b. Suppose you discover that Chiptech’s competitor has developed a new chip that will eliminate Chiptech’s current technological advantage in this market. This new product, which will be ready to come to the market in two years, will force Chiptech to reduce the prices of its chips to remain competitive. This will decrease ROE to 19%, and, because of falling demand for its product, Chiptech will decrease the plowback ratio to 0.5. The plowback ratio will be decreased at the end of the second year, at t = 2: The annual year-end dividend for the second year (paid at t = 2) will be 50% of that year’s earnings. What is your estimate of Chiptech’s intrinsic value per share? (Hint: Carefully prepare a table of Chiptech’s earnings and dividends for each of the next three years. Pay close attention to the change in the payout ratio in t = 2.) (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Question 1
XYZ Ltd has spent £100,000 on research and development of a new product, expected to
have a short economic life of two years only. The product development manager has
recommended this production opportunity for consideration at the company's board. She
believes that the new product perfectly fits the firm's strategic plan. The new product has
already attracted the strong interest of a rival business, and if XYZ Ltd decides not to go
ahead with production, it can sell the patent rights to the competitor for £160,000.
The marketing manager has suggested that annual revenues will depend on whether the
demand for the new product is weak or strong, forecasting the following levels of annual
demand and the independent probability of each level of demand for the two years of the
project's life:

David, the owner of a local poster shop, comes to you for help. "We've only been breaking even the past two years, and I'm getting very
frustrated! I don't know what to do because I feel like I've already tried to improve our processes as much as possible, but we still
haven't been able to generate a profit. Do you have any suggestions as to how we can turn things around? I just don't think we can even
consider moving forward with this business unless we can earn $10,000 in operating income next year. Even then, we'll have to think
long and hard about what the future holds."

Problem 1
A group of doctors is considering the construction of a private clinic. IF the medical demand is high (favorable market for the clinic), the physicians could realize a profit of P1,000,000. If the market is not favorable they could lose P400,000. If they don’t proceed at all, there is no cost. In the absence of any market research, the best the physician can guess is that there is a 50-50 chance the clinic will be successful.
a firm open to conduct a market research involving the proposed venture and using analytical tools can give an accurate information, thus gave the following info:
Probability of a favorable market given a favorable study is 0.82
Probability of an unfavorable market given a favorable study is 0.18
Probability of a favorable market given an unfavorable study is 0.11
Probability of an unfavorable market given an unfavorable study is 0.89
