Graph on security market line.
Introduction:
The security market line (SML) is a line, which shows the relationship between the risk, which is measured by beta and the required rate of return for the individual securities.
c)
To discuss:
Beta.
Introduction:
Beta is an indicator of the risk tha measures the systematic risk of a risky investment by comparing the risky investment with the average risky asset in the market. Thus it measures the non diversifiable risk.
d)
To discuss:
Calculation of the new required rate of return attributed to increased risk aversion.
Introduction:
The security market line (SML) is a line, which shows the relationship between the risk, which is measured by beta and the required rate of return for the individual securities.
Capital asset pricing model or CAPM establishes the relationship between the projected return for assets and systematic risk on the stocks.
e)
To discuss:
Impact of the changes on the required rate of return.

- Start with the partial model in the file Ch10 P23 Build a Model.xlsx on the textbooks Web site. Gardial Fisheries is considering two mutually exclusive investments. The projects expected net cash flows are as follows: a. If each projects cost of capital is 12%, which project should be selected? If the cost of capital is 18%, what project is the proper choice? b. Construct NPV profiles for Projects A and B. c. What is each projects IRR? d. What is the crossover rate, and what is its significance? e. What is each projects MIRR at a cost of capital of 12%? At r = 18%? (Hint: Consider Period 7 as the end of Project Bs life.) f. What is the regular payback period for these two projects? g. At a cost of capital of 12%, what is the discounted payback period for these two projects? h. What is the profitability index for each project if the cost of capital is 12%?arrow_forwardThe Ajax Company uses a portfolio approach to manage their research and development (RD) projects. Ajax wants to keep a mix of projects to balance the expected return and risk profiles of their RD activities. Consider a situation in which Ajax has six RD projects as characterized in the table. Each project is given an expected rate of return and a risk assessment, which is a value between 1 and 10, where 1 is the least risky and 10 is the most risky. Ajax would like to visualize their current RD projects to keep track of the overall risk and return of their RD portfolio. a. Create a bubble chart in which the expected rate of return is along the horizontal axis, the risk estimate is on the vertical axis, and the size of the bubbles represents the amount of capital invested. Format this chart for best presentation by adding axis labels and labeling each bubble with the project number. b. The efficient frontier of RD projects represents the set of projects that have the highest expected rate of return for a given level of risk. In other words, any project that has a smaller expected rate of return for an equivalent, or higher, risk estimate cannot be on the efficient frontier. From the bubble chart in part a, which projects appear to be located on the efficient frontier?arrow_forwardSNA company management is considering two competing investment Projects A and B.

Relevant information is presented in the following table ITEM RATE OF RETURN BETA Risk-free asset 9% 0.0 Market portfolio 14% 1.0 Project A - 1.5 Project B - 0.75 Project C - 2.00 Project D - 0.0 Project E - -0.50 Calculate (1) the required rate of return and (2) the risk premium for each project, given its level of nondiversifiable risk. Use your findings in part a to draw the security market line (required rate of return relative to nondiversifiable risk) Discuss the relative nondiversifiable risk of projects A through E. Assume that recent economic events have caused investors to become less risk-averse, causing the market return to decline to 12%. Calculate the new required returns fcor assets A through E and draw the new security market line on the same graph you drew for b. Compare your findings…arrow_forward
- You are a financial analyst for the Brittle Company. The director of capital budgeting has asked you to analyze two proposed capital investments: Projects X and Y. Each project has a cost of $10,000, and the cost of capital for each is 12%. The projects' expected net cash flows are shown in the table below. Use the Homework Student Workbook to calculate each project's net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), modified internal rate of return (MIRR), and profitability index (PI). NPVx = NPVy = IRRx = IRRy = TVx = TVy = MIRRx = MIRRy = PVx = PVy = PIx = PIy = 2.
