True/false True or false?
- a. All stocks in an equivalent-risk class are priced to offer the same expected
rate of return . - b. The value of a share equals the PV of future dividends per share.
a)
To discuss: Whether the statement is true or false.
Explanation of Solution
Given statement:
Mostly all the stock which have same equivalent risk are always priced to provide similar expected rate of return.
Justification:
The given statement is true all the stocks which have equivalent risk are priced to provide similar expected rate of mainly the market risk.
Hence, the statement is true.
b)
To discuss: Whether the statement is true or false.
Explanation of Solution
Given statement:
Value of a share is equal to the present value of future dividend per share
Justification:
It is true that value of a share is equal to the present value of future dividend per share
Hence, the statement is true.

- The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) says that the risk premium on a stock is equal to its beta times the market risk premium. ..... True Falsearrow_forwardUnder which of the following circumstances would you want to buy a stock? Select one: a. The HPR is greater than zero. b. A stock's holding period return is greater than the CAPM return c. A stock's CAPM return is greater than its holding period return d. The stock's price is higher than its valuearrow_forward1. Beta is positively related A. the degree of correlation between a stock's return and the market return B. the systematic risk of a stock C. risk premium required by the stock D. all of the abovearrow_forward
- A stock's internal rate of return (IRR) is the discount rate that cause the present value of future dividends and the price at which a stock is expected to be sold to equal the current price of the stock. O True O False Carrow_forwardThe dividend yield (i.e. D1/P0) is a good measure of the expected return on a common stock under which of the following circumstances? g = 0 g > 0 g < 0 g is expected to remain constant over time under no circumstancesarrow_forwardThe “market RISK premium”arrow_forward
- Consider the following stocks with equal probabilities of return: Outcome | Return (Stock A) | Return (Stock B) 1 -5% 2% 2 10% 12% 3 18% 15% Compute the expected returns of stock A and B. Compute the total risk and relative risk of stock A and B. Which stock is risky? Ignoring the probabilities, what is the total risk and relative risk of stock A and B? Which stock is risky? Round-off final answers only to two decimal places.arrow_forward3.

Attach hand-written/excel solution here.arrow_forwardc) Assume that using the Security Market Line (SML) the required rate of return (Ra) on stock A is found to be half of the required return (Rs) on stock B. The risk-free rate (R:) is one-fourth of the required return on A. Return on market portfolio is denoted by RM. Find the ratio of beta of A (Ba) to beta of B (B).arrow_forwardAstromet is financed entirely by common stock and has a beta of 1.20. The firm pays no taxes. The stock has a price-earnings multiple of 11.0 and is priced to offer a 10.9% expected return. The company decides to repurchase half the common stock and substitute an equal value of debt. Assume that the debt yields a risk-free 4.6%. Calculate the following: Required: a. The beta of the common stock after the refinancing b. The required return and risk premium on the common stock before the refinancing c. The required return and risk premium on the common stock after the refinancing d. The required return on the debt e. The required return on the company (i.e, stock and debt combined) after the refinancing If EBIT remains constant: f. What is the percentage increase in earnings per share after the refinancing? g-1. What is the new price-earnings multiple? g-2. Has anything happened to the stock price? Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below. Reg A to E Reg F to G2…arrow_forward
