Suppose you learn that Hertz will have EPS of 2 dollars for the coming year (t-1). Hertz plans to retain all of itsearnings for the next three years (i.e. not payout anything). The following two years (t=4 and t=5), the firm plans onretaining only half (or 50%) of its earnings. Starting in year 6, it will retain only 25% of its earnings (t=6 and after).Retained earnings will be invested in projects with an expected return of 20 percent per year [this rate along with theretention rate tells you how much dividends grow]. If Hertz's equity cost of capital is 12%, then what is the price of ashare of Hertz's stock?Note: pick the number that is closest to the correct value.Select one:O a. $18O b. $20O c. $27O d. $32

Suppose that the forward rate today for the period between 1 year and 2 years in the future is 7% (with annual compounding) and that sometime ago a company entered into an FRA where it will receive 5% (with annual compounding) and pay SOFR (market rate) on a principal of $100 million for the period. Today the 2-year zero rate rate is 6.5%. What is the value of the FRA this company has entered into to get paid 5%, now that the forward rates have gone from 5% to now being 7%?

.You are negotiating to make a 7-year loan of $25,000 to Breck Inc. To repay you, Breck will pay $2,500 at the end of Year 1, $5,000 at the end of Year 2, and $7,500 at the end of Year 3, plus a fixed but currently unspecified cash flow, X, at the end of each year from Year 4 through Year 7. Breck is essentially riskless, so you are confident the payments will be made. You regard 8% as an appropriate rate of return on a low risk but illiquid 7-year loan. What cash flow must the investment provide at the end of each of the final 4 years, that is, what is X?
Consider a firm A that wishes to acquire an equipment. The equipment is expected to reduce costs by $4200 per year. The equipment costs $25000 and has a useful life of 5 years. If the firm buys the equipment, they will depreciate it straight-line to zero over 5 years and dispose of it for nothing. They can lease it for 5 years with an annual lease payment of $5000. If the after-tax interest rate on secured debt issued by company A is 2% and tax rate is 35%, what is the Net Advantage to Leasing (NAL)?(keep two decimal places)
This is a continuation of the last problem I sent on Disney in number 3. I need help on problem 4. And how do I represent it with formulas in excel.
Suppose that immediately after making the fifth payment to Joseph as described above, Wagon Financial also implements a new investment strategy which they believe will yield even higher investment returns than the original 12% per annum. Assuming this to be true, would Wagon Financial need to set aside more or less money than your answer in part f) to be sure that they can afford to make all future payments to Joseph? Justify your answer.
Suppose you have $1,500,000 when you retire and want to withdraw an equal amount each year for the next 30 years. - How much can you withdraw each year if you earn 7% - What if you can earn 9%? - What if the market failed and your earnings dropped to -.5%. How long would it take to drain your account if you did nothing about this loss pattern?
Consider a firm A that wishes to acquire an equipment. The equipment is expected to reduce costs by $5700 per year. The equipment costs $29000 and has a useful life of 7 years. If the firm buys the equipment, they will depreciate it straight-line to zero over 7 years and dispose of it for nothing. They can lease it for 7 years with an annual lease payment of $8000. If the after-tax interest rate on secured debt issued by company A is 7% and tax rate is 25%, what is the Net Advantage to Leasing (NAL)?(keep two decimal places) Answer: -18233.59
A small company plans to spend $10,000 in year 2 and $10,000 in year 5. At an interest rate of effective 10% per year, compounded semiannually, the equation that represents the equivalent annual worth in years 1 through 5 is: (a) A = 10,000(P∕F10%,2)(A∕P,10%,5) + 10,000(A∕F,10%,5) (b) A = 10,000(A∕P,10%,4) + 10,000 (A∕F,10%,5) (c) A = 10,000(P∕F,5%,2)(A∕P,5%,10) + 10,000 (A∕F,5%,10) (d) A = [10,000(F∕P,10%,5) + 10,000] (A∕F,10%,5)
