Expert Solution

13. A municipal bond is backed by the government ans is therefore considered to be less risky. Therefore, the yield offered on the same as compared to a corporate bond would be less.

14. EAY (Quarterly) = 3.03%, EAY (Monthly) = 1.004%. Quarterly EAY would be higher.

15. APR of both would be the same. APR (Quarterly) = 3*4 = 12%, APR (Monthly) = 12*1 = 12%

16. The risk premium of the stock having beta 2 would be more as the systematic risk of that stock, as shown by beta, is more.

17. The risk premium of the stock will be more as the beta is 1.5 as compared to the beta of market which is 1.

18. The stock having growth rate of 6% will be priced higher as per the constant growth model.

19. The stock having the growth rate will be priced higher as all stocks are deemed to last till perpetuity.

20. The bond with coupon 5% will be priced at higher because not only does it have greater amounts of cash flows, these flows are also discounted at a lower rate.
