Debra is considering investing in a company's stock and is aware that the return on that investment is particularly sensitive to how the economy is performing. Her analysis suggests that four states of the economy can affect the return on the investment.Use the following table of returns and probabilities to determine the coefficient of variation for the investment. (Round answer to 5 decimal places, e.g. 0.07680.) Probability Return Boom 0.2 25.00% Good 0.4 15.00% Level 0.3 10.00% Slump 0.1 -5.00%
Anjelo Jonathan a financial analyst for Blues Industries, wishes to estimate the rate of return for two similar-risk investments, X and Y. Anjelo’s research indicates that the immediate past returns will serve as reasonable estimates of future returns. A year earlier, investment X had a market value of $20,000; investment Y had a market value of $55,000. During the year, investment X generated cash flow of $1,500 and investment Y generated cash flow of $6,800. The current market values of investments X and Y are $21,000 and $55,000, respectively. A.) Calculate the expected rate of return on investments X using the most recent year’s data. (Format: 11.11%)B.) Calculate the expected rate of return on investments Y using the most recent year’s data. (Format: 11.11%)C.) Assuming that the two investments are equally risky, which one should Anjelo recommend? (Investment X or Investment Y)
You are evaluating the potential purchase of a small business currently generating $ 42,500 of after-tax cashflow. On the basis of a review of similar risk investment opportunities, you must earn 15% rate of return on the proposed purchase. Because you are relatively uncertain about future cash flows, you decide to estimate the firm’s value using several assumptions about the growth rate of cash flows. What is the firm’s value if cash flows are expected to grow at an annual rate 12% for the first 2 years, followed by a constant rate of 9% from year 3 to infinity?
You are considering investing in a start up company. The founder asked you for $290,000 today and you expect to get $980,000 in 8 years. Given the riskiness of the investment opportunity, your cost of capital is 25%. What is the NPV of the investment opportunity? Should you undertake the investment opportunity? Calculate the IRR and use it to determine the maximum deviation allowable in the cost of capital estimate to leave the decision unchanged.
An investor is thinking about buying some shares of Health Diagnostics, Inc., at $75 a share. She expects the price of the stock to rise to $115 a share over the next three years. During that time, she also expects to receive annual dividends of $4 per share. Assuming that the investor’s expectations (about the future price of the stock and the dividends that it pays) hold up, what rate of return can the investor expect to earn on this investment? (Hint: Use either the approximate yield formula or a financial calculator to solve this problem.)
) An investor has $5,000 invested in a stock which has an estimated beta of 1.2, and another $15,000 invested in the stock of the company for which she works.

As part of their investment strategy, the Carringtons have decided to put $100,000 into stock market investments and also into purchasing precious metals. The performance of the investments depends on the state of the economy in the next year. In an expanding economy, it is expected that their stock market investment will outperform their investment in precious metals, whereas an economic recession will have precisely the opposite effect.
