The Market Outlet has a beta of 1.38 and a cost of equity of 14.945 percent. The risk-free rate of return is 4.25 percent. What discount rate should the firm assign to a new project that has a beta of 1.25?

The discount rate assign to a new project with a Beta of 1.25 is 13.94%

Explanation:

The applicable formula is the Capital Asset Pricing Model formula of Miller and Modgliani  quoted below:

Ke = Rf + (Market risk premium x Beta)

Currently Ke=14.945%

Beta =1.38

Risk free rate of return (Rf) is 4.25%

Market risk premium is the unknown

14.945%=4.25%+(Market Risk Premium)*1.38

14.945%-4.25%=Market Risk Premium*1.38

10.70% =Market Risk Premium*1.38

10.70%/1.38=Market Risk Premium

Market Risk Premium =7.75%

However, the new project cost of equity has to be determined due to having a different Beta factor of 1.25(a different risk appetite)

Using the above formula, we have

Ke=4.25%+(7.75% *1.25)

Ke =13.94%

there is no possible way mgk stands a chance with the greatest white rapper of all time. eminem killshots had more bars than rap devil and the reason mgk is doing all this is cause he not getting attention anymore til the release of rap devil and the disses he is putting on eminem. now rap devil was more fire than killshot so mgk might won the battle with rap devil but eminem won the war with killshot.
