Nestlé of Switzerland is revisiting its cost of equity analysis. As a result of extraordinary actions by the Swiss Central Bank, the Swiss bond index yield (10-year maturity) has dropped to a record low of %. The Swiss equity markets have been averaging % returns, while the Financial Times global equity market returns, indexed back to Swiss francs, stands at %. Nestlé's corporate treasury staff has estimated the company's domestic beta at , but its global beta (against the larger global equity market portfolio) at . a. What is Nestlé's cost of equity based on the domestic portfolio for a Swiss investor?
b. What is Nestlé's cost of equity based on a global portfolio for a Swiss investor?

The numbers are missing, so I looked for similar questions to fill in the blanks:

Rf (Switzerland) = 0.54%

Rm (Switzerland) = 8.5%

Beta (Switzerland) = 0.919

Rm (global) = 9.06%

Beta (global) = 0.532

a. What is Nestlé's cost of equity based on the domestic portfolio for a Swiss investor?

Re (Switzerland) = Rf + [Beta x (Rm - Rf) = 0.54% + [0.919 x (8.5% - 0.54%)] = 0.54% + 7.32% = 7.86%

b. What is Nestlé's cost of equity based on a global portfolio for a Swiss investor?

Re (global) = Rf + [Beta x (Rm - Rf) = 0.54% + [0.532 x (9.06% - 0.54%)] = 0.54% + 4.53% = 5.07%

a progressive tax is a tax that imposes a lower tax rate on low-income earners compared to those with a higher income, making it based on the taxpayer's ability to pay. that means it takes a bigger percentage from high income earners than it does from low income people.

wheres the chart? so i can answer.
