a. Assume that Carson has two choices to satisfy the increased demand for its products. It could increase production by 10 percent with its existing facilities by obtaining short-term financing to cover the extra production expense and then using a portion of the revenue received to finance this level of production in the future. Alternatively, it could issue bonds and use the proceeds to buy a larger facility that would allow for 50 percent more capacity. Which alternative should Carson select? b. Carson currently has a large amount of debt, and its assets have already been pledged to back up its existing debt. It does not have additional collateral. At this time, the credit risk premium it would pay is similar in the short-term and long-term debt markets. Does this imply that the cost of financing is the same in both markets? c. Should Carson consider using a call provision if it issues bonds? Why? Why might Carson decide not to include a call provision on the bonds? d. If Carson…

Risk-free rate is 7%, expected return on the market portfolio is 12%. Identify the correct equation for Security Market Line (SML): a. r = 5% + b(7%) b. r = 7% + b (12%) c. r = 7% + b (5%) d. r = 5% + b (12%)

Consider two types of assets: market portfolio (M) and stock A. The expected return is 8% and standard deviation of the market portfolio is 15%. The risk-free rate is 2%. The standard deviation of market portfolio returns is 15%. The standard deviation of stock A is 30%, and the beta coefficient is 1.   Draw the capital market line and show the position of stock A.
