Suppose that an investment has 0.5% chance of a loss of $10 million and a 99.5% chance of a loss of $1 million. What is the Value-at-Risk (VaR) for this investment when the confidence level is 99%?
P8–28 Security market line (SML) Assume that the risk-free rate, RF, is currently 9% and that the market return, rm, is currently 13%.
Draw the security market line (SML) on a set of “nondiversifiable risk (x-axis)–required return (y-axis)” axes.
Calculate and label the market risk premium on the axes in part
Given the previous data, calculate the required return on asset A having a beta of 0.80 and asset B having a beta of 1.30.
Draw in the betas and required returns from part cfor assets A and B on the axes in part Label the risk premium associated with each asset and discuss them.

16. Consider a firm with a market value equal 100. The firm is financed with a zero- coupon bond with a face value of 100, maturing at the end of the year. At the end of the year the value of the firm can be either 130 or 80. The firm has 10 invested in one-year T-bills earning 10%. The firm has just discovered a new project. This project requires an investment of 10 and will be worth at the end of the year, either 8 (when the firm is otherwise worth 130) or 16 (when the firm is otherwise worth 80.) If this project is taken, what will happen to the value of the stock?
