Problem 18-13 The risk-free rate of return is 6.5%, the expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 18%, and the stock of Xyrong Corporation has a beta coefficient of 2.8. Xyrong pays out 30% of its earnings in dividends, and the latest earnings announced were $9.50 per share. Dividends were just paid and are expected to be paid annually. You expect that Xyrong will earn an ROE of 20% per year on all reinvested earnings forever. a. What...
Consider a one factor economy where the risk free rate is 5%, and portfolios A and B are well diversified portfolios. Portfolio A has a beta of 0.6 and an expected return of 8%, while Portfolio B has a beta of 0.8 and an expected return of 10%. Is there an arbitrage opportunity in this economy? If yes, how could you exploit it?
