Initial investment = $30,000

House price after 2 years = $195,000

Outstanding mortgage balance =$118,000

The buyer’s equity is calculated as shown below:

Buyer's equity=House price after 2 years-Outstanding mortgage balance=$198,000-$118,000=$77,000

Calculation of rate of return for initial investment:

Rate of return=(Buyer's equity-Initial investment)Initial investment×100=($77,000-$30,000)$30,000×100=47,00030,000×100=1.5667×100=156.67%

If you were to try to estimate the appropriate cost of capital for different divisions, what problems might you encounter? What are two techniques you could use to develop a rough estimate for each division’s cost of capital?
Scenario three: If a portfolio has a positive investment in every asset, can the expected return on a portfolio be greater than that of every asset in the portfolio?
