Bonnie and Clyde are married and have purchased a comprehensive major medical policy which covers them and their two sons, Smith and Wesson. The policy has a $500 calendar year family deductible, a $2,500 stop-loss provision, and an 80% co-insurance clause. The following losses occur: On January 1, 2013 Bonnie was treated for an infection at a cost of $200, on July 1, 2013 Smith was treated for an injury suffered while waterskiing at a cost of $10,000, on December 5, 2013 Clyde underwent eye surgery at a cost of $1,500, and on January 5, 2014 Wesson was treated for a broken leg at a cost of $2,000. How much will the insurer pay for each of these losses?

Precisely 15 years ago (you have just made the 180th monthly payment) you took out a traditional, fixed rate 30-year mortgage for $300,000 at 7.20% APR. You are considering whether to refinance this loan and replace it with a fixed rate 15-year mortgage (assume an identical timing of the remaining payments). The closing costs are $3,000, which you intend to borrow. Disregarding the psychic cost of the process, please find the breakeven interest rate (i.e. the rate at which you would be indifferent between refinancing vs. keeping the existing mortgage). Express your answer as an APR with 3 digits after the decimal point.

• Opportunity A: a "me-too" oncology drug currently in Phase 3 clinical trials that requires a $100 million investment today (year 0), and if successful, provides annual profits of $100 million over its remaining 10 year patent starting in year 3 (otherwise it returns nothing). Suppose the probability of success is 50%.
• Opportunity B: a combination therapy of blinatumomab and chemotherapy designed to cure acute lymphoblastic leukemia that requires a $200 million investment today (year 0), and if successful, provides annual profits of $2 billion over its remaining 10 year patent starting in year 11 (otherwise it returns nothing). Suppose the probability of success is 5%.

Expected annual cash flow = $___ million

B) What are the expected cash flows of opportunity B for years 11 to 20? (Note: Your answer should be expressed in units of millions of dollars.)

Let's say you deposited ​$150,000 in a 529 plan​ (a tax advantaged college savings​ plan) hoping to have ​$410,000 available 15 years later when your first child starts college. ​ However, you​ didn't invest very​ well, and 2 years later the account balance dropped to ​$130,000. ​ Let's look at what you need to do to get the college savings plan back on track. a.  What was the original annual rate of return needed to reach your goal when you started the fund 2 years​ ago? b. With only ​$130,000 in the fund and 13 years remaining until your first child starts​ college, what annual rate of return would the fund have to make to reach your ​$410,000 goal if you add nothing to the​ account? c.  Shocked by your experience of the past 2 ​years, you feel the college fund has invested too much in​ stocks, and you want a​ low-risk fund in order to ensure you have the necessary ​$410,000 in 13 years. You are willing to make​ end-of-the-month deposits to the fund as well. You find you can get a fund that promises to pay a guaranteed annual return of 4.5 percent which is compounded monthly. You decide to transfer the ​$130,000 to this new fund and make the necessary monthly deposits. How large of a monthly deposit must you make into this new​ fund? d.  After seeing how large the monthly deposit would be​ (in part c of this​ problem), you decide to invest the ​$130,000 today and ​$400 at the end of each month for the next 13 years into a fund consisting of 50 percent stock and 50 percent bonds and hope for the best. What APR would the fund have to earn in order to reach your ​$410,000 ​goal? -Round to two decimal places

1. Company Z is evaluating a project that will increase annual sales by $150,000 and annual cash costs by $115,000. The project will initially require $98,000 in fixed assets that will be depreciated straight-line to a zero book value over the 4-year life of the project. The applicable tax rate is 32 percent. What is the NPV of this project if the required rate of return is 7% and the fixed assets required for the project will be scrapped at the end of the project?

I need the NPV of this project. Tax Rate is 40% and the WACC is 11.49%

This project requires an initial investment of $2,000,000 in equipment which will cost an additional $250,000 to install. The firm will use the attached MACRS depreciation schedule to expense this equipment. Once the equipment is installed, the company will need to increase net working capital by $100,000. The project will last 6 years at which time the market value for the equipment will be $30,000.

The project will project a product with a sales price of $120.00 per unit and the variable cost per unit will be $65.00. The fixed costs would be $500,000 per year. Because this project is very different to current products sold by the business, management has imposed a 2 percentage point premium above its current WACC as the valuation hurdle it must meet or surpass.

Years 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 Forecasted Units Sold 21,000 55,000 44,000 28,000 25,000 11,000

DataPoint Engineering is considering the purchase of a new piece of equipment for $280,000. It has an eight-year midpoint of its asset depreciation range (ADR). It will require an additional initial investment of $180,000 in nondepreciable working capital. $45,000 of this investment will be recovered after the sixth year and will provide additional cash flow for that year. Income before depreciation and taxes for the next six are shown in the following table. Use Table 12–11, Table 12–12. Use Appendix B for an approximate answer but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods.

The tax rate is 25 percent. The cost of capital must be computed based on the following:

a. Determine the annual depreciation schedule. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your depreciation base and annual depreciation answers to the nearest whole dollar. Round your percentage depreciation answers to 3 decimal places.)

b. Determine the annual cash flow for each year. Be sure to include the recovered working capital in Year 6. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

c. Determine the weighted average cost of capital. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)

d-1. Determine the net present value. (Use the WACC from part c rounded to 2 decimal places as a percent as the cost of capital (e.g., 12.34%). Do not round any other intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

d-2. Should DataPoint purchase the new equipment?
