Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up the reaction rate by increasing the activation energy of the reaction.

The acronym FAD stands for Fat and Dangerous.

Answer all of the following questions using the graph of the function provided. Provide answers in interval notation where applicable. a. State the domain of .   b. State the range of .   c. For which values of is ? State all that apply   d. Approximate .   e. State all local maxima of the graph of. Note the local maxima are the y-values of the points in a graph at which a function changes from increasing to decreasing (i.e., at any peak in the graph). There may be multiple local maxima and they may have different y-values.  

Suppose you manage a $500,000 retirement portfolio.  It is made up of these mutual fund investments: Fund                Investment                  Beta.               Firm Projected Return A.                     $150,000                     2.0                               12 B                        50,000                      0.4                               6 C                       200,000                     1.1                               10 D.                      100,000                     0.9                              8   A.   What is the beta of the portfolio? B.   Given the Firm Projected Return,  what is the expected return on the portfolio?   C.  Using the Beta you calculated above, if the Risk Free rate is 3% and the Market risk premium is 6% what rate of return does the Capital Asset Pricing Model predict this portfolio should return?   D  According to the Capital Asset Pricing Model,  given the betas above, the Risk Free rate of 3% and if the Market risk premium is 6%  what should each of these assets return?   E If the CAPM estimate is correct, based on the firm’s projected return, which assets would the firm buy more of and which would it sell?    

As a corporate manager you are concerned with what will happen to the required return to Doughboy Doughnuts equity as market conditions change. Suppose that the R(rf) =4%, the R(m) is 12%, and B(DD) is 1.5. A. Under current conditions what is the required rate of return for your stock? B.  Suppose (only that ) the slope of the SML remains constant, but the risk free rate decreases to 4% (holding the Market Risk Premium constant)  What will happen to the required return? C. Suppose (Only)  that the Slope of the SML increases so that the Return on the Market is now 15%, but the risk free rate remains at 4%  {the MRP is now 11}.  what effect would this have on the stock’s return?
