1. 001 100

10. 010 111

11. 011 001

100. 100 101

101. 101 000

110. 110 010

Suppose a company is about to start the following project, where all the dollar figures are in thousands of dollars. In year 0, the project requires a fixed cost of $12,000. The fixed costs is depreciated on the straight-line basis over five years, and there is a salvage value of $1,500 in year 5. The sales generated in years 1-5 are estimated to be 2,500 units, 3,200 units, 5,100 units, 3,400 units and 1,200 units. The costs of capital in year 1 is forecast to be 8.5% and decreases linearly by 0.2% for years 2 to 5, ending with 7.7% in year 5. The tax rate is forecast to be a constant 35.0%. Sales revenue per unit is forecast to be $8.50. Variable cost per unit is forecast to be $6.30. What is the project NPV?

On June 28, 1997, in Las Vegas, Nevada, heavyweight boxers Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield met for what was to be a night to remember. During the third round of the fight, a desperate Tyson bit off a piece of Holyfield’s ear. The fight continued until moments later when Tyson bit Holyfield’s other ear.1 Tyson was disqualified, and numerous fans were unhappy with the outcome. Some fans were so outraged they decided to sue Tyson, the fight promoters, and the telecasters, seeking a refund.2 The fans sued on the basis of, among other theories, a claim to being third-party beneficiaries to various contracts into which the defendants had entered.

2. If you were one of the fight promoters, what sorts of contractual duties would you have to the viewers?
