solution is $229,916.66.
