You are serving on a jury. A plaintiff is suing the city for injuries sustained after a freak street sweeper accident. In the trial, doctors testified that it will be five years before the plaintiff is able to return to work. The jury has already decided in favor of the plaintiff. You are the foreperson of the jury and propose that the jury give the plaintiff an award to cover the following: (1) The present value of two years’ back pay. The plaintiff’s annual salary for the last two years would have been $38,000 and $41,000, respectively. (2) The present value of five years’ future salary. You assume the salary will be $45,000 per year. (3) $100,000 for pain and suffering. (4) $17,000 for court costs.

Assume that the salary payments are equal amounts paid at the end of each month. If the interest rate you choose is an EAR of 9 percent, what is the size of the settlement? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Making an investment (FV Function): long term

You told Jane about your calculation result and Jane is very impressed by your ability of using the FV function. She says that she would like to save more. Now she wants to know if she is able to deposit $3,000.00 in a mutual fund account each year as a lump sum, and let it grow for 30 years, how much money would she receive at the end of 30 years.

Before she makes a decision about how much she would deposit for each year, she wants to do a comparison about how the initial deposit amount affect the end result. She figures out that she would be able to make the deposit between $2000 and $5000 each year. She will make the deposit at the beginning of each year.

She asks you to calculate this for her. Since the return (rate) of the mutual fund varies, sometimes it could be negative, we will just assume that the rate varies from 3.5% to 8%. Therefore, in your calculation, you need to include the following annual interest/return rate: 3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, 5%, 5.5%, 6%, 6.5%, 7%, 7.5%, 8%.

For the principal/deposit for each year, you will need to include: $2,000, $3,000, $4,000, $5000.

Use a table to calculate how much Jane would receive at the end of 30 years for different deposit amount and rates.

You must use the FV function.

You must use proper cell reference. You will set up the formula one Excel cell in such a way that you can drag and fill out the rest of the table.

Upton Computers makes bulk purchases of small computers, stocks them in conveniently located warehouses, ships them to its chain of retail stores, and has a staff to advise customers and help them set up their new computers. Upton's balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, is shown here (millions of dollars): Cash $ 3.5 Accounts payable $ 9.0 Receivables 26.0 Notes payable 18.0 Inventories 58.0 Line of credit 0 Total current assets $ 87.5 Accruals 8.5 Net fixed assets 35.0 Total current liabilities $ 35.5 Mortgage loan 6.0 Common stock 15.0 Retained earnings 66.0 Total assets $122.5 Total liabilities and equity $122.5 Sales for 2016 were $475 million and net income for the year was $14.25 million, so the firm's profit margin was 3.0%. Upton paid dividends of $5.7 million to common stockholders, so its payout ratio was 40%. Its tax rate was 40%, and it operated at full capacity. Assume that all assets/sales ratios, (spontaneous liabilities)/sales ratios, the profit margin, and the payout ratio remain constant in 2017. Do not round intermediate calculations. If sales are projected to increase by $80 million, or 16.84%, during 2017, use the AFN equation to determine Upton's projected external capital requirements. Enter your answer in millions. For example, an answer of $1.2 million should be entered as 1.2, not 1,200,000. Round your answer to two decimal places. $ million Using the AFN equation, determine Upton's self-supporting growth rate. That is, what is the maximum growth rate the firm can achieve without having to employ nonspontaneous external funds? Round your answer to two decimal places. % Use the forecasted financial statement method to forecast Upton's balance sheet for December 31, 2017. Assume that all additional external capital is raised as a line of credit at the end of the year and is reflected (because the debt is added at the end of the year, there will be no additional interest expense due to the new debt). Assume Upton's profit margin and dividend payout ratio will be the same in 2017 as they were in 2016. What is the amount of the line of credit reported on the 2017 forecasted balance sheets? (Hint: You don't need to forecast the income statements because the line of credit is taken out on last day of the year and you are given the projected sales, profit margin, and dividend payout ratio; these figures allow you to calculate the 2017 addition to retained earnings for the balance sheet without actually constructing a full income statement.)

Filer Manufacturing has 5,336,582 shares of common stock outstanding. The current share price is $27.73, and the book value per share is $8.17.

  1. Construct profit diagrams at expiration time to show what position in IBM puts, calls and/or underlying stock best expresses the investor’s objectives described below.

    IBM currently sells for $150 so that profit diagrams between $100 and $200 in $10 increments are appropriate. Also assume that at-the-money puts and calls currently

cost $20 each. The call with strike $140 costs $25 and the call with strike $160 costs $17.

  1. (a) An investor wants to benefit from IBM price drops, but does not want to lose more than $20 on the investment.

  2. (b) An investor wants to capture profits if IBM price declines and losses if IBM price increases. The investor wants to break even if IBM price does not change.

  3. (c) An investor wants to bet that the upcoming IBM earnings announcement is very close to market expectations—meaning that the price will not move by more than $10 dollars.
