Financiering 6012B0217 Financiering Case 2012/2013 Vraag 1 a) Excel regression (ongecorrigeerde beta) equity beta van ING: 1.972874 ASML: 1,002967 Ahold: 0,395736 b) We know that there is a linear relationship between the stock beta and its expected return. So, if there is fewer stock the security market line will be steeper so, the beta will be smaller. Vraag 2 ßu = ßa= (E/(D+E)) x ße Net debt: Interest Bearing Debt – Cash and Cash Equivalents ING: 47284/(1234038+47284) x 1,972874 = 0,07280 Debt: 1247110-13072=1234038 ASML: 2773908/(1456616+2773908) x 1,002967 = 0,65763 Debt: 3406450-1949834=1456616 Ahold: 5910/(6215+5910) x 0,395736 = 0,192891 Debt: 8815-2600=6215 Vraag 3 a) ASML has a higher asset beta because it participates in an market which develops faster, so it has a higher systematic risk.
