iption Problem 1 Douglas Keel, a financial analyst for Orange Industries, wishes to estimate the rate of return for two similar-risk investments, X and Y. Douglas's research indicates that the immediate past returns will serve as reasonable estimates of future returns. A year earlier, investment X had a market value of $27,000; and investment Y had a market value of \$64,000. During the year, investment X generated cash flow of $2,025 and investment Y generated cash flow of $ 7,327. The current market values of investments X and Y are $27,781 and $64,000, respectively. a. Calculate the expected rate of return on investments X and Y using the most recent year's data. Submit Assignment

V1 Here's an excerpt from an interview between Magellan fund co-founder Hamish Douglass and AFR reporter Vesna Poljak, which appeared in the Australian Financial Review article ‘It's all about interest rates: Hamish Douglass’, 19 July 2019: Take a business growing at 4 per cent a year, with a cost of equity of 10 per cent based off a 5 per cent risk-free rate and a 5 per cent market risk premium: you would value that at around 16.6 times free cashflow. Now take a business growing at the same rate, with a 4 per cent risk free rate. At a 9 per cent cost of equity that would command a 20 times multiple, he says. At a 3 per cent risk-free rate, the cost of equity is 8 per cent, and the multiple is 25. Finally at 2 per cent – 'which is where the world is at the moment' – the same business would be worth around 33 times free cashflow. The 'multiples' that Hamish Douglass refers to could also be called: Select one: a. Annuity factors (=1/r*(1-1/(1+r)^T)). b. Perpetuity factors (=1/(r-g)). c.…
