A company is going public at $20 and will use the ticker XYZ. The underwriters will charge a 7 percent spread. The company is issuing 16 million shares, and insiders will continue to hold an additional 32 million shares that will not be part of the IPO. The company will also pay $2.5 million of audit fees, $3.5 million of legal fees, and $900,000 of printing fees. The stock closes the first day at $23. What are the total costs of going public for XYZ as a percentage of the total pre-cost equity value? In calculating the pre-cost equity value, use the closing price of the stock at the end of the first day as the pre-cost equity value. Include underpricing in the calculation of the total costs of the offering. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.

You are considering buying a beach house as an investment property. The price today for the
beach house is $240,000. You can fully depreciate the house on a straight-line basis over a
thirty year period (and deduct this depreciation expense from your income taxes). The rent
you will charge on an annual basis will be $10,000. You will face maintenance costs of
$2,000 every year (also tax deductible). You intend to sell the property in ten years, and you
expect that during the next ten years the market value of the property will appreciate at an
annual rate of 5%. Assume that the tax rate for income on the property is 40%, and the tax
rate for capital gains on the property is 20%. Also, assume that the appropriate discount rate
for your calculations is 12%.

a) What is the NPV of the purchase of the property?
b) What is the IRR of the purchase of the property? Could you predict whether the IRR was
higher or lower than 12% without calculating it? If so, how?

Bonnie and Clyde the Houston’s company's pension fund management division, with Bonnie having responsibility for fixed income securities (primarily bonds) and Clyde being responsible for equity investments. A major new client, Ms. Victoria, has requested that Houston Company present an analysis of Sugar Land Company (SLC) she is considering to purchase.

Assume that Sugar Land (SLC) has a beta coefficient of 1.2, that the risk-free rate (the yield on 10-year Treasury-Note) is 7 percent, and that the market risk premium is 5 percent, (Survey of all analysts).

1. According to CAPM, what is the required rate of return on SLC’s stock?
2. Assume that Sugar Land is a constant growth company whose last dividend D0, was $2.0, and whose dividend is expected to grow indefinitely at a 6 percent rate.

Answer the followings:                                                                                   

a. What is the firm’s expected dividend stream over the next 3 years?             
b. What is the firm’s current stock price?
c. What is the stock's expected value 1 year from now?            
d. What is the expected dividend yield, the capital gains yield, and the total return during the first year?       
  
3. Now assume that the stock is currently selling at $30.29. No, other changes.

a. What is the expected rate of return on the stock?
b. What would the stock price be if its dividends were expected to have zero growth? (Zero growth model, K is the same but g=0)

A stock has a required return of 9%; the risk-free rate is 3%; and the market risk premium is 3%.

1. What is the stock's beta? Round your answer to two decimal places.
2. If the market risk premium increased to 8%, what would happen to the stock's required rate of return? Assume the risk-free rate and the beta remain unchanged.
   1. If the stock's beta is equal to 1.0, then the change in required rate of return will be greater than the change in the market risk premium.
   2. If the stock's beta is equal to 1.0, then the change in required rate of return will be less than the change in the market risk premium.
   3. If the stock's beta is greater than 1.0, then the change in required rate of return will be greater than the change in the market risk premium.
   4. If the stock's beta is less than 1.0, then the change in required rate of return will be greater than the change in the market risk premium.
   5. If the stock's beta is greater than 1.0, then the change in required rate of return will be less than the change in the market risk premium.

The MIT Whitehead Institute must choose between two cDNA microarray machines to expand their high-throughput genomic laboratory. Both of these machines have the same function, and the firm will only choose one vendor from which to purchase their machines.

The first machine, manufactured by Amersham Pharmacia (machine 1), will cost $350,000. The second machine, manufactured by PE Applied Biosystems (machine 2), will cost $300,000.

The cost of capital for both of these investments is 9.5%. The life for both machines is estimated to be 5 years. During this period, cash flows for machine 1 will be $17,000 per year and cash flows for machine 2 will be $8,000 per year. These cash flows include depreciation expenses.

Calculate the NPV and IRR for each machine using MS Excel. Then, select the best choice for the MIT Whitehead Institute. Under your analysis, briefly explain the reasoning for your decision and how it might impact operations over the next five years
