A project has an expected cash flow of $300 in year 3. The risk-free rate is 5%, the market risk premium is 8%, and the project's beta is 1.25. Calculate the certainty equivalent cash flow for year 3, CEQ3. $228.35 $197.25 $300 $270.02

Respuesta :

Answer: $228.35

Explanation:

The Certainty Equivalent Cashflow is the amount that the project is expected to generate if it were invested in a risk free asset and then discounted at the company's required return.

[tex]= \frac{Expected cashflow * (1 + riskfree rate)^{no. of periods} }{(1 + required return)^{no. of periods} }[/tex]

Required return = Risk free rate + beta * market premium

= 5% + 1.25 * 8%

= 15%

Certainty equivalent cash flow

[tex]= \frac{300 * (1 + 0.05)^{3} }{(1 + 0.15)^{3} } \\\\= 228.35[/tex]

= $228.35
