Chapter 14, Problem 3P

Acort Industries owns assets that will have an 80% probability of having a market value of $50 million in one year. There is a 20% chance that the assets will be worth only $20 million. The current risk-free rate is 5%, and Acort’s assets have a cost of capital of 10%.

  1. a. If Acort is unlevered, what is the current market value of its equity?
  2. b. Suppose instead that Acort has debt with a face value of $20 million due in one year. According to MM, what is the value of Acort’s equity in this case?
  3. c. What is the expected return of Acort’s equity without leverage? What is the expected return of Acort’s equity with leverage?
  4. d. What is the lowest possible realized return of Acort’s equity with and without leverage?

In the derivation of the option pricing formula, we required that a delta-hedged position earn the risk-free rate of return. A different approach to pricing an option is to impose the condition that the actual expected return on the option must equal the equilibrium expected return.  Suppose the risk premium on the stock is 0.03, the price of the underlying stock is 111, the call option price is 4.63, and the delta of the call option is 0.4. Determine the risk premium on the option.
General Finance
Assume an investor buys a share of stock for $18 at t = 0 and at the end of the next year (t = 1) , he buys 12 shares with a unit price of $9 per share. At the end of Year 2 (t = 2) , the investor sells all shares for $40 per share. At the end of each year in the holding period, the stock paid a $5.00 per share dividend. What is the annual time-weighted rate of return?
