1. The annual membership fee at your health club is $750 a year and is expected to increase at 5% per year. A life membership is $7,500 and the discount rate is 12%. In order to justify taking out the life membership, what would be your minimum life expectancy?

2. You are considering buying a car worth $30,000. The dealer, who is anxious to sell the car, offers you an attractive financing package. You have to make a down-payment of $3,500, and pay the rest over 3 years with monthly payments. The dealer will charge you interest at a constant APR of 2%, which is lower than the market interest rate.

   2. (2) Thedealeroffersyouasecondoption:youpaycash,butgeta$2,500discount.Shouldyougofor

      the loan or should you pay cash? Assume that the market annual interest rate (APR) is at 5%.

   3. A foundation announces that it will be offering one CUHK (SZ) scholarship every year for an indefinite number of years. The first scholarship is to be offered exactly one year from now. When the scholarship is offered, the student will receive ¥100,000 annually for a period of four years, beginning from the date the scholarship is offered. This student is then expected to repay the principal amount received (¥400,000) in 10 equal annual installments, interest-free, starting two years after the last payment of the scholarship. This implies that the foundation is really giving an interest-free loan under the guise of a scholarship. The current interest is 6% and is expected to remain unchanged.

      1. (1) What is the PV of the first scholarship (the scholarship includes both money given out to and the

         repayments received from the student)?

      2. (2) The foundation invests a lump sum to fund all future scholarships. Determine the size of the

         investment today.

b. Assume that the partners share profits and losses 4:3:2:1, respectively. Pineda retires and is paid $330,000 based on the terms of the original partnership agreement. If the bonus method is used, what is the capital balance of the remaining three partners? (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to the nearest dollar amounts.)

A project will produce an operating cash flow of $445,000 a year for four years. The initial cash outlay for equipment will be $1,195,000. The net aftertax salvage value of $61,000 will be received at the end of the project. The project requires 87,000 of net working capital up front that will be fully recovered. What is the net present value of the project if the required rate of return is 12 percent? $146,800.23 $181,219.28 $154,036.37 $172,811.69 $163,677.13

You are trying to value Apple’s stock as of the end of their fiscal year 2018. You’ve calculated their EBITDA from 2016 to 2018 as $61,429, $83,772, and $71,877. You’ve forecast their future EBITDA for the next five years as $81,312, $89,493, $98,496, $108,406, and $119,313. You’ve calculated their unlevered free cash flows from 2016 to 2018 as $44,932, $65,051, and $43,942. You’ve forecast their future unlevered FCFs for the next five years as $45,303, $58,936, $64,865, $71,391, and $78,574. You believe that the FCF in the first year after your forecast horizon will be $82,503, and the FCFs will grow at a constant rate of 5% forever after that time. You’ve calculated the firm’s WACC (discount rate) as 15%. The company currently has $100,000 in capital structure debt, $250,000 in total liabilities, $25,000 in cash, $100,000 in current assets, no minority interest, no employee stock options outstanding, and 3,000 shares outstanding. What is Apple’s implied stock price per share, based on this information? What is their implied price per share if you calculate the terminal value assuming an EBITDA multiple of 7? What is the implied stock price if you value the firm today using an EV/EBITDA multiple of 8? Show your work (you can do this in Excel if you’d like, just include all of your work).

If you could show me the process to this that would be greatly appreciated, Thanks
