a)
To discuss:
Change in market returns on expected returns.
Introduction:
Beta is an indicator of the risk tha measures the systematic risk of a risky investment by comparing the risky investment with the average risky asset in the market.
b)

Calculation of required return.
Introduction:
c)
To discuss:
Required and Expected return of portfolio and the investment decision.
Introduction:
Return: In financial context, return is seen as percentage that represents the profit in an investment.
Portfolio refers to a set of financial investments such as debentures, stocks, bonds and mutual funds owned by the investor.
d)

- Consider an investment project that has an internal rate of return of 9%, requires an initial investment in moment zero of £ 55000 and has the expected stream of cash flows (CF) for the next three years as follows: The expected cash flow for year 2 is: £23998 lita_mast O b. It is not possible to compute with given information OC. £ 28474 Clear my choice Equity beta differs from Asset beta: Year 1 2 3 master Lor 11000 ? 32000 O a. Because the existence of debt implies the consideration of the respective tax shield which benefits the equity holder. Ob.
