CAPM and Bond Yields

The provided assignment content discusses the calculation of yield to maturity and return on equity (ROE) using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). The first part deals with the calculation of yield to maturity for a bond, while the second part focuses on calculating ROE for Bega Cheese and a hypothetical company. The CAPM is used to calculate the expected rate of return, taking into account factors such as risk-free rate, beta, and risk premium. The beta value affects the ROE, with a positive beta indicating higher returns and a negative beta indicating lower returns. The assignment also discusses the importance of considering market data and historical returns in calculating the CAPM.

Answer to question 1:
Answer to part a:
In the given case, the question asks about the present values of the all instalment
payment that will be received by the company. The company has initiated a sale but the
payment will be received in 48 equal instalment. To meet its needs the company needs to
discount the payment receivable form the bank. When the rate of discount is 7% compounded
monthly, the payment will be calculated by calculating the Present values of annuity
compounding on monthly basis. Further, as the interest is compounding monthly therefore the
monthly interest rate is required to be considered.

Instalment per month 10000

The Deta Of the Bega Cheese is as follows:

6 year Bond Required rate of Return 4.10%
Part b:
In the given assignment if the growth rate of the company is 7.40% per year and the current
income is $1438.28 therefore by calculating the Future value of the current income on a
growth rate of 9.8% is required to be calculated. This can be calculated by finding the future
value of the current income.
Current rate of Revenue 1438.28

Part c:
In the given case three loan options are given that is Loan A, Loan B, Loan C all the loan
options consist of different interests rate and different compounding procedures. In addition

to that, the entire loan amount is same in all options. Therefore, we are required to calculate
the effective rate of interest rate. The effective rate of Interest will be useful to evaluate the
plan to be accepted. The effective rate will differ from the annual rate based on the number of
time it is compounding.

Part d:
The given case the loan of the property amounts to be $ 811000 ate the interest rate of 3.8%.
The quarterly payment towards the principal along with the interest will be paid $ 24465.65
then the loan will amortise at the end of 8th year.

The yield to bonds are calculated when the value of the bonds are 100 with semi-annually

Part f:
In the given case as the interest is compounding semi-annually therefore, we are required to
calculate the semi-annual interest fairs and after that, he return is to be calculated. In addition
to after asserting the semi-annual interest, the coupon payment will be considered.

Answer to question 2:
In the said question, the cost of equity will be calculated on the CAPM or capital assets
pricing model.
To calculate this the following information are required to be considered
RA Risk Free Return on Share
Rrf Risk Free Rate
Ba Beta Of the Security
Rm Expected Return of the market
Bega: Case 1 where the beta is 0.86(five years)
RA Risk Free Return on Share

Rrf Risk Free Rate 1.97%
Ba Beta Of the Security 0.86
Rm Expected Return of the market 6%
return on equity 5.44%
Case 2:
In the given case a bets of -0.2 is taken for the hypothetical company.
In the given case for the hypothetical company the bets are -.2 therefore the return on
equity becomes inferior to the earlier.
RA Risk Free Return on Share HPY
Rrf Risk Free Rate 1.97%
Ba Beta Of the Security -0.2

Expected Return of the
market 6%
return on equity 1.16%

Answer to question 3:
In the following part of the study, the discussion will be made taking into consideration the
difference of the share return (Return on equity) investment of the company for the Bega
Cheese and the hypothetical company. In the given case all, the other matter except beta is
constant; therefore, the main factor that segregates the rate of earning on the investment
depends on the bets. Beta is defined the measure of the risk that is associated with the
investment policy. The risk free rate is that rate of return on which the investors are required
to take no risk. The risk free investments are government bonds and others where the investor
is not required to take any significant risk. Additionally the risk premium is the rate of
earning that is more than the risk free rate. In the given case, the risk free rate is 1.97% on
Australian bonds whereas the Risk premium is 6%. The bets is the measure of the risk that
the investor is ready to bear for the additional income of (6- 1.96) = 4.04%. The rate of return
in the case 2 of the question a becomes inferior as the beta is negative this stimulates the no
risk function on the investment. Irrespective of the fact, the CAPM or the Capital Asset
Pricing model is the best method of calculating the return on equity among the all other
methods. Furthermore, all of the factors that are considered for the CAPM analysis are related
to the variable market data that are depended on the marketing forces. In addition to that that
the risk or the Beta is calculated on the 5 years return and other factors. In addition, the Risk
premium is ascertain by the historical return on investment of the company. The risk free
return rate is also considered importance in analysing, as it is inter related with the bets as the
investor is willing to take additional risk to earn more income. If a beta is one then it will be
said there is no risk involved in the investment. A no risk investment is that government
bonds of Australia. There are money bonds that are offered by government of Australia. For
the hypothetical company the Beta is lowered to -0.2. As all other factors are remaining same.
In addition to the negative Beta is a myth. The negative beta means the investor will get

assured more income than the risk free rate of return but that do not happen in the actual or
real markets. The CAPM is calculated by computing the = Risk Free rate of Return +
(BETA* (risk Premium – Risk free rate of return))
The presented formula showcase that the return earning capacity of the said investment is
decided by the Risk Free rate plus the Risk probability (Beta) of the additional risk Premium
rate.
Further, the CAPM does not compute the Return on Equity for the company rather it is the
return that the shareholder could accept. Further it is to be noted the actual return may be
different or similar to the return.
