Assuming a budget of $2,000,000 what are your recommendations for the above problem? Explain.
Question 3: Risk & Return and the CAPM.
Based on the following information, calculate the required return based on the CAPM:
Risk Free Rate = 3.75%
Market Return =10%
Beta = 1.32
Question 4: Present value of annuity problem.
You will receive $2,000 at the end of the next 12 years, assuming a 6% discount rate, what is the present value of the cash flows?
