Solutions to Chapter 9 Problems
11. a. requity = rf + (rm – rf)
requity = .04 + 1.5 .06
requity = .13, or 13%
b. rassets = (D / V)rdebt + (E / V)requity
rassets = $4m / ($4m + 6m) × .04 + $6m / ($4m + 6m) × [.04 + 1.5(.06)]
rassets = .094, or 9.40%
c. The cost of capital depends on the risk of the project being evaluated. If the risk of the
project is similar to the risk of the other assets of the company, then the appropriate rate of return
is the company cost of capital. Here, the appropriate discount rate is 9.4 percent.
d. rassets = (D / V)rdebt + (E / V)requity
rassets = $4m / ($4m + 6m) × .04 + $6m / ($4m + 6m) × [.04 + 1.2(.06)]
rassets = .0832, or 8.32%
12. a. Total market value = $100m + 40m + 299m
Total market value = $439m
Asset = $100m / $439m × 0 + $40m / $439m × .20 + $299m / $439m ×
1.20
Asset = .836
b. r = rf + (rm – rf)
r = .05 + .836(.06)
r = .1001, or 10.01%
13. a. The R2 value for Toronto Dominion was .49, which means that 49 percent of total
risk comes from movements in the market, i.e., market risk. Therefore, (1 – .49) =
.51, or 51 percent of total risk is unique risk.
The R2 value for Loblaw’s was .01, which means that 1 percent of total risk comes from
movements in the market and 99 percent is unique risk.
b. The variance of Toronto Dominion is: (13)2 = 169
Variance due to the market = .49 × 169 = 82.81
Variance of diversifiable returns = (1 – .49) × 169 = 86.19
d. rTD = rf + TD (rm – rf)
rTD = .05 + .83(.12 – .05)]
rTD = .1081, or 10.81%
e. rTD = rf + TD (rm – rf)
rTD = .05 + .83(0 – .05)]
rTD = .0085, or .85%
