A student solved the inequality  as follows: Step 1: 1 – 4x ≤ 25 Step 2: -4x ≤ 24 Step 3: x ≤ -6 Student’s Graph: Solid circle at -6 with arrow pointing to the left. Task: What was the student’s mistake in  Step 3. Explain the rule that was violated, state the correct solution, and describe the corrected graph.

 Solve the multi-step inequality and select the correct solution set: -4(x + 3) – 2 > 14

Solve the compound inequality and select its the solution. -7 < 2x - 3 ≤ 5

For these  3 questions (4, 5,6) you will pick only 2 of these to work.  You will write “SKIP” to the one you do not want graded.  (Do not work all 3, you will not earn additional points for the work).   Suppose you manage a $1500,000 retirement portfolio.  It is made up of these mutual fund investments: Fund                Investment                  Beta.               Firm Projected Return green                   $150,000                     2.0                           12 blue                    150,000                      10.4                             6 red                       200,000                     1.1                             10 yellow                    50,000                     0.9                              8 CASH               the rest                       -0.9                           13    A.  What are the weights of each investment? B.  What is the beta of the portfolio? C.  Using the Beta you calculated above, if the Risk Free rate is 13 % and the Market risk premium is 6.9% 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 13 % and if the Market risk premium is 6.9%  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 and why?  

Work This Problem  .  Work this problem:  Finding WACC  (25 points) Black Moon Rising has $18 million in short term bank loans. Most of this debt (80%) is used to finance the inventory and current asset needs of the firm.  The remainder is actually used as part of the firm’s capital structure. (They use an aggressive financing policy in the hope that they will save on interest expense).  The firm has 120 Million dollars in Long Term Debt (the firm’s bonds).  The balance sheet shows that there is $11Million in stock and Retained Earnings total $129 million.  Preferred stock has a book value of $2.75 Million.  Preferred promises to pay a dividend of $ 16 per year. Preferred stock sells for $661 These 1000 par value bonds have an 18% coupon rate and the bonds mature in 120 years and sell for $ 975. The common stock currently sells for $154 paid a dividend of $ 14 last year – it is forecast to grow at 13% per year for the foreseeable future. The short term debt renews annually and the current rate (which is expected to be the same next year) is 16%.  (Short term debt has no floatation cost) The floatation costs for common stock, preferred stock, and bonds are $12, $ 10, and $ 15respectively. The tax rate is 25.9%.

The WACC is (show the formula and the values used.   D. You are offered a project that has an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of -12.5%. Is this anacceptable project for this firm? (WHY)
