2. Look at the Apple options from below. Suppose you buy an October expiration call option with exercise price $100.

1. If the stock price in October is $105, will you exercise your call? What are the net profit and the rate of return if you exercise the call?  
2. Will you exercise the call if you had bought the October call with exercise price $95?
3. Will you exercise the option if you had bought an October put with exercise price $100?

13. NPV versus IRR Consider the following cash flows on two mutually exclusive projects for the Bahamas Recreation Corporation. Both projects require an annual return of 15 percent.

As a financial analyst for the company, you are asked the following questions.

1. If your decision rule is to accept the project with the greater IRR, which project should you choose?
2. Since you are fully aware of the IRR rule’s scale problem, you calculate the incremental IRR for the cash flows. Based on your computation, which project should you choose?
3. To be prudent, you compute the NPV for both projects. Which project should you choose? Is it consistent with the incremental IRR rule?

True or false with justification:

1. Financial Derivatives can be traded in the future markets. They include futures, options and bills.

2. Government bonds are issued by governments to finance the budget deficit, they are short term and less risky than stocks and corporate bonds.

3. The agency problem results from a manager’s concerns about corporate goals and can only be solved through stock options

Healthcare is expensive. It takes an enormous amount of capital to secure the necessary resources to finance the care delivery continuum. The cost and sources of that capital is critical to being able to understand the cost of conducting business in general and also forms the basis on which future projects can be evaluated on a quantitative basis (e.g., capital budgeting, lease financing, etc.).

For this discussion, do the following: Consider you are determining which type of financing to be used for a new project in your hospital. Your hospital is doing financially well and has money that can be used for financing—it also has a top credit rating that could be used for debt financing as well. Review the pros and cons of each financing opportunity. Discuss your selection for financing which would be optimal for your hospital. Why did you choose this option?

PC Shopping Network may upgrade its modem pool. It last upgraded 2 years ago, when it spent $105 million on equipment with an assumed life of 5 years and an assumed salvage value of $11 million for tax purposes. The firm uses straight-line depreciation. The old equipment can be sold today for $80 million. A new modem pool can be installed today for $150 million. This will have a 3-year life and will be depreciated to zero using straight-line depreciation. The new equipment will enable the firm to increase sales by $25 million per year and decrease operating costs by $10 million per year. At the end of 0 years, the new equipment will be worthless. Assume the firm’s tax rate is 35% and the discount rate for projects of this sort is 10%. a. What is the net cash flow at time 0 if the old equipment is replaced? (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in millions rounded to 2 decimal places.) b. What are the incremental cash flows in years 1, 2, and 3? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in millions rounded to 2 decimal places.) c. What are the NPV and IRR of the replacement project? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter the NPV in millions rounded to 2 decimal places. Enter the IRR as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)

Revenues generated by a new fad product are forecast as follows: Year Revenues 1 $40,000 2 30,000 3 20,000 4 10,000 Thereafter 0 Expenses are expected to be 40% of revenues, and working capital required in each year is expected to be 10% of revenues in the following year. The product requires an immediate investment of $53,000 in plant and equipment. a. What is the initial investment in the product? Remember working capital. b. If the plant and equipment are depreciated over 4 years to a salvage value of zero using straight-line depreciation, and the firm’s tax rate is 20%, what are the project cash flows in each year? Assume the plant and equipment are worthless at the end of 4 years. (Do not round intermediate calculations.) c. If the opportunity cost of capital is 12%, what is the project's NPV? (A negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) d. What is project IRR? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)

Better Mousetraps has developed a new trap. It can go into production for an initial investment in equipment of $6.3 million. The equipment will be depreciated straight line over 6 years to a value of zero, but in fact it can be sold after 6 years for $694,000. The firm believes that working capital at each date must be maintained at a level of 10% of next year’s forecast sales. The firm estimates production costs equal to $2.00 per trap and believes that the traps can be sold for $8 each. Sales forecasts are given in the following table. The project will come to an end in 6 years, when the trap becomes technologically obsolete. The firm’s tax bracket is 35%, and the required rate of return on the project is 10%. Use the MACRS depreciation schedule. Year: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Thereafter Sales (millions of traps) 0 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.6 0.8 0.5 0 a. What is project NPV? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in millions rounded to 4 decimal places.) b. By how much would NPV increase if the firm depreciated its investment using the 5-year MACRS schedule? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in whole dollars not in millions.)

Recent years have seen increased competition in many areas of finance. For example, commercial banks now face a number of other entities fighting for consumer deposits. Identify a financial services firm that has recently(past few years)entered a new market (it can be either a start-up company or an established firm moving into a new area). What market are they entering, and how are they trying to establish themselves or distinguish their offering from the competition? How have the other companies in the space responded? How do you think this will play out over time?

A bicycle manufacturer currently produces

308 comma 000

units a year and expects output levels to remain steady in the future. It buys chains from an outside supplier at a price of

$ 1.90

a chain. The plant manager believes that it would be cheaper to make these chains rather than buy them. Direct​ in-house production costs are estimated to be only

$ 1.40

per chain. The necessary machinery would cost

$ 279 comma 000

and would be obsolete after ten years. This investment could be depreciated to zero for tax purposes using a​ ten-year straight-line depreciation schedule. The plant manager estimates that the operation would require

$ 45 comma 000

of inventory and other working capital upfront​ (year 0), but argues that this sum can be ignored since it is recoverable at the end of the ten years. Expected proceeds from scrapping the machinery after ten years are
