Air Taxi, Inc has common stock with a Beta of 1.32. If the risk free rate is 2.75% percent and the expected return on the market is 10.00% percent, what is Air Taxi's cost of equity capital? Beta1 0.32 Risk-Free rate 2.75% Market return 10.00%

2.75 +(10-2.75)*1.32 = 12.32

if analyst forecast for a firm earnings growth is 7 percent and its dividend yield is 3 percent its cost of equity will be___

3 + 7 = 10%

Treasury bills yielded a nominal average return over 86 years of 3.5% verse an average inflation rate of 3.0% over the same period . This makes the real return on T-bills approximately equal to ____

3.5 - 3.0 = 0.5%

Suppose the risk-free rate is 5 percent the market rate of return is 10 percent and beta is 2 find the required rate of return using the CAPM

Your sister just deposited $6,000 into an investment account. She believes that she will earn an annual return of 8.9 percent for the next 7 years. You believe that you will only be able to earn an annual return of 8.2 percent over the same period. How much more must you deposit today in order to have the same amount as your sister in 7 years?

6000(1.089)^7 = 10897.99 6000(1.082)^7= 10416.99 10897.99 - 10416.99 = 481 To find the value of deposit today, we can find it by calculating PV of the difference. PV of th difference = FV/(1 + r)n 481/(1.082^7) = 277.05 or FV = $6,000 × 1.0897 = $10,897.99 PV = $10,897.99/1.0827 = $6,277.05 Difference = $6,277.05 − 6,000 = $277.05

An asset has an average return of 11.09 percent and a standard deviation of 21.18 percent. What range of returns should you expect to see with a 95 percent probability?

95% probability means the range is between 2 standard deviations range of return @ 95% probability = return +/- 2SD lower limits = 11.09 - (2*21.18) = -31.27% upper limits = 11.09 + (2 * 21.18) = 53.45 % range = -31.27 , 53.45 =

Kasey Corp. has a bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 5.9 percent and semiannual payments. The bond has a yield to maturity of 6.3 percent, a par value of $2,000, and matures in 16 years. What is the quoted price of the bond?

Coupon = .059*2000/2 = 59 Number of Periods = 2*16 = 32 YTM semiannually = .063/2 = .0315 Price of Bond = PV of Coupon + PV of Par Value = 59*(1-(1+.0315)^-32)/.0315 +2000/(1+.0315)^32 =1920.08 price of blindquoted bond Quoted Price = 1920.08/2000*100%= 96.004 or PV = $59{[1 − (1/1.0315^32)]/.0315} + $2,000/1.0315^32 PV = $1,920.08

There is a project with the following cash flows : Year Cash Flow 0 −$25,700 1 7,500 2 7,950 3 7,350 4 5,600 What is the payback period?

Cumulative cash flow for period 0 = -25,700 Cumulative cash flow for period 1 = -25,700 + 7500 = -18200 Cumulative cash flow for period 2 = -18200 + 7950 = -10250 Cumulative cash flow for period 3 = -10250 + 7350 = -2900 Cumulative cash flow for period 4 = -2900+ 5600 = 2700 2900 / 5,600 = 0.517857142 +3 = 3.52 years

Santa Klaus Toys just paid a dividend of $2.00 per share. The required return is 11 percent and the perpetual dividend growth rate is 2.9 percent. What price should this stock sell for five years from today?

Current Price = Expected Dividend / ( Required Return - Growth Rate) = [ Current Dividend * ( 1+ Growth Rate) ] / ( Required Return - Growth Rate) = ( $ 2.00 * 1.029) / ( 11 - 2.9) = $ 25.41 Price five years from now = Current Price * ( 1+ Growth Rate) ^ 5 = $ 25.41 * (( 1+.029) ^ 5) = $ 29.31 P = [$2.00(1 + .029)^6]/(.110 − .029) P = $29.31

Air Taxi, Inc. is considering a new 3-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $1,500,000 million dollars. The asset will be depreciated over a 3 year tax life and have no salvage value. The project is estimated to have annual cash flows of $1,210,000 with a cost of $475,000. The tax rate is 35% percent and the required rate of return is 11% percent. What is the project NPV? Asset investment $1,500,000 Estimated annual sales $1,210,000 Costs $ 475,000 Tax rate 35% *Depreciation straight-line to zero over tax life 3 Required return 11%

Depreciation as per straight line method= $15,00,000/3=$5,00,000 Tax rate= 35% Depreciation Tax Shield=$5,00,000*35%=$1,75,000 Annual sales=$12,10,000 Annual cost=$4,75,000 Annual pre-tax earnings=$(12,10,000-4,75,000)=$7,35,000 Post tax earnings=$(7,35,000*65%)=$4,77,750 Thus, post tax annual cash flow= Post tax annual earnings + Depreciation Tax Shield =$(4,77,750+1,75,000) =$6,52,750 Since cash flow is same in each year, we will use Present Value Annuity Factor. Required return= 11% and Time=3 years PVAF( (1/(1+.11^1) + (1/(1.11^2) +(1/(1+.11^3) = .9009+ .8116+ 7312 =2.4437 NPV = post - tax annual cash flow * PVAF - initial investment = (652750 * 2.4437) - 1500000 = 1595125.175 - 1500000 = 95125 Using the tax shield approach to calculating OCF, we get: OCF = (Sales - Costs)(1 - tC) + tCDepreciation; Therefore NPV = Asset Investment + the Present Value Interest factor of the OCF.

Consider the following information about two stocks and indicate which stock has the most systematic risk. State Probability Stock A Stock B Recession 0.15 0.11 (0.35) Norman 0.55 0.18 0.11 Boom 0.30 0.08 0.31 Market risk premium 8.50% Risk-free rate 3.00%

Stock A expected return = (.15*.11) + (.55*.18) + (.30*.08) = .1395 Beta = (Expected Return - Risk-free Rate) / Market Risk Premium (.1395 - .03) / .0850 = .117647059 Stock B Expected return = (.15 * -.35) + (.55* .11)+ (.30 *.31) =.101 stock A is risker The amount of systematic risk is measured by the Beta of an asset. Since we know the market risk premium and the risk-free rate, if we know the expected return of the asset we can use the CAPM to solve for the Beta of the asset. Although Stock B has more total risk than A, it has much less systematic risk, since its beta is much smaller than A's. Thus, A has more systematic risk, and B has more unsystematic and more total risk.

The firm also spent $23,000 on equipment to start the project. This equipment will have a book value of $4,900 at the end of the project, but can be sold for $5,850. The tax rate is 34 percent. What is the Year 4 cash flow?

salvage value = 5850 book value = 4900 salvage - book value = 950 tax gained = 950 * .34 = 323 after tax salvaged = 5850 - 323 = 5527 operating cost = 54500 net WC = 4550 after tax salvage = 5527 add them up = 64577
