Risk and Return - Exercise
1. Assume that Gerhardt Corporation is considering a capital investment of €50 million today that is expected
to return after-tax cash flows of €16 million per year for the next four years plus another €20 million in Year
5. The required rate of return is 10%, what is the NPV of this investment? What is the IRR of this
investment?
2. What is the NPV of this investment given required rate of return of 10%. What is the IRR of this investment?
Create NPV profile for this investment.
3. Projects A and B have similar outlays but different patterns of future cash flows. Project A realizes most of
its cash payoffs earlier than Project B. What is the crossover rate (the interest rate that makes NPVs of both
projects equal)? Is there any conflict between NPV and IRR if the required rate of return is 10% or 20%?

8. If the correlation of returns between the two securities is 0.40, the expected standard deviation of the
portfolio is closest to:
9. If the standard deviation of the portfolio is 14.40%, the correlation and covariance between the two
securities is equal to:
10. If the portfolio of the two securities has an expected return of 15%, the proportion invested in Security 1
is:
Assume W1 + W2 =1 => đúng trong thực tế kiểu khi portfolio có 10 tr thì tách 6tr cho stock 1 4 tr cho stock 2 => trọng số là 1
11. If the correlation of returns between the two securities is −0.15, the expected standard deviation of an
equal-weighted portfolio is closest to:
50/50
12. If the two securities are uncorrelated, the expected standard deviation of an equal-weighted portfolio is
closest to:
uncorrelated => r = 0 => cov = 0 => bỏ phần nhân đằng sau trong sp^2
