You are considering the purchase of real estate that will provide perpetual income that should average $63,000 per year. How much will you pay for the property if you believe its market risk is the same as the market portfolio's? The T-bill rate is 4%, and the expected market return is 7.5%.

Expert Solution

Computation of the property value:-

Given that property has same risk as market portfolio, so its beta must be equal to 1

Required return = Risk free rate + Beta * (Expected market return - Risk free rate)

= 4% + 1 * (7.5% - 4%)

= 4% + 3.5%

= 7.5%

Property value = Annual perpetual income / Required return

= $63,000 / 7.5%

= $840,000
