Answer:
1 year rate 2 year from now = 12% (Approx)
Explanation:
Given:
1-year rate = 8%
2-year rate = 9%
3-year rate = 10%
Computation:
According to Pure Expectations Hypothesis,
(1 + 3-year rate)³ = (1 + 2-year rate)² (1 + 1 year rate 2 year from now)
(1.10)³ = (1 + 1.09)²(1 + 1 year rate 2 year from now)
1.331 = 1.1881 (1 + 1 year rate 2 year from now)
(1 + 1 year rate 2 year from now) = 1.12
1 year rate 2 year from now = 0.12
1 year rate 2 year from now = 12% (Approx)
Answer: The answer is $2,759.22
Explanation: From the question above, we have:
September 1st to January 1st is 4 months, this is 1/3 of a year which means that the student will earn:
=> 9/3 = 3%
3% interest for the money that is saved is the savings account. So the student must put in at least:
x + 3%x = 1400
x + 0.03x = 1400
1.03x = 1400
x = 1400 / 1.03
x = 1,359.22
Therefore, if the student saves $1,359.22 in the savings account By September 1st, she will have $1400 by January 1st.
Also, the student needs to make $1400 for the first semester. So overall she will need to make:
1,400 + 1,359.22 = $2,759.22 during the summer in order to ensure that she will have enough money to pay for both semesters.

Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. Marpor's value without leverage is
But before that first we have to calculate the required rate of return which is
The Required rate of return = Risk Free rate of return + Beta × market risk premium
= 5% + 1.1 × (15% - 5%)
= 16%
Now without leverage is
= Free cash flows generates ÷ required rate of return
= $16,000,000 ÷ 16%
= $100,000,000
b. And, with the new leverage is
= (Free cash flows with debt ÷ required rate of return) + (Tax rate × increase of debt)
= ($15,000,000 ÷ 0.16) + (0.35 × $40,000,000)
= $93,750,000 + $14,000,000
= $107,750,000
