An oil-drilling company must choose between two mutually exclusive extraction projects, and each requires an initial outlay at t = 0 of $12.8 million. Under Plan A, all the oil would be extracted in 1 year, producing a cash flow at t = 1 of $15.36 million. Under Plan B, cash flows would be $2.2744 million per year for 20 years. The firm's WACC is 12.4%.

a) Construct NPV profiles for Plans A and B. Enter your answers in millions. For example, an answer of $10,550,000 should be entered as 10.55. If an amount is zero, enter "0". Negative values, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.

1. Identify each project's IRR. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.

   Project A: -------- %

   Project B: --------%

   Find the crossover rate. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.

   ----------- %

2. Is it logical to assume that the firm would take on all available independent, average-risk projects with returns greater than 12.4%?

   Yes or no

   If all available projects with returns greater than 12.4% have been undertaken, does this mean that cash flows from past investments have an opportunity cost of only 12.4%, because all the company can do with these cash flows is to replace money that has a cost of 12.4%? Yes or no

You are thinking to buy some convertible notes or bonds for Marty’s fixed income portfolio. You recall that we discussed Tesla’s recent issue of 2% convertible notes due May 15, 2024. Each $1000 note is convertible into 3.2276 common shares, equal to an initial conversion price of $309.83 per share, and the notes are non-callable. For a while following the issue, Tesla shares were trading below $200 a share, but as of last Friday Dec 13 they were up to $358.39. Demand for the convertible notes has been brisk, and as of Friday, the notes traded at 134.605 % of par.

At that price, what is the premium over conversion value for each note?

Similar maturity non-convertible notes issued by Tesla are yielding 5.3%. At that yield, what is the straight investment value of the notes? What is the current premium over investment value for each note?

Should we purchase the Tesla convertible notes for Marty’s portfolio? Why or why not?
