Summary Introduction

To determine: The betas for the stocks

Introduction: Systematic risk is also known as volatility or non- diversifiable risk. It is the risk that is assumed by everyone before investing in a market. This kind of risk is unpredictable.

Answer to Problem 9PS

The beta value for aggressive and defensive stock is 2.00 and 0.30 respectively

Explanation of Solution

Given Information: Market return, aggressive stock and the defensive stock is given

Beta measures an investment’s volatility as it correlates to market volatility. When beta value more than 1, it means the investment has more systematic risk than the market. If beta less than 1, it means less systematic risk. When beta equals to 0, the investment has same systematic risk as the market.

  AggressiveStock=2%38%5%25%=2.00

  DefensiveStock=6%12%5%25%=0.30

So, the beta value is 2.00 and 0.30 for aggressive and defensive stock respectively.

Answer to Problem 9PS

The expected rate of return for aggressive stock and for the defensive stock is 18% and 9% respectively.

Explanation of Solution

Given Information: Market return, aggressive stock and the defensive stock is given

The capital asset pricing model describes the expected return on beta based security. This model is used for determine the expected return on asset, which is based on systematic risk.

Calculation of expected rate of return (Aggressive Stock),

  E(r)=0.5×[E(r1)+E(r2)]

By substituting the value of 2% and 38%,

  E(r)=0.5×[E(r1)+E(r2)]

  =0.5×[2%+38%]=0.5×[36%]=18%

The expected rate of return (aggressive stock) is 18%

Calculation of expected rate of return (Defensive Stock),

  E(r)=0.5×[E(r1)+E(r2)]

  =0.5×[6%+12%]=0.5×[18%]=9%

The expected rate of return (Defensive stock) is 9%

Answer to Problem 9PS

The SML for the economy is shown in the graph

Explanation of Solution

Given Information: Market return, aggressive stock and the defensive stock is given

The capital asset pricing model describes the expected return on beta based security. This model is used for determine the expected return on asset, which is based on systematic risk.

  ExpectedReturn=RiskFreeRate+Beta[ExpectedMarketRiskRiskFreeRate]

  =rf+β[E(rM)rf]

  Er , the expected return

  rf , the risk free rate of interest

  β , the systematic risk

  rM , return on market portfolio

The expected rate of return of each stock,

  E(r)=0.5×[E(r1)+E(r2)]

  =0.5×[5%+25%]=0.5×[30%]=15%

Now substituting the value of Expected rate of return on market,

  E(r)=rf+β[E(rM)rf]

  =6%+β×[E(rM)rf]=6%+β×[15%6%]=6%+9%×β

So, SML is, E(r)=6%+9%×β

The SML with the market return in the graph is,

Answer to Problem 9PS

The alpha of defensive stock is 8.7% and for the aggressive stock is (-6%)

  INVESTMENTS-CONNECT PLUS ACCESS, Chapter 9, Problem 9PS , additional homework tip  2

Calculation of alpha value for defensive stock,

  E(r)=rf+β[E(rM)rf]

  =6%+0.3×[15%6%]=6%+9%×0.3=6%+2.7%=8.7%

Calculation of alpha value for aggressive stock,

  E(r)=rf+β[E(rM)rf]

  =6%+2×[15%6%]=6%+9%×2=6%+18%=24%

  a=ActualExpectedReturnRequiredReturnAsPerCAPM=18%24%=(6%)

So, the value of alpha is (-6%) for aggressive stock

Answer to Problem 9PS

8.7% is the hurdle rate for the project

Explanation of Solution

Given Information: Market return, aggressive stock and the defensive stock is given

The capital asset pricing model describes the expected return on beta based security. This model is used for determine the expected return on asset, which is based on systematic risk.The hurdle rate can be calculated by the beta value of the project. The hurdle rate is the expected rate of return for the defensive stock.

Calculate the discount rate for the project,

  E(r)=rf+β[E(rM)rf]

By substituting the value of expected rate of market and beta value,

  E(r)=rf+β[E(rM)rf]

  =6%+0.3×[15%6%]=6%+9%×(0.3)=6%+2.7%=8.7%

So, the hurdle rate is 8.7%

Moose Enterprises finds it is necessary to determine its marginal cost of capital. Moose’s current capital structure calls for 50 percent debt, 30 percent preferred stock, and 20 percent common equity. Initially, common equity will be in the form of retained earnings (Ke) and then new common stock (Kn). The costs of the various sources of financing are as follows: debt, 9.6 percent; preferred stock, 9 percent; retained earnings, 10 percent; and new common stock, 11.2 percent. a. What is the initial weighted average cost of capital? (Include debt, preferred stock, and common equity in the form of retained earnings, Ke.) b. If the firm has $18 million in retained earnings, at what size capital structure will the firm run out of retained earnings? c. What will the marginal cost of capital be immediately after that point? (Equity will remain at 20 percent of the capital structure, but will all be in the form of new common stock, Kn.) d. The 9.6 percent cost of debt referred to earlier…
