Question 1: (Lecture 1)
Suppose Pepsico’s stock has a beta of 0.5. If the risk-free rate is 3% and the market risk premium
is 5%, what is Pepsico’s equity cost of capital?
Please write your answer in percentage points with 2 digits after the decimal point.
SOLUTION
beta = 0.59
Market return (Rm) = 7%
Risk free rate (Rf) =3%
Equity cost of capital
= Rf + (Rm - Rf) * Beta
= 3 + (7-3) * 0.59
= 5.36%
Question 2: (Lecture 1) [Similar to Example 12.1 in BD.]
Suppose you estimate that the stock of Company A (stock A) has a volatility of 5% and a beta of
1.1, and the stock of company B (Stock B) has a volatility of 20% and a beta of 0.4. The
volatility is the standard deviation of the stock's return.
Which of the following statements are correct? There could be more than one correct statement.
A. Stock A has more market (systematic) risk than Stock B.
