Chapter 17, Problem 14PS
MM proposition 2 Look back to Section 17-1. Suppose that Ms. Macbeth’s investment bankers have informed her that since the new issue of debt is risky, debtholders will demand a return of 12.5%, which is 2.5% above the risk-free interest rate.
- a. What are rA and rE?
- b. Suppose that the beta of the unlevered stock was .6. What will βA, βE, and βD be after the change to the capital structure?

Round your answer to 4 decimal points. B). If these two securities are correctly priced, find the market risk premium (using the findings of Requirement-A). Round your answer to 4 decimal points. C). If the current market data shows that the risk-free rate is 3.52 percent, are these securities fairly priced? Comment on your answer. Round your answers to 4 decimal points. D). Calculate the expected return and beta of an equally weighted portfolio of these two securities. Round your answers to 3 decimal points.arrow_forwardQuestion 2: Assume that the risk-free rate, RF, is currently 8%, the market return, RM, is 12%, and asset A has a beta, of 1.10. (could be done on word document or excel). Draw the security market line (SML) Use the CAPM to calculate the required return, on asset A. Assume that as a result of recent economic events, inflationary expectations have declined by 3%, lowering RF and RM to 5% and 9%, respectively. Draw the new SML on the axes in part a, and calculate and show the new required return for asset A. Step 1 Security market line (SML) is a graphical representation of how the approach of the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) operates. SML represents the combination of risk-free return, market return, and beta to depict the expected return of the security. CAPM is a financial approach that helps to determine the expected return of security by creating a relationship between the systematic risk associated with the security and returns of assets. Expected return on a stock is the…arrow_forwardQuestion 2: Assume that the risk-free rate, RF, is currently 8%, the market return, RM, is 12%, and asset A has a beta, of 1.10.

Ignoring the shift in part c, draw the new SML on the same set of axes that you used before, and calculate and show the new required return for asset A. From the previous changes, what conclusions can be drawn about the impact of (1) decreased inflationary expectations and (2) increased risk aversion on the required returns of risky assets?arrow_forward
