Answer #1

Return=(Ending Value+Cash flow)/Beginning Value-1

1.
=(118000+15000)/120000-1
=10.83%

2.
=(500+80)/600-1
=-3.33%

3.
=(48000+7000)/45000-1
=22.22%

Required return=risk free rate+beta*(market return-risk free rate)

1.
=9%+0.8*(13%-9%)
=12.20%

2.
=9%+1*(13%-9%)
=13.00%

3.
=9%+1.5*(13%-9%)
=15.00%

4.
=9%+2*(13%-9%)
=17.00%
