Answer: 0.92
Explanation:
Beta is a measure of riskiness and Market beta is always 1.
The total portfolio therefore has a beta of 1.
Portfolio Beta is weighted average of the betas of the composite stocks.
The stocks are equally invested in so their weights are 0.5.
Assume the beta needed is x.
(0.5 * 1.08) + (0.5 * x) = 1
0.54 + 0.5x = 1
0.5x = 1 - 0.54
x = 0.46/0.5
= 0.92

Guerilla Radio Broadcasting has a project available with the following cash flows : Year Cash Flow 0 −$15,700 1 6,400 2 7,700 3 4,500 4 4,100 What is the payback period?
Answer: 2.36 years
Explanation:
Payback period is the amount of time it will take to pay off the initial investment/ outlay which in this case is $15,700.
= Year before investment is paid + (Amount remaining/ Cashflow in year of Payback)
Add up the cashflows to find the year before payback;
= 6,400 + 7,700
= $14,100
Year before payback = 2
Amount remaining;
= 15,700 - 14,100
= $1,600
Payback period = 2 + (1,600/ 4,500)
= 2.36 years

What are the arithmetic and geometric average returns for a stock with annual returns of:__________.
a) 4%,
b) 9%,
c) -6%,
d) 18%
Answer:
Arithmetic average return = 6.25%
Geometric average return = 5.89%
Explanation:
Annual returns of 4%, 9%, -6% and 18%
Arithmetic average return of the stock = ∑ 4%,9%,-6%,and 18% / n
= 25%/4
= 6.25%
Geometric average return formula = x1,*x2*x3 .....^1/n - 1
Geometric average return = 1.04*1.09*(1-0.06)*1.18^1/4 -1
Geometric average return = 1.04*1.09*0.94*1.18^1/4 - 1
Geometric average return = 1.25789^1/4-1
Geometric average return = 1.0589 - 1
Geometric average return = 0.0589
Geometric average return = 5.89%
