Answer:
b. 3.70 percent
Explanation:
Expected rate of return of a stock, given probabilities, is calculated by summing up the product of probability of each state occurring by the expected return of the stock should that happen.
Expected rate of return = SUM (probability *return)
Boom;(probability* return) = (0.15* 0.10) = 0.015 or 1.5%
Normal ;(probability* return) = (0.70* 0.04) = 0.028 or 2.8%
Recession ; (probability* return) = (0.15* -0.04) = -0.006 or -0.6%
Next, sum up the expected return for each state of the economy to find the expected rate of return on this stock;
= 1.5% + 2.8% -0.6%
= 3.7%
Therefore, the correct answer is choice B.
It is given that Joseph purchased 100 shares of ABCD Growth Fund for a price of $10.00 per share with a total investment of $1,000. At the end of the year he sold his investment for $11.20 per share. Find the total capital gain.
To get the capital gain, compute the total price in which Joseph sold his investment.
$11.20 x 100 = $1,120
Subtract the answer to the total price bought by Joseph
$1,120 - $1,000 = $120
The total capital gain is $120
Answer:
Option (C) is correct.
Explanation:
We have to use MM proposition that cost of equity will change itself in such a manner so that it can take care of its debt.
Cost of equity:
= WACC of all equity firm + (WACC of all equity - Cost of debt ) × (Debt -to-equity ratio)
At the beginning, when there was no debt,
WACC = cost of equity = 12 %
Levered cost of equity:
= 12% + ( 12% - 6%) × 0.5
= 15%
Therefore, Rearden's levered cost of equity would be closest to 15%.
