You have deposited $30,000 in a brokerage account with an initial margin of 60%. The broker charges a spread of .5 percent and the call money rate is 5.5%. If IBM shares are currently traded at $50, how many shares of IBM can you purchase? A year later, IBM shares are being traded at $60 and you sell your IBM stocks. Calculate your rate of return. What would have been your rate of return if you had purchased IBM using a cash account instead? What would have been your rate of return if , a year later, IBM stock were being traded at $40 per share- with and without a margin loan? What would you conclude?

Monty Industries is considering the purchase of new equipment costing $1,300,000 to replace existing equipment that will be sold for $194,000. The new equipment is expected to have a $223,000 salvage value at the end of its 4-year life. During the period of its use, the equipment will allow the company to produce and sell an additional 32,600 units annually at a sales price of $27 per unit. Those units will have a variable cost of $15 per unit. The company will also incur an additional $70,000 in annual fixed costs.

Identify the amount and timing of all cash flows related to the acquisition of the new equipment. (Enter negative amounts using a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45).)

Cross selling is a major activity at financial institutions.  One regional bank classifies its 100,000 individual customers into 4 groups: a) Basic services (checking, savings accounts), b) Lending (mortgages, loans), c) Investment (mutual funds, bonds), and d) Financial planning (retirement, trusts, comprehensive financial planning).

Customers in each of the four categories generate net (of servicing costs) revenue of $100, $200, $300, and $1,000 per year respectively.  Currently the mix of customers is 70%, 10%, 15%, and 5% in the four types.  Retention rates are 90% across the board.  Retention costs (note: these are different from servicing costs) per account are $80, $120, $150, and $200 respectively per year.  In order to improve performance, three major strategies are under consideration:

Increase net revenue per customer by 10% across the board

Change the customer mix to 60%, 15%, 18%, and 7%

Increase retention in Financial planning group to 95%

1.What is the CLV in each of the current customer categories? (Assume a 10% discount rate)

2.What would be the increase in the bank’s average CLV if each of the three suggested strategies were implemented separately? (assuming servicing costs are constant and same discount rate)

Use the formula for computing CLV

3. Suppose EMU Software is promoting its new tax preparation software. Its main competing

product is Turbotax’s software worth $50. EMU claims that for 30% of the time, its software

identifies additional savings of $110 for their customers compared to its closest competitor.

Also, EMU’s software is easier to use and it takes only 3 hours for its customer to use to

complete all its tax preparations. Turbotax’s software on the other hand takes 4 hours to do

the same. However, EMU Software is a new product and 5% of their customers may

experience a bug in the software. The delay in sorting that bug out will lead to an extra day

required for tax preparation using EMU Software for those customers. Assume that a typical

company accountant who would be hired to use the software earns $40 per hour. Calculate

the total economic value of EMU’s software. Note that one day is 8 working hours. (10
