I believe it is C. Its wrong to go on to another's property, no matter how small, it is punishable by time in jail. With the warrant they have to let you search the premisis if you believe the stolen property is there.
Answer: The present value of the new drug is $19.33 million
We follow these steps to arrive at the answer:
Expected Revenues from the drug in year 1(P) $2 million
Growth Rate (g) 2% p.a.
No. of years (n) 17 years
Discount rate (r) 9% p.a.
Since the revenues are expected to grow at a constant rate of 2% p.a, we can treat this series of cash flows as a <u>growing annuity. </u>
We calculate the Present Value of a growing annuity with the following formula:
![PV = \frac{P}{r-g}*\left [ 1- \left (\frac{1+g}{1+r}\right)^{n}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=PV%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7BP%7D%7Br-g%7D%2A%5Cleft%20%5B%201-%20%5Cleft%20%28%5Cfrac%7B1%2Bg%7D%7B1%2Br%7D%5Cright%29%5E%7Bn%7D%5Cright%5D)
Substituting the values we get,
![PV = \frac{2}{0.09-0.02}*\left [ 1- \left (\frac{1+0.02}{1+0.09}\right)^{17}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=PV%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7B0.09-0.02%7D%2A%5Cleft%20%5B%201-%20%5Cleft%20%28%5Cfrac%7B1%2B0.02%7D%7B1%2B0.09%7D%5Cright%29%5E%7B17%7D%5Cright%5D)
![PV = \frac{2}{0.07}*\left [1- 0.323558233\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=PV%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7B0.07%7D%2A%5Cleft%20%5B1-%200.323558233%5Cright%5D)
