Use the following information to answer the next two questions.
Drayton McLane sold the Astros a while back for about $645 Million. (You can assume he sold it at the end of
2011). He originally purchased the team at the end of 1992 for $117 million. Back in 1992 the S&P 500 stock market index was at about $30 and it was about $120 at the end of 2011(adjusted for splits and dividends). You can assume the yield on US treasuries was about 4% over the period and the expected market risk premium was 5.5%. Also, forget about any other cash flows from ownership rights, franchise fees, subsidies for the stadium etc. Assume the whole deal was 100% equity.
1. Based on only the purchase and sale prices, what was Drayton's compound annual growth rate (CAGR) on his investment? Answer in percent so if you think the answer is 36% enter 36.
2. Assuming the Astros have a beta of 1, was the project a good deal on a risk adjusted basis?
Yes. The CAGR beats the S&P
No. The CAGR beats the S&P
No. The CAGR is below the S&P
We don't have enough information to tell
The beta is not big enough to outperform the marekt
