Fill the parts in the above table that are shaded in yellow. You will notice that there are nineline items.
Using the data generated in the previous question (Question 1);a) Plot the Security Market Line (SML) b) Superimpose the CAPM’s required return on the SML c) Indicate which investments will plot on, above and below the SML?d) If an investment’s expected return (mean return) does not plot on the SML, what doesit show? Identify undervalued/overvalued investments from the graph
Please answer A, B, C & D
Suppose that three stocks (A, B, and C} and two common risk factors (1 and 2) have the following relationship:
E(RA) = (1.1)A1 + (0.8)A2
E(RB) = (0.7)A1 + (0.6)A2
E(RC) = (0.3)A1 + (0.4)A2
a. If A1 = 4 percent and A2 = 2 percent, what are the prices expected next year for each of the stocks? Assume that all three stocks currently sell for $30 and will not pay a dividend in the next year.
b. Suppose that you know that next year the prices for Stocks A, B, and C will actually be $31.50, $35.00, and $30.50. Create and demonstrate a riskless, arbitrage investment to take advantage of these mispriced securities. What is the profit from your investment? You may assume that you can use the proceeds from any necessary short sale. Problems 13 and 14 refer to the data contained in Exhibit 7.23, which lists 30 monthly excess returns to two different actively managed stock portfolios (A and B) and three different common risk factors (1, 2, and 3). {Note: You may find it…
Astromet is financed entirely by common stock and has a beta of 1.20. The firm pays no taxes. The stock has a price-earnings multiple
of 11.0 and is priced to offer a 10.9% expected return. The company decides to repurchase half the common stock and substitute an
equal value of debt. Assume that the debt yields a risk-free 4.6%. Calculate the following:
Required:
a. The beta of the common stock after the refinancing
b. The required return and risk premium on the common stock before the refinancing
c. The required return and risk premium on the common stock after the refinancing
d. The required return on the debt
e. The required return on the company (i.e, stock and debt combined) after the refinancing
If EBIT remains constant:
f. What is the percentage increase in earnings per share after the refinancing?
g-1. What is the new price-earnings multiple?
g-2. Has anything happened to the stock price?
