Q3 (15 Marks)
You expect that Bean Enterprises will have earnings per share of K 2 for the coming year. Bean plans to retain all of its eamings for the next three years. For the subsequent two years, the firm plans on retaining \( 50 \% \) of its carnings. It will then retain only \( 25 \% \) of its earnings from that point forward. Retained earnings will be invested in projects with an expected return of \( 20 \% \) per year. If Bean's equity RRR is \( 10 \% \), then determine the value of Bean's stock? (Hint: Determine the dividend payout and growth rate)
Q4 (15 Marks)
Consider the following returns:
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|}
\hline Probability & ZAMBEEF & ZANACO \\
\hline \( 10 \% \) & \( 20.1 \% \) & \( 0.2 \% \) \\
\hline \( 15 \% \) & \( 72.7 \% \) & \( -3.2 \% \) \\
\hline \( 20 \% \) & \( -25.7 \% \) & \( -27.0 \% \) \\
\hline \( 20 \% \) & \( 56.9 \% \) & \( 27.9 \% \) \\
\hline \( 15 \% \) & \( 6.7 \% \) & \( -5.1 \% \) \\
\hline \( 20 \% \) & \( 17.9 \% \) & \( -11.3 \% \) \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
Required:
A. Determine the Covariance and coefficient of Correlation for ZAMBEEF and ZANACO.
B. Compare the two assets, which one is better in terms of risk and reward?
