Indell stock has a current market value of $130 million and a beta of 1.50. Indell currently has risk-free debt as well.
The firm decides to change its capital structure by issuing $27.79 million in additional risk-free debt, and then using
this $27.79 million plus another $17 million in cash to repurchase stock. With perfect capital markets, what will the
beta of Indell stock be after this transaction?

Indell stock has a current market value of $150 million and a beta of 2.00. Indell currently has risk-free debt as well. The firm decides to change its capital structure by issuing $41.02 million in additional risk free debt, and then using this $41.02 million plus another $10 million in cash to repurchase stock. With perfect capital markets, what will the beta of Indell stock be after this transaction? %? (Round to two decimal places.)
You have been asked to calculate the cost of equity using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). The CFO estimates the Beta as 0.90. Management wants to use the 30 year bond rate as the risk free rate, arguing that Investors should make long term investments; that rate is 3% today. The expected return on the stock market as a whole has been estimated to be 7%, 10% and 12% by various studies. The CFO asks that you use an expected return of 9% for the average stock. The market risk Premium (RPM) will be 6%. 9% minus 3% = 6%.
Calculate the cost of equity (Rs) using the CAPM. The formula is Rs = rRF + (RPM ) x β. Rs is the required return on equity or the Cost of Equity, rRF is the risk free rate, RP M is the required stock market return in excess of the risk free rate, and β , (Beta) is the stocks relative risk. β is also described as the estimate of the amount of risk that an individual stock contributes to a well balance portfolio.

- Calculate the required rate of return for Campbell Corp. common stock. The stock has a beta of 1.3, and Campbell is considered a large capitalization stock. Current long-term government bonds are yielding 5.0% and the equity risk premium is 5.8%. How would your required rate of return change if you used U.S. Treasury bills for your risk-free rate?
