8. Portfolio Risk and Return. According to the CAPM, would the expected rate of return on a security with a beta less than zero be more or less than the risk-free interest rate? Why would investors invest in such a security? (Hint: Look back to the auto and gold example in Chapter 11.) (LO12-1)
9. Risk and Return. Suppose that the risk premium on stocks and other securities did, in fact, rise with total risk (i.e., the variability of returns) rather than just market risk. Explain how investors could exploit the situation to create portfolios with high expected rates of return but low levels of risk. (LO12-2)
10. CAPM and Valuation. You are considering acquiring a firm that you believe can generate expected cash flows of $10,000 a year forever. However, you recognize that those cash flows are uncertain. (LO12-2)a. Suppose you believe that the beta of the firm is .4. How much is the firm worth if the risk-free rate is 4% and the expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 11%?b. By how much will you overvalue the firm if its beta is actually .6?
1. Changes in Capital Structure. Look at our calculation of Big Oil’s WACC in Section 13.5. (LO13-1)a. Suppose Big Oil is excused from paying taxes. What would be its WACC?b. Now suppose that, after the tax rate has fallen to zero, Big Oil makes a large stock issue and uses the proceeds to pay off all its debt. What would be the cost of equity after the issue?
3. WACC. Reactive Power Generation has the following capital structure. Its corporate tax rate is 21%. What is its WACC? (LO13-1)
Security Market Value Required Rate of Return
Debt $20 million 6%
Preferred stock 10 million 8
Common stock 50 million 12
5. Calculating WACC. The total book value of WTC’s equity is $10 million, and book value per share is $20. The stock has a market-to-book ratio of 1.5, and the cost of equity is 15%. The firm’s bonds have a face value of $5 million and sell at a price of 110% of face value. The yield to maturity on the bonds is 9%, and the firm’s tax rate is 21%. Find the company’s WACC. (LO13-1)
18. Cost of Debt. Olympic Sports has two issues of debt outstanding. One is a 9% coupon bond with a face value of $20 million, a maturity of 10 years, and a yield to maturity of 10%. The coupons are paid annually. The other bond issue has a maturity of 15 years, with coupons also paid annually, and a coupon rate of 10%. The face value of the issue is $25 million, and the issue sells for 94% of par value. The firm’s tax rate is 21%. (LO13-4)
a. What is the before-tax cost of debt for Olympic?
b. What is Olympic’s after-tax cost of debt?
19. Cost of Equity. Bunkhouse Electronics is a recently incorporated firm that makes electronic entertainment systems. Its earnings and dividends have been growing at a rate of 30%, and the current dividend yield is 2%. Its beta is 1.2, the market risk premium is 8%, and the risk-free rate is 4%. (LO13-4)
a. Use the CAPM to estimate the firm’s cost of equity.
b. Now use the constant growth model to estimate the cost of equity. c. Which of the two estimates is more reasonable?

Application of Nursing Theory to Administrative Practice Arena
Select a grand nursing theory. Explain how application of this theory by nurse leaders and nurse managers can influence outcomes from two of the following areas.
Organizational operations
Patient satisfaction scores
Patient-care delivery
Workflow redesign
Nursing theory is vital to all practice areas in nursing specialties. An evidence-based (theoretical) approach is a quality of professional nursing practice and guides systematic care for patients. If the profession of nursing is to continue to be recognized and respected, members of our discipline must continue to use theory as a basis for critical thinking and decision-making in practice.
In this thread you will respond to and discuss: Select a grand nursing theory. Explain how application of this theory by nurse leaders and nurse managers can influence outcomes from two of the following areas:
• Organizational operations
• Patient satisfaction scores
• Patient-care delivery
• Workflow redesign
The course outcomes that will be used to guide the learning process are:
• Propose strategies foe use of relevant theories that nurse leaders can employ in selected healthcare or educational organizations, considering legal and ethical principles. (PO #2, 6)
• Communicate the analysis of and proposed strategies for the use of a theory in nursing practice. (PO#3)

Assignment #11–preparing for Essay #3
hey all, unlike our first 2 papers where you answered questions that you were given, for this next essay, you are going to have a lot more freedom.
First off, I am not even sure we should call it “essay” #3, because even though we will be doing a lot of writing, and even though you will still be expected to build phat paras, and bring in quotes, the FORMAT that you may be writing might not look like an essay. (Those of you who have attended zoom calls already this week know what I am talking about….)
To prepare for Essay/Project #3, we are having YOU brainstorm some ideas about what you think you might like to do. We have been discussing ideas in the zoom classes, and now it is time for you to take it further.
You will be answering these questions in order to develop your possible essay/project. Once you. turn this in, I will be working with you next week to make sure that your essay/project will work. Here are the questions. Please be as thorough and detailed as possible. Don’t simply say “I want to do a project about the Homeless.” That is of course much too general.
The general topic areas that we are exploring is: Politics (this can be local or national) / Community engagement / Climate and Environment …. Of course you dont need to have your idea hit ALL these areas…. one area is enough.
here are the questions:
Please describe in detail, what exactly is your project proposal about ?
What need is being filled, or what problem is being addressed by your project?
Who is the audience for your project?
How will people interact with your project?
What format would your writing take? (web page… brochure…letter…Zine….etc.)
Anything else you would like to add or say about your project?
