A project has an expected cash flow of $1 million one year from now. The standard deviation of this cash flow is $250,000. If the expected return of the market portfolio is 10 percent, the risk-free rate is 5 percent, the standard deviation of the market return is 5 percent, and the correlation between this future cash flow and the return on the market is .5, what is the present value of the cash flow?
Assume the CAPM holds. Hint: Use the certainty equivalent method.AppendixLO1
