A Pharma company has recently recruited 4 scientists at an average age of 27 and is looking to develop quite a few pharmacological formulations. With a view to retain them the company proposes to offer a housing scheme to them on the following terms and conditions:

1. The number of beneficiaries will be four in number
2. The total cost of purchasing apartments will be Rs.1 crore
3. PNBHFL offers an 18 year term @ 9.00% interest and HDFC offers 15 years term @ 8% interest.
4. The company will pay the housing finance company on an installment basis.
5. A Down payment of 5% of the cost of the apartment has to be made and recoverable from the employee in 24 installments. The upfront payment will be made by the company.
6. In case of availing the loan from HDFC, 50% of the installment will be recovered from the employee on a monthly basis and in case of availing the loan from PNBHFL 45% will be recovered from the employee. The option of choosing the service rests with the company only.
7. Assume that employee deductions happen on the first day of the month and housing loan payments made by the company happens on the last day of the year.
8. The housing loan is offered on a fixed interest basis and EMI will not change.
9. Assume the individual apartments are of equal value.

You are called upon to do the following:

1. Calculate the two EMI options and choose the best one.

1. You are offered the opportunity to develop a 400,000 sf warehouse facility for General Foods in suburban Philadelphia. Attracted by your expertise as a local warehouse developer, General Foods has offered to sign a triple net lease for seven years at a rent for $2 million per year. They also insist that at the end of the lease term they have the option to purchase the property at $22 million. Their final major condition is that the project be completed and ready for occupancy in 11 months. If it is not complete by that time the deal is void.

You estimate that the property will cost $20 million to complete (including all costs) and that you should be able to complete it within ten months if you commence construction immediately. You believe that you can obtain a construction cost guarantee that should guarantee costs will not exceed $20.5 million. You believe that you will be able to obtain a $14 million to $15 million, seven-year, 25-year amortization loan, at a fixed interest rate of 8%, and a 50 basis point fee. You believe that you can close this loan in six to eight weeks from now.

You believe that your company can access approximately $8 million in equity, assuming that you can successfully tap into appreciated equity positions in three existing properties without triggering capital gains taxes on these positions. Your company will receive a development fee of roughly 3% of project costs (this cost is included in your $20 million cost estimate).

Finally, vacancy rates in the market are approximately 4%, gross rents in the market run $7-9 psf, with operating expenses and taxes running $2-$4 psf. Negotiations are over and it is time to make a decision.

Should you agree to develop the property? Give your reasons.

38. Ruff Motors needs to select an assembly line for producing their new SUV. They have two options:

    • Option A is a highly automated assembly line that has a large up-front cost but low maintenance cost over the years. This option will cost $9 million today with a yearly operating cost of $2 million. The

      assembly line will last for 5 years and be sold for $5 million in 5 years.

    • Option B is a cheaper alternative with less technology, a longer life, but higher operating costs. This

      option will cost $5 million today with an annual operating cost of $2.5 million. This assembly line will last for 8 years and be sold for $1 million in 8 years.

      The firm’s cost of capital is 12%. Assume a tax rate of zero percent. The equivalent annual cost (EAC) of better option should be $_______ million.

Is this an observational or experimental study? 2. Define the control group. 3. Define the experimental group. 4. What is (are) the independent variable(s)? 5. Suggest a way of measuring the independent variable(s). 6. What is (are) the dependent variable(s)? 7. Suggest a way of measuring the dependent variable(s). 8. List three confounding variables. 9. How could the study on the second graders be designed in order to control for the confounding variables you listed?

Kelli Blakely is a portfolio manager for the Miranda Fund, a core large-cap equity fund. The market proxy and benchmark for performance measurement purposes is the S&P 500. Although the Miranda portfolio generally mirrors the asset class and sector weightings of the S&P, Blakely is allowed a significant amount of leeway in managing the fund. However, her portfolio holds only stocks found in the S&P 500 and cash.

Blakely was able to produce exceptional returns last year (as outlined in the table below) through her market timing and security selection skills. At the outset of the year, she became extremely concerned that the combination of a weak economy and geopolitical uncertainties would negatively impact the market. Taking a bold step, she changed her market allocation. For the entire year her asset class exposures averaged 50% in stocks and 50% in cash. The S&P’s allocation between stocks and cash during the period was a constant 97% and 3%, respectively. The risk-free rate of return was 2%.

c. What is the Treynor measure for the Miranda Fund and the S&P 500? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)

This is the third time im submitting this question as no one will answer the 4th question. Part 4) this has not been answered on chegg yet. the response you gave to this was also not to part 4. please answer the very last question in relation to portfolio construction A newly issued bond has the following characteristics: Par value = $1000 Coupon rate = 8% Yield to Maturity = 8% Time to maturity = 15 years Duration = 10 years Calculate modified duration using the information above. If the yield to maturity increases to 8.5%, what will be the change (in dollar amount) in bond price? Identify the direction of change in modified duration if: i. the coupon of the bond is 4%, not 8%. ii. the maturity of the bond is 7 years, not 15 years. How can you construct a portfolio with a duration of 8 years using this bond and a 5 year zero coupon bond?

Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression during seasons with less daylight (e.g., winter months). One therapy for SAD is phototherapy, which is increased exposure to light used to improve mood. A researcher tests this therapy by exposing a sample of SAD patients to different intensities of light (low, medium, high) in a light box, either in the morning or at night (these are the times thought to be most effective for light therapy). All participants rated their mood following this therapy on a scale from 1 (poor mood) to 9 (improved mood). The hypothetical results are given in the following table. Light Intensity Low Medium High Time of Day Morning 5 5 7 6 6 8 4 4 6 6 7 9 5 9 5 6 8 8 Night 5 6 9 8 8 6 6 7 6 7 5 8 3 9 7 3 8 6 (a) Complete the F-table and make a decision to retain or reject the null hypothesis for each hypothesis test.
