Modify your program from Learning Journal Unit 7 to read dictionary items from
a file and write the inverted dictionary to a file. You will need to decide on
the following:

    * How to format each dictionary item as a text string in the input file.
    * How to convert each input string into a dictionary item.
    * How to format each item of your inverted dictionary as a text string in
      the output file.

Create an input file with your original three-or-more items and add at least
three new items, for a total of at least six items.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Unit 7 program:

Dr_Appointments = {'Mom':[2, 'April', 2020], 'Brother':[6, 'July', 2020], 'Sister':[6, 'January', 2021], }

def invert_dict(d):
inverse = dict()
for key in d:
    val = d[key]
    for val in val:
      if val not in inverse:
        inverse[val] = [key]
      else:
        inverse[val].append(key)
return inverse

print('Dr. Appointments:', Dr_Appointments)

print('Inverted Dr. Appointments:')
Invert_Appointments = invert_dict(Dr_Appointments)
print(Invert_Appointments)

This is the expanded dictionary: the Unit 7 plus three more:

Mom: 2, April, 2020,
Brother: 6, July, 2020,
Sister: 6, January, 2021,
Aunt: 2, December, 2021,

            You develop the following information. Your firm has a target capital structure of 70% common equity, 5% preferred stock and 25% debt. The firm’s tax rate is 25%.

The firm can issue up to $200,000 worth of debt at a before-tax cost of 9%. Then it will cost the firm 11% before-tax on debt up to $400,000. After that point, the before-tax cost of debt will be 13%.

The firm’s preferred stock carries an annual dividend of $2 per share. The issue price of the preferred would be $25 with 1.5% of the issue price charged as flotation costs.

The firm expects to have $950,000 in earnings and have a dividend payout ratio of 65%. The firm bases its cost of retained earnings on the CAPM approach. For this purpose, you determine the growth rate of the market will be 5% and the market dividend yield is 2%. The risk-free rate is 3%. The firm’s beta is 1.05.

The firm can issue new common stock with a $0.50 dividend, price of $20 per share, flotation costs of 1.75% of issue price and growth rate expected of 6%. This holds for up to $630,000 in equity after which it will cost 10% for new common stock.

1-Determine the marginal cost of capital schedule.

2-Determine which projects you would accept and what the optimal capital budget would be by combining the investment opportunity schedule (information below) and marginal cost of capital schedule.

Project       Initial Cost      IRR

A               $375,000         8.5%

B               $300,000         11%

C               $175,000         10%

D               $100,000         7.5%

E                $200,000         6%

You want to make a one-year investment in a fixed-income security. You have two investment choices: a Treasury security and a Treasury inflation-protected security (TIPS). The nominal interest rate for the Treasury security is 4% and TIPS promises 1% real interest rate. You use scenario analysis to compare two securities. There are two possible scenarios with equal probabilities: High inflation and low inflation. The inflation rate will be 0% in the low state and 6.1% in the high state. (Do not use % approximation by adding or subtracting)

(a) Compute nominal and real realized returns for each asset with respect to each inflation scenario, and calculate expected return of each asset. (Round to the nearest tenth)

Nominal Returns Before Taxes

Real Returns Before Taxes

b) According to (a), which security will investors choose?

c) Now suppose the investor is subject to tax with marginal tax rate 40%. Compute nominal and real realized returns for each asset with respect to each inflation scenario, and calculate expected return of each asset. (Round to the nearest tenth)

Nominal Returns Before Taxes

Real Returns After Taxes

(d) What security would the investor choose if the investor has to pay tax with marginal tax rate 40%?

e) Explain why expected return and risk of TIPS changed after taxes.
