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)

A debtor owed a creditor $1,200 on a promissory note that was due on August 1. After the debtor told the creditor that he might
Ilya [14]

Answer:

The correct option is C. Yes, because the debtor incurred a different obligation than he already had.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete as the options are omitted. The question is therefore completed before answering the question by providing the options as follows:

A. No, because the debtor incurred no additional detriment that would serve as consideration for the new agreement.

B. Yes, because it would have cost the creditor $1,200 to purchase the entertainment system himself.

C. Yes, because the debtor incurred a different obligation than he already had.

D. Yes, because the new agreement between the debtor and the creditor is enforceable with or without

Explanation of the answer is now provided as follows.

It is possible to enforce the two parties' new agreement as an accord.

An accord can be described as an agreement in which one party to an existing contract agrees to accept some other, different performance from the other party in lieu of the performance that the other party is obligated to provide. In principle, an agreement must be backed by payment, but the consideration can be less than the amount agreed upon in the preceding contract if it is of a different character or the claim is to be paid to a third party. The responsibility of the debtor to supply the creditor with a new entertainment system was enough fresh consideration to constitute a legal agreement in this case.

When a party's responsibility is modified in some way, as the debtor's duty was in this case, the preceding legal duty rule does not apply. It makes no difference whether the creditor's benefit in the accord arrangement is equal to the original debt's worth; courts will find appropriate consideration if the consideration is fresh or different in any way. The difference in the debtor's obligation, that is, payment is in the form of an entertainment system rather than cash) is enough to sustain the accord arrangement, regardless of how much the entertainment system would have cost the creditor.

The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) does not apply because the original agreement was not for the sale of goods. The underlying commitment in this case was to pay a debt secured by a promissory note.

Therefore, the correct option is C. Yes, because the debtor incurred a different obligation than he already had.

Analysis of a company's financial statements: Below are simplified versions of the balance sheet and income statement for Toys b
il63 [147K]

Answer:

The answer is:

A 15% increase in inventory turns for Toys by Tom, Inc. would bring this ratio to 4.8 times, suggesting improvement in efficiency.

Explanation:

We have the current Inventory turnover = COGS / Inventory = 41,700/10,000 = 4.17 times

=> An 15% increase in the Inventory turnover will bring the Inventory turnover ratio to: 4.17 x 1.15 = 4.8 times;

Increasing in inventory turnover may be the result of higher sales ( thus higher COGS) or low level of inventory holding - thus limiting the resources spending on idle inventory. So, higher level of inventory turnover in someways suggesting improvement in efficiency.
