You are the CFO of a major pharmaceutical firm. A division manager has presented senior management with an investment opportunit

y.
The project would require an investment of $95 million today

If the project succeeds, it will be worth $1 billion in a year. You estimate that there is only a 10% chance that the venture would succeed. If it fails, then in a year you will scrap the project and all of your firm’s $95 million investment will be lost.

Whether the venture succeeds or fails is independent of general market conditions.

The risk-free rate is 3%, the expected return of the market is 12%, and the standard deviation of the market return is 20%. Ignore taxes.

What is the NPV of the project?

$775 million

$870 million

$2.1 million

-$95 million

Answer: $2.1 million

Explanation:

It is mentioned the project is independent of the outcome of general market  which means that

=> beta = 0

Using the CAPM formula which is,

r=rt + B* (rm -rf)

=> r = 3% + 0*(12%-3%) = 3%

Expected value of Project in one year = $1 billions * 0.1

Expected value of Project in one year = $100 millions

NPV = Expected value of Project in one year/ (1 + 0.03) - Initial cost

NPV = 100/ (1 + 0.03) - 95

NPV = 97.1 - 95

NPV = $2.1 million

Answer:

$2.1 million

Explanation:

We solve for the expected monetary value at the end of the project:

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}State&Return&Probability&Weight\\success&1000&0.1&100\\fail&0&0.9&0\\Total&&1&100\\\end{array}\right]

Then, we have to know at which rate to discount this value so we use CAPM

Ke= r_f + \beta (r_m-r_f)

risk free = 0.03

market rate = 0.12

premium market = (market rate - risk free) 0.09

beta(non diversifiable risk) = 0 (independent from the market threfore no correlation.

Ke= 0.03 + 0 (0.09)

Ke 0.03000

Now we discount:

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity  $100.00

time  1.00

rate  0.03000

\frac{100}{(1 + 0.03)^{1} } = PV  

PV   97.0874

NPV: 97.0874 - 95 = 2.0874 we round up and get 2.10 presnet value (in millions)

Vesna [10]

The U.S. government should not have bailed out U.S. auto manufacturers.

Explanation:

  • After the inflation period during the 1930, which continued almost for the next 30 years, America increased its standard of living - payment of higher taxes. With an income that was to be paid to government and to be used for their living, Americans had a tough time for almost 10 years to come out of the inflation they faced. Recession was also a part of this period during Hoover's presidency.
  • Later, when Roosevelt was elected, his new ideals changed the phase of America which did not let the government stick to basic infrastructure of America. In this period, people of America unanimously agreed for the bailout of auto manufacturers with which, they earned revenue for other sector's development.
  • In 2009, when the contract with General Motors was disintegrated, which was created during the time of World War II, the government of America did not want to take any risk/was not ready to face an economic hit. This eventually led for a bail out.
  • With this step, in that period of time, it is an economically positive statement.
