Explanation / Answer

46)Total investment = 600+400=1000

Beta of portfolio = [1.2*600/1000]+[1.6*400/1000]

                = .72+ .64

                 = 1.36

correct option is " C"

47)required rate = Rf+ [Market premium * beta]

             = 6+ [8*1.36]

             = 6+ 10.88

             = 16.88%

correct option is " C"

48)cost of equity = 7+ [(16-7)*1.6]

               = 7 + 14.4

                = 21.4%

price today =D1/(Rs-g)

100=10 /(.214-g)

.214-g = 10/100

    .214 - .10= g

     g = .114 or 11.4%

D2 =D1(1+g)

= 10(1+.114)

= 11.14

price in one year= 11.14/(.214-.114)

             = 11.14 /.10

          = $ 111.4

correct option is "C"
