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)

Travka [436]

Answer:

Correct option is (c)

An increase in input prices causes:___________
Svetach [21]

Answer: the market supply to shift inward, driving the equilibrium price higher.

Explanation:

An increase in input prices will result into a rise in the production costs. This will result in a leftward shift of the supply curve.

Therefore, the market supply will shift inward, driving the equilibrium price higher. This simply means that there will be lesser supply of the product and hence, increase in price.

Answer:

False

Ethical standards are are set of guiding principles that an organisation communicates to its employees as the expected way to do things.

In reaching beyond our borders it is not true that ethical standards of of its employees must be the same as for workers in the United States.

For example an employee living abroad does not spend his whole housing allowance on getting a place to stay as expected in the United States, but puts it to use on other endeavours.
