Look at the profiles (financial statements for 2016) of each on yahoo finance and discuss the followings (you need to calculate these values yourself and show details of your calculations):
• How many outstanding shares the company has?
• What is the market value of the company?
• What is the book value of the company?
• What is the beta for the company?
• How do you find the risk free rate? (consider the market risk premium to be 8%)
• Using CAPM calculate the expected return on the equity for the company.

• What is the leverage (total debt/equity ratio) for the company?
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
