3. (8 points) An analyst has collected data about Conyers Inc. and a world market index. Analysts estimate that the firms beta calculated with respect to U.S. markets is equal to 1.2 and the domestic risk premium is 7%. The appropriate risk-free return is 5 percent. The world index used implies an equity risk premium of 6 percent, and Conyers has a beta of 1.3 with respect to the world index. For the project they are considering in Chile, a segmented market risk premium of 14 percent is calculated and the segmented beta with respect to this factor is 0.7. The Chile's country credit spread is 12% and the market return standard deviation in Chile is 8.75% and the market return standard deviation in the U.S. is 3.5%.
