Consider a firm that has decided to make, but has not yet announced, a large “bonus” cash dividend amounting in the aggregate to $5 million

B3. (Cash dividend versus share repurchase) Consider a firm that has decided to make, but has not yet announced, a large “bonus” cash dividend amounting in the aggregate to $5 million. The firm has 1 million shares outstanding that sell for $20 each. The firm has no debt; there are no taxes; and all transactions take place in a perfect capital market. Using calculations like those in the illustration of dividend irrelevance in a perfect capital market, show that shareholders will be indifferent between whether the firm pays out the “bonus” as a dividend or uses the money to buy back $5 million of its shares.

(Integrative-Risk, return, and CAPM) Wolff Enterprises must consider several investment projects

(Integrative-Risk, return, and CAPM) Wolff Enterprises must consider several investment projects, A through E, using the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) and its graphical representation, the security market line (SML). Relevant information is presented in the following table.
Item Rate of return Beta,b
Risk-free asset 9% 0.00
Market portfolio 14 1.00
Project A __ 1.50
Project B ___ 0.75
Project C ___ 2.00
Project D ___ 0.00
Project E ___ -0.50

a. Calculate (1) the required rate of return and (2) the risk premium for each project, given its level of nondiversifiable risk.
b. Use your findings in part a to draw the security, market line (required return relative to nondiversifiable risk).
c. Discuss the relative nondiversifiable risk of projects A through E
d. Assume that recent economic events have caused investors to become less risk- averse, causing the market return to decline by 2%, to 12%. Calculate the new required returns for assets A through E, and draw the new security market line on the same set of axes that you used in part b.
e. Compare your findings in part a and b with those in part d. What conclusion can you draw about the impact of a decline in investor risk aversion on the required returns of risky assets?
