Examine the Risk Relation between Risk and Return Instructions Write an assessment in which you address the following problems/questions: Assess how diversification benefits the investor. Can you imagine circumstances where an investor would not want to diversify? Then explain why or why not. Analyze the formulation of the Capital Asset Pricing Model, including the definition of the model with identification of each component. Explain how the CAPM development effectively makes use of the diversification as a foundation for the development of the model. Discuss the uses of the Capital Asset Pricing Model within finance. Develop the Capital Asset Pricing Model using the assumptions that the risk-free rate is 3%, the expected return on the market is 8%, and the relevant beta is 1.05. Use problem 3 to develop the alternative solutions presented within a table for the assumptions that the beta is 0.75, 1.05, and 1.75 as well as the assumption that the risk free rate is 1%, 3%, and 6.5%. Develop a valuation model for a common stock assuming that a company just paid a dividend of $1.75 per share. It’s assumed that the dividend will grow at a constant rate of 6% per year forever. The risk-free rate is 6% with an expected return on the market of 12% and a beta of 1.1. Show each step in generating the resulting valuation. Use your analysis of question 5 above to form a table that shows all combinations for the model with the growth rate at 2%, 6%, and 9% and the beta at 0.75, 1.1, and 1.8.  Explain why your generated results make financial sense.

Spotlight on Dress Code Policies—Discrimination Based on Gender. Burlington Coat Factory Warehouse, Inc., had a dress code that required male sales clerks to wear business attire consisting of slacks, shirt, and necktie. Female salesclerks, by contrast, were required to wear a smock so that customers could readily identify them. Karen O’Donnell and other female employees refused to wear the smock. Instead they reported to work in business attire and were suspended. After numerous suspensions, the female employees were fired for violating Burlington’s dress code policy. All other conditions of employment, including salary, hours, and benefits, were the same for female and male employees. Was the dress code policy discriminatory? Why or why not?
