sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Alternatives                                          Airport at X Airport at Y

Buy land at X                                                 6             -14

Buy land at Y                                               -21             12

Buy land at X and Y                               -15                 -2      

Do nothing                                                 0              0

probability                                                   0.55              0.45

Payoff if you buy land at X = (0.55 x 6) + (0.45 x -) = -3

Payoff if you buy land at Y = (0.55 x -21) + (0.45 x 12) = -6.15

Payoff if you buy land at X and Y = (0.55 x -15) + (0.45 x -2) = -9.15

Payoff for doing nothing = 0

The best option is simply doing nothing. The risks are too high, the potential losses are very large and the benefits are really low.

kondor19780726 [428]

Number of shares: 410,000

Share price: $47

IF THE COMPANY USES STRAIGHT VOTING:

STEP 1: If the company uses straight voting, then the number of shares it should own would be half of the shares plus one share, in order to guarantee that the enough votes are received to win the election.

Number of shares needed = (Number of shares available for voting ÷ 2) + 1

Number of shares needed = (410,000 ÷ 2) + 1

Number of shares needed = 205,001

STEP 2: Total cost will be the product of share price and number of shares needed.

Total Cost = Share Price × Number of shares needed

Total Cost = $ 47 × 205,001

Total Cost = $ 9,635,047

<u>It will cost $9,635,047 if the company uses straight voting.</u>

IF THE COMPANY USES CUMULATIVE VOTING :

STEP 1: If the company uses cumulative voting, you need 1/(N+1) percent of stock plus one share to get maximum number of votes to win the election.

Percent of stock needed = [1 ÷ (N + 1)] * 100

Percent of stock needed = [1 ÷ (3 + 1)]* 100

Percent of stock needed = (1 ÷ 4) * 100

Percent of stock needed = 25%

So the number of shares purchased = (410,000 × 25%)

Number of shares purchased = 102,500

Total Cost = Number of shares purchased × Share Price

Total Cost = 102,500 × $47

Total Cost = $4,817,500

It will cost $4,817,500 if the company uses cumulative voting.
