15) A firm has debt beta of 0.2 and an asset beta of 1.9. If the debt-equity ratio is 75 percent, what is the levered equity beta? A) 1.90 B) 3.18 C) 2.42 D) 2.63

Can you show how this is done

Assume a firm has a beta of 1.2. All else held constant, the cost of equity for this firm will increase if the:  A.beta decreases. B.decreases as the beta of the firm's stock increases C.either the risk-free rate or the market rate of return decreases. D.must equal the market rate of return

Can you please solve these accounting question?

1.  If a company has a Beta = 1.7, this stock is riskier than the S&P 500 index.  That means its price fluctuates more than the market average.  We can also say that the company’s stock price is more volatile than average.  What’s good about a Beta > 1 and what’s bad about it? 2. T or F? Higher risk investments give the investor a higher return.  If this is true, why don’t we all invest in the riskiest investments we can find? What’s the difference between fundamental analysis and technical analysis?  Don’t simply define them both.  Figure out what’s different. 3. If the value > price,  then BUY according to value investors    If the value < price, the DON’T BUY or maybe sell or hold according to value investors        Would “momentum” investors say Buy or Don’t Buy?        What would “income investors” want to know in order to make a BUY decision?

Q1. A price weighted index places more weight on stocks with a higher price, whilst a value weighted index places more weight on stocks with a higher market capitalization. Discuss. Q2. Price weighted indices have been criticized because they introduce a downward bias by reducing the weight of growing companies whose stock split. What does this mean and why does the underweighting occur? Q3. What should be the risk premium and return on a stock with a Beta of zero under the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)? What about the risk premium and return on a stock with a Beta of 1? Q4. In a world of certainty, investors will always invest in the asset with the highest return. In the real world, investors hold a diversified portfolio of securities. Why is this the case?

Which statement is NOT correct? The distribution of returns does not affect the expected average rate of return. To find the dividend yield, we can subtract the capital gain yield from the total stock return. Average geometric return is a better indicator than the average arithmetic return for the growth. Wider the distribution of return, riskier is the investment. The current risk premium for U.S. Treasury bills is 0%.

Which of the following statements is true?   A.   Because of flotation costs, dollars raised by retaining earnings must work harder than dollars raised by selling new shares.   B.   All other things being equal, a call option price will increase, and a put option price will decrease if an exercise price increases.   C.   Security market line (SML) plots return against total risk which is measured by the standard deviation of returns.   D.   Because potential long-term returns, income from rent-payments, diversification, and inflation hedge, real-estate would be a good investment.

Please correct answer and don't use hand raiting

Please do a and b separate (Question 2) a) Plot the Security Market Line (SML)b) Superimpose the CAPM’s required return on the SMLc) 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.
