An American Hedge Fund is considering a one-year investment in
an Italian government bond with a one-year maturity and a
euro-denominated rate of return of i€ = 5%. The
bond costs €1,000 today and will return €1,050 at the end of one
year without risk. The current exchange rate is €1.00 = $1.50. U.S.
dollar-denominated government bonds currently have a yield to
maturity of 4 percent. Suppose that the European Central Bank is
considering either tightening or loosening its monetary policy. It
is widely believed that in one year there are only two
possibilities:
S1 ($|€) = €1.80 per €
S1 ($|€) = €1.40 per €
Following revaluation, the exchange rate is expected to remain
steady for at least another year.
Using your results to the last question, make a recommendation
vis-à-vis when to buy the bond.

Greenfield has a net debt of $1,950 at the end of 2019. Assume that free cash flow will grow at 4 percent per year in 2024 and 2025, after that this will grow at 5 percent per year. Greenfield had 425 million shares outstanding at the end of 2019, trading at $72.5 per share. Using a required return of 9 percent, calculate the following for Greenfield at the beginning of 2020 (You have to fill in the table below, and also show your working process):

We are evaluating a project that costs $1,920,000, has a 6 year life, and no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is staright-line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at 94,000 units per year. Price per unit is $38.43, variable cost per unit is $23.60 and fixed costs are $839,000 per year. The tax rate is 23 percent and we require a return of 12 percent on this project.
Suppose the projections given for the price, quantity, variable costs, and fixed costs are all accurate within 10 percent. Calculate the best-case and worst-case NPV figures.

"A company bought a machine for $138,000. The machine was
depriciated using a 5 year MACRS approach. After 3 years, the
machine was sold at a salvage value of $83,500. Assuming a tax rate
of 27%, what are the net proceeds from the sale of the
machine?
(Hint: You will want to take your salvage values and add/subtract
gains due to the sale.)"

Failure rate of electrical components manufactured by a company is 6 every year, and the time to failure of each component follows the exponential distribution. Write the failure density, failure distribution function and survival function of each component. Hence,(
a) calculate the probability that any one component supplied by the company will fail in less than half a year.
b) determine the probability that any one component will survive more than 10 months.
c) determine the mean, median and standard deviation of the failure time of any one component supplied by the company. Hence, deduce the shape of the failure density you gave in part (a).
