The airport will have an effective gross income of $30 million over the next year and operating expenses that are 20% of effective gross income over the forecast horizon after being $10 million this year due to a major renovation. The effective gross income is expected to continue to grow at the rate of the local economy which is a steady 3.25%. A going-in cap rate based on some fairly stale comparables in this highly illiquid market is 6.75% and the going-out cap rate is forecast to be the same.

The seaport enjoyed $38 million in effective gross income last year but this will only grow at 1% a year due to deglobalization effects. Last year operating expenses were $9.5 million but they are expected to grow at the local rate of inflation of 7.5% which will decline linearly in time before hitting the central bank target of 2% (where it will remain thereafter) in 10 years time. The pension plan requires a 12% return on an asset like this and the going out cap rate is expected to be 9% when the host country has completed its industrialization and transition to a consumer economy.

Calculate the value of each of these properties but just as importantly your portfolio manager wants you to produce margins of error where you assume each going-out cap rate was off by 25%

  1. Nike has a project that will produce cash flows $200 next year if the economy is strong and $50 if the economy is weak. Suppose the corporate tax rate is 0. The economy will be strong with probability 50%. Nike issued both debt and equity to raise funds out of this project as much as possible. Specifically, Nike raised $60 by issuing debt with a face value $80. So, the creditors will receive $80 in total if the economy is strong but receive only $50 if the economy is bad because Nike defaults in this case. Nike also raised $50 by issuing equity as much as possible. The market risk premium is 7% and the risk-free rate is 5%. The entrepreneur of Nike has no equity shares in her firm. Now, suppose there is another shoes company, New Balance. This firm also has a project that will produce $200 next year if the economy is strong and $50 if the economy is weak. But the entrepreneur of New Balance wants to raise only $40 by issuing debt to avoid the chance of default. Assuming issued at risk-free rate and face value of $42 on the debt. She also plans to issue equity to raise funds as much as possible out of her project.
  1. Suppose investor A is a single investor of Nike, who holds all the bonds and equities issued by Nike. Also, suppose investor B is a single investor of New Balance. The payoffs to these two investors will be the same?
  2. If yes, how much can New Balance raise from equity holders? Does the total amount of funds that can be raised depend on the default risk of a firm?
  3. What’s the expected return of equity for New Balance? What’s the equity beta?
  4. What’s the cost of capital of New Balance?

Logan is a 7 year old boy who was taken to the hospital for possible overdose. After arriving and treatment it was determined that the boy took his mothers suboxone. She cannot account for her were abouts when he took the drug and does not know how much he took or how he got it. Since, he has been removed from the care of his mother and placed in the care of his grandmother (his dads mother). His father is incarcerated for drug possession and manufacturing drugs and has been for the majority of his life. His mother failed her drug screen for drugs not prescribed from DSS when they arrived to the hospital. His mother is unemployed and cannot seem to hold a job. Logan and his mother live with his mothers grandmother, logans great grandmother. She is 80 years old. His great grandmother is the one who takes on all duties of parenting due to his mothers drug addiction. He sleeps with his great grandmother at night and she takes him to and from school and extracurricular activities. She fails to discipline him because he is stronger than her and she feels guilty because of his parents. Due to the fact that his mother lives in the home he has been placed out of the home with the closest relative.

Logan is suffering academically and acting out emotionally. He is not controlling his emotions and cries every morning after drop off. Logan responds positively to the assistant principal, who is a Male. He is able to calm Logan down and helps him one on one. He is having anger outbursts during class and refuses to participate in certain activities. He does not seem to have much of an appetite at school or at home. He has been bullying other kids at school and is also getting bullied because of his situation at home. His grandmother has set rules that she expects him to follow. She has created a chore chart for him and if he completes the tasks listed he gets rewarded. Logan is not use to this type of structure. He is struggling to complete simple tasks like making his bed in the morning and picking his clothes up out of the floor. This is all new to him because his great grandmother did everything.

Logans grandmother is trying to make a bad situation bearable, but she is struggling. She has been active in working with his caseworker, assistant principal and school counselors to try to find solutions to his behavior. His great grandmother is trying to stay involved and help without involving his mother in the process. She is also allowing supervised visits by the caseworker with his mother in hopes of reunification one day. At this point, nothing is working. Logan still seems emotionally unstable and is acting out. His teachers have reported that on the days of his visits with his mother, his behavior gets more aggressive. He does well when its library day for his class and is making strides reading, but suffering in all other areas.

I have to reply to the post above based off the criteria below. I am struggling quite a bit.

Use 1 theory from Chapter 1 (Freud, Erikson, Piaget, learning theory, bioecological theory, or nature vs. nurture). Demonstrate how the theory can help explain the presenting issue in the case.

From Chapters 2 and 3, identify 1 element of brain development, stress response, or cognitive development that is relevant to the case and explain why.

From Chapter 4, discuss the influence of parenting style or attachment in your classmates’ case.

Conclude by suggesting 1 environmental modification that would be useful as an intervention to this case.

Bonds often pay a coupon twice a year. For the valuation of bonds that make semiannual payments, the number of periods doubles, whereas the amount of cash flow decreases by half. Using the values of cash flows and number of periods, the valuation model is adjusted accordingly.

Assume that a $1,000,000 par value, semiannual coupon U.S. Treasury note with two years to maturity has a coupon rate of 3%. The yield to maturity (YTM) of the bond is 11.00%. Using this information and ignoring the other costs involved, calculate the value of the Treasury note:

$859,794.00

$730,824.90

$541,670.22

$1,031,752.80

Based on your calculations and understanding of semiannual coupon bonds, complete the following statements: • Assuming that interest rates remain constant, the T-note’s price is expected to_______ .

• The T-note described is selling at a_________.

• When valuing a semiannual coupon bond, the time period variable (N) used to calculate the price of a bond reflects the number of_________ periods remaining in the bond’s life.
