2. An analyst for Acme, R. Runner, has recommended that Peter the Anteater purchase shares in a private firm (a firm that is not traded on any exchange) called Dynamite Corp. Dynamite has 30% debt and 70% equity. R. Runner believes that Dynamite will generate a return of 10% over the next year. Since Y. Lee is new to the job, he decides to do a little research on his own. He finds a company, Explosions Unlimited, that has very similar business as Dynamite. Explosions has an equity beta of 1.05 and is composed of 40% debt and 60% equity. Should Peter the Anteater buy the stock? The expected return on the market is 12% and the expected risk-free rate is 5%.
