The payoffs of an investment are dependent on the state of the economy. The economy can have two states, recession or growth, with equal probability. If the payoff in the event of growth is $140 and in the event of recession is $80, what is the expected payoff for the investment? a.$100 b.$130 c.$120 d.$110
Consider an economy with three states which occur with probability (0.2, 0.2, 0.6). Suppose a firm has a project which generates the state dependent cash flows (100, 240, 220) at t=1. The investment costs are 170 at t=0. The firm has 170 at t=0. The market portfolio generates the payoff (200, 230, 260) and has an expected return of 10%. The risk free rate is 2%. Suppose the CAPM holds. (a) What is the beta of this project? (b) What is the net present value of the project? Explain whether the firm should conduct the project.
