Problems: 1,3,4,5,6,7,8,12,17,18,19,21-24,28 & 31.
1. Honda Motor Company is considering offering a $2000 rebate on its minivan, lowering the vehicle’s price from $30,000 to $28,000. The marketing group estimates that this rebate will increase sales over the next year from 40,000 to 55,000 vehicles. Suppose Honda’s profit margin with the rebate is $6000 per vehicle. If the change in sales is the only consequence of this decision, what are its costs and benefits? Is it a good idea?

3. Suppose your employer offers you a choice between a $5000 bonus and 100 shares of the company’s stock. Whichever one you choose will be awarded today. The stock is currently trading at $63 per share.
a.
Suppose that if you receive the stock bonus, you are free to trade it. Which form of the bonus should you choose? What is its value?
Take the stock
b.
Suppose that if you receive the stock bonus you are required to hold it for at least one year. What can you say about the value of the stock bonus now? What will your decision depend on?
Take the cash because the value in the future is unknown.
4. Suppose Bank One offers an interest rate of 5.5% on both savings and loans, and Bank Two offers an interest rate of 6% on both savings and loans.
a.
What arbitrage opportunity is available? Take the loan with bank one, at 5.5%, and invest with bank two at 6%.
b.
Which bank would experience a surge in the demand for loans? Which bank would receive a surge in deposits? Demand for bank one, and surge for bank two.
c.
What would you expect to happen to the interest rates the two banks are offering? Bank One would increase its rate, or bank two would decrease its rate.
6. Some companies cross-list their shares, meaning that their stock trades on more than one stock
exchange. For example, BlackBerry (BB) trades on both the TSX and NASDAQ. If its price in
Toronto is 10 Canadian dollars per share and anyone can exchange Canadian dollars (CAD) for U.S. dollars (USD) at the rate of 0.95 USD/CAD, what must BB’s price be on NASDAQ?
BB’s stock would trade for $9.50 ($10 x 0.95) USD.
7. Bubba is a shrimp farmer. In an ironic twist, Bubba is allergic to shellfish, so he cannot eat any shrimp. Each day he has a one-tonne supply of shrimp. The market price of shrimp is $10,000 per tonne.
a.
What is the value of a tonne of shrimp to him?
b.
Would this value change if he were not allergic to shrimp? Why or why not?
8. Brett has almond orchards, but he is sick of almonds and prefers to eat walnuts instead. The owner of the walnut orchard next door has offered to swap this year’s crop with him in an even exchange. Assume he produces 1000 tonnes of almonds and his neighbour produces 800 tonnes of walnuts. If the market price of almonds is $1.00 per tonne and the market price of walnuts is $1.10 per tonne,
a.
Should he make the exchange?
Almonds = $1000, Walnuts = $880
b.
Does it matter whether he prefers almonds or walnuts? Why or why not? NO.
9. You have $100 and a bank is offering 5% interest on deposits. If you deposit the money in the bank, how much will you have in one year? $105
12. Excel Solution
A friend asks to borrow $55 from you and in return will pay you $58 in one year. If your bank is offering a 6% interest rate on deposits and loans,
a.
How much would you have in one year if you deposited the $55 instead?
b.
How much money could you borrow today if you will pay the bank $58 in one year?
c.
Should you lend the money to your friend or deposit it in the bank?
a. $58.30….$55 x (1 +r)….$55 x 1.06
b. $54.72….$5/(1+6%) c. You should deposit the fund in the bank…..Instructors advice, never lend out money to friends.
17. You are purchasing a new TV at Visions Electronics and the salesperson is trying to convince
you to buy a five-year extended warranty. The cost of the warranty to you today will be $399. However, if there is no claim against the warranty, you will get a store credit for $399 to spend five years from now. Assume you won’t have any problems with your TV and you plan on buying more electronics at Visions in five years (so you would be certain to use the store credit). Also assume the interest rate is 6% per year.
a.
What is the value to you today of the promised store credit? $399/(1.06)^5
= 298.15
b.
Given your answer to part (a), what is the net cost of the extended warranty? Net cost of the warranty is $100.84…(399 – 298.15)

vans cost $75,000.00 today, minus an electric vehicle tax credit $7,500.00 and the reduced maintenance and
fuel cost of $5,000. This brings today's MRC to $62,500.00 for each new electric van. The newer vans are
expected to increase future MRP by $12,000.00 each year and have a productive life for five years. At the end
of the fifth year, the firm expects to sell the used vans for a salvage value of $30,000.00. This firm is borrow-
