Using Approach 1, LED Light’s estimated required rate of return is closest to:
选项:
A.6.55%.
7.06%.
8.48%
解释:
B is correct. The required return for LED Light using Approach 1 (CAPM using the beta of a peer firm) is calculated as follows:
First, compute the unlevered beta from the peer firm beta:
Second, compute the levered beta given the debt-to-equity of LED Light of 0.5:
Finally, compute the required return with the levered beta:
Required rate of return = Current expected risk − free return + βi (Equity risk premium)
Required rate of return = 0.02 + 0.84375 (0.06) = 0.070625 ≈ 7.06%
The peer firm’s beta is 0.8, 为啥不理解为peer form的asset beta是0.8?
