Answer:

a. 23%.

b. Frank should charge Sarah 2% more than the inflation rate.

Explanation:

a. Find the nominal rate of interest.

To find this value we must follow this equation:

NI=RI+IR

Where NI = Nominal Interest, RI= Real Interest, and IR= Inflation Rate.

a.1. Find the real interest rate.

The problem statement gives us this value: 2% real return per year, as agreed by Sarah and Frank.

a.2. Find the inflation rate.

Here we follow this equation:

IR=(\frac{CPI_{F} -CPI_{B} }{CPI_{B} } )*100

Where:

CPI(F) is the CPI of the final year, in this case, it would be 121 (the expected CPI for two years, which is the established loan time).

CPI (B) is the CPI of the base year, that is, the CPI in force at the time that Frank makes the loan, 100 in this case.

We replace these values:

IR=(\frac{121-100}{100} )*100

IR=(\frac{21}{100} )*100

IR=0.21*100

IR=21%

The inflation rate equals 21%.

a.3. Replace in the equation of the nominal rate of interest.

NI=RI+IR

NI=0.02+0.21

NI=0.23

So, the nominal rate of interest Frank should charge Sarah equals 23%.

b. Find out how much Frank should charge Sarah (regarding inflation and considering that it is unknown).

The inflation rate reduces the return expected by Frank. Therefore, the nominal interest rate charged must be higher than the inflation rate, in order to ensure a positive real returns. In this case, since it is not known exactly what that inflation rate is, Frank must charge 2% (expected return) above what the inflation rate can record.

Hence, the short answer is: Frank should charge Sarah 2% more than the inflation rate.

inna [77]

Answer:

SO expected return on Mkt Portfolio Rm = 10.75%

Explanation:

market degree of risk aversion A = 3

Var = 0.0225 = SD^2

Rf = 4%

What is expected return on Mkt Portfolio ie Rm??

According to CAPM, Rm-Rf = A*SD^2

where SD is Std Dev (Recall SD^2 = Variance)

A is market degree of risk aversion

So we have Rm-4% = 3*0.0225

ie Rm = 4% + 3*0.0225 = 10.75%

SO expected return on Mkt Portfolio Rm = 10.75%

You must estimate the intrinsic value of Lowell Technologies’ stock. The end-of-year free cash flow (FCF1) is expected to be $30
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

Firm's estimated intrinsic value per share of common stock = $40.00

Explanation:

Intrinsic value:

Intrinsic value is a way of describing the perceived or true value of an asset.

Formula:

Intrinsic value = free cash flow / required rate - growth rate

As the end-of-year free cash flow (FCF1) = $30  and it is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5.0% a year thereafter.

so FCF2 = 30 (1 + 5%)

FCF2 = 31.5

Value at year 1 = FCF2 / required rate - growth rate

Therefore by putting the values in the above formula, we get

Value at year 1 = 31.5 / 0.08 - 0.05

Value at year 1 = 31.5 / 0.03

Value at year 1 = 1,050

As the company’s WACC is 8.0%, so

Value today = 30 / (1 + 0.08)1 + 1,050 / (1 + 0.08)1

Value today = $1,000 million

As stated in the question it has $200 million of long-term debt, and there are 20.0 million shares of common stock outstanding.

Intrinsic value = (1,000 - 200) / 20

Intrinsic value = $40.00

In determining the fair value of an asset or liability, would the fair value of the asset or the fair value of the liability be
padilas [110]

In determining the fair value of the asset or liability the exit price should be used. A fair price means the price that the asset or liability would get when sold in the market. So, the pair price will be determined by calculating the market price of such goods or liabilities or at what rate these goods or liabilities will be sold in the market.

The entry price would not be the correct price as the asset or liability may have been bought by the company many years ago. So based on this, the price of these assets would have increased as in the case. Sometimes the prices of these assets would have also decreased. The same reason is applicable to liabilities also.

This is known as the appreciation and depreciation of assets and liabilities. So to remove the effect of this the fair value will be based only on the exit price.
