Question

3. Assume that B = $200 000, r = 1 year, i = 7%, d = 0.9, N(h1) = 0.174120 and N(h2) = 0.793323.

Explanation / Answer

Since, multiple questions have been posted and each question is independent of another, I have answered the first question (Question 2).

____

Question 2:

The required risk premium can be calculated with the use of following equation:

Required Risk Premium = (1+i)/(p+g - p*g) - (1+i)

Using the value provided in the question in the above formula, we get,

Required Risk Premium = (1+12.50%)/(.98+.85 - .98*.85) - (1+12.50%) = .34% (answer)
