Zeven Properties Limited (‘ZPL’) is a housebuilding contractor based in England specialising in building affordable private housing. ZPL’s shares are floated on the London Stock Exchange and are currently priced at £5 per share. The Board of Directors is planning an expansion, which will involve raising £10 million but has not decided on what form of finance should be raised. The Board is considering either a bank loan from the company’s existing bank (the Bank of Alba) or an equity investment from new shareholders. On a completely different topic, at a recent Board meeting one of the non-executive directors suggested that ZPL’s remuneration committee should consider scrapping the company’s current share option scheme, since executive directors could be rewarded by the scheme even when they did not perform well. A second non-executive director disagreed, saying the problem was that even when directors acted in ways which decreased the agency problem, they might not be rewarded by the…
The CEO of Garneau Cinemas is considering making a movie and must decide between a comedy and a thriller-it doesn't have the production space to make both. The comedy is expected to cost $20 million up front (at t = 0). After that, it is expected to make $11 million in the first year (at t = 1) and $4 million in each of the following two years (at t = 2 and t = 3). In the fourth year (at t = 5), it is expected that the movie can be sold into syndication for $2 million with no further cash flows back to Garneau Cinemas. The thriller is expected to cost $45 million up front (at t = 0). After that, it is expected to make $25 million in the first year (at t = 1) and $4 million in each of the following four years (at t = 2, 3, 4, and 5). In the sixth year (at t = 6), it is expected that the movie can be sold into syndication for $30 million with no further cash flows back to Garneau Cinemas. The cost of capital is 10%, and Garneau usually requires projects to have a payback within four…
Sarah Palin reportedly was paid a $11 million advance to write her book Going Rogue. The book took one year to write. In the time she spent writing, Palin could have been paid to give speeches and appear on TV news as a political commentator. Given her popularity, assume that she could have earned $8 million over the year (paid at the end of the year) she spent writing the book. Assume that once her book is finished, it is expected to generate royalties of $5 million in the first year (paid at the end of the year) and these royalties are expected to decrease by 40% per year in perpetuity. Assuming that Palin's cost of capital is 10% and given these royalties payments, the NPV of Palin's book deal is closest to:

Suppose Clinton decides to use $9,500 currently held as savings to make a financial investment. One method of making a financial investment is the purchase of stock or bonds from a private company. Suppose Arcadia, a biomedical research firm, is selling stocks to raise money for a new lab. This practice is called finance. Buying a share of Arcadia stock would give Clinton the firm. In the event that Arcadia runs into financial difficulty, will be paid first. Suppose Clinton chooses to buy 250 shares of Arcadia stock. Which of the following statements are correct? Check all that apply. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is an example of a stock exchange where he can purchase Arcadia stock. Expectations of a recession that will reduce economywide corporate profits will likely cause the value of Clinton's shares to decline. The price of his shares will rise if Arcadia issues additional shares of stock. Alternatively, Clinton could undertake their financial investment by purchasing bonds…
Blockbusters Incorporated, a leading producer of movies, is currently negotiating with Liam Goodlooking, the biggest box-office attraction in the movie industry, to star in an adventure film. For a starring role, Liam normally receives a salary of $20,000,000 plus 5% of the receipts to the producer. (The producer normally receives 40% of the total paid admissions wherever the movie is shown.) However, Liam is quite optimistic about the prospects of the film and has expressed some interests in a special contract that would give him only 25% of his normal salary but increase his portion of the receipts to the producer to 20%. Other than Goodlooking’s pay, costs of producing the picture are expected to be $45,000,000. Both the producing company and prospective star have given further thought to the contract terms and concluded that some provision probably should be made for revenues to be earned from contracts authorizing showings of the movie on television. After lengthy negotiations,…
