Risk free rate is taken to be 4.69% while the market risk premium is 5.01%.

Midland’s choice of market risk premium of 5% does appear to be an appropriate selection in this instance. From exhibit 6, we found that this EMRP is lower than the historical data of U.S. stock returns minus Treasury bond yields and is higher than the market risk premium from the survey results. So we recommend that the risk premium rate can be narrowed between 4.8% to 5.6%. 4.8% is the lowest of higher EMRP while 5.6% is the highest of the lower EMRP. In a word, our team think that 5% is a reasonable market risk premium.

Looking back over the past ten years and most especially the past three years for investment returns and economic possibilities, there seems to be more growth in the past 24 months than what we have seen in over a decade. The rapidly changing international economic climate and the current government struggles with tax based polices and the continued climbing US

“Statistics, however, can only partially give an account of the extraordinary hardships that millions of United States citizens endured” (Hardman). It was not uncommon to see once wealthy individuals trying to sell common goods on the sides of the street in order to keep some semblance of their previous lifestyle. And those less fortunate than the so-called wealthy had to suffer through a wave of hunger and poverty like none other before it. Having society dropped to its knees, the aftermath of the stock market crash brought upon massive amounts of unemployed citizens due to people’s inability to sustain their businesses financially. This sudden growth in population of unemployed people led to industrial processes dissolving in

They also used monetary policy to support President Ford’s stimulus package strategy, efforts to stimulate the economy. Nominal interest rates fell at a good rate in 1974, causing the recovery to be well under way by when it began to rise again in

Writing was very important to the Ancient Egyptians. It was their way of keeping track of history. For example, they wrote down important documents that they may use later in their life. They wrote down ideas that they later passed on to the next generation. But, they did not use the American alphabet. They used a system containing pictures that made various sounds. But how did scientist understand this language? It was all because of the discovery of the Rosetta Stone.

The Rosetta stone was the key to the decipherment of the Egyptian hieroglyphs. The Rosetta stone was used to understand Egyptian hieroglyphics, and is what has allowed us to learn and discover more about Egyptian history. The historic discovery of the Rosetta stone is a bounteous history. Its history is fill with French and British rivalries, historical events, a decree to the ruler at the time, information on what languages were used, and discovery of ancient Egyptian. Without the Rosetta stone we would know nothing of the ancient Egyptians today (Mystery of the Rosetta stone).

The risk premium is equal to the difference between the risk-free rate and the expected market return. The case study provides two historical equity risk premiums; the geometric and arithmetic mean. The conventional wisdom is that the geometric mean is considered a better estimate for valuation over long periods, while the arithmetic mean a better estimate for valuation over shorter periods. To coincide with the choice of the 20yr yield on U.S. Treasuries, the geometric mean was therefore chosen for this analysis i.e. (Rm-Rf) = 5.9%

(1) According to the case, global IPO activity during the first quarter of 2012 fell to $14.3 billion, which was dramatically down from $46.6 billion during the first quarter of 2011. In addition, we can see in Exhibit 5 that IPO activity in US have dropped sharply since the second quarter of 2011. Number of deals dropped from 383 in the second quarter of 2011 to 157 in the first quarter of 2012.

per our assumptions, our equity risk premium4 is 6.5%. Our Risk Free rate (Rf) is
