Venture capitalists rely relatively heavily on criteria relating to characteristics of the inventor (for example, whether he/she is capable of sustained effort) when deciding whether to fund a new innovation-based venture. On the other hand, internal review procedures tend to rely relatively heavily on criteria relating to characteristics of the invention (for example, whether the invention is technically feasible). (a) [25 marks] Explain the meaning of the terms “adverse selection" and “moral hazard". (b) [25marks ]Describe the main characteristics of venture capital.

Two alternatives for purchasing a new printing machine (from providers A and B) are being considered for a production upgrade of a printing facility. Alternative A has a life of 2 years, first cost of $1200, annual reduction in maintenance cost (can be treated as revenue in this cash flow) of $650, and salvage value after 2 years of $250. Alternative B has a life of 3 years, first cost of $1650, annual reduction in maintenance cost of $790, and salvage value after 3 years of $250. MARR = 8%. Alternatives are replicable in the future. Calculate the NPW of each alternative. Show calculation steps leading to this choice and provide explanations whenever possible.

PROMPT:  The article contains a passage which says:  David Jacob, who joined S&P in 2008 to head its structured-finance sector, says he ran monthly reports explaining to his boss why S&P wasn’t selected to rate deals. The answer was almost always that its criteria were tougher than another’s.   “Little by little it weakens,” says Mr. Jacob, who lost his job in a reorganization in 2012 and is retired. “If you have the tightest criteria, who’s going to use you?…The incentives are wrong. They stayed wrong.”

Comment on the market for bond ratings, including who should pay the rating agency that does the work to rate the bonds

Two mutually exclusive alternatives are bring considered: A and B. Both alternatives cost $1,200 at the present. However, the pattern of revenue from them is different. Alternative A has the potential to bring more revenues later in the project life. The expected revenues of alternative A are: $350, $500, and $850 by the ends of years one to three, respectively. Alternative B promises more immediate cash inflow which is expected to diminish with time: $750, $300, and $100 by the ends of years one to three, respectively. Use MARR=8%.

a) Calculate the Internal Rate of Return of each alternative.

b) Which alternatives are feasible?

c) Calculate the Net Present Worth of each alternative and compare them.
