b) Adagio Corporation has return on equity (ROE) of 20% and its plowback ratio is p. The ROE and the plowback ratio are expected to stay the same in all future periods. The company's earnings are expected to be £4 per share next year. The cost of capital is 15%. What is the present value of growth opportunities of this corporation as a function of p? Calculate the present value of its growth opportunities for p = 30%.

Assume there are no investment projects in the economy that yield an expected rate of return of 25 percent or more. But suppose there are $10 billion of investment projects yielding expected returns of between 20 and 25 percent; another $10 billion yielding between 15 and 20 percent; another $10 billion yielding between 10 and 15 percent; and so forth. a. Cumulate these data and present them graphically using the graph below, putting the expected rate of return (and the real interest rate) on the vertical axis and the amount of investment on the horizontal axis.

be Question 2: Should a firm invest? (show all your work. Points will be deducted for no work) (20 points) A firm learns a firm has an investment opportunity that will earn future revenue 4 years from now by $160,000. The marginal cost of the physical capital today is $125,000. The firm makes this investment at an interest rate of 5%. Using this information answer the questions below 1. Should this frim make this investment? 2. What is the discounted percentage for this investment? 3. Other things being equal, could this investment be made a higher interest rate? Lower? Why, Show with numbers 4. Other things being equal, could this investment be made for longer term? Shorter term? Why?, Show with numbers
5-2 Net Present Value Suppose an initial investment of $100 will return $50/year for three years (assume the $50 is received each year at the end of the year). Is this a profitable investment if the discount rate is 20%?
A share of stock currently costs $35. You can purchase either the shares, or options to buy the stock anytime this year at $38.50. These options cost $0.75 per. What price must the stock rise to this year to make the stock options equally profitable (meaning equal capital gain) to purchasing the stock? (Assume you exercise the options/sell the stock at this price.) What price must the stock rise to this year to make purchasing the stock options 6 times as profitable (meaning 6 times the capital gain) as purchasing the stock?
3. Consider a dynamic (two-period) representative firm's problem. This representative firm is given K unit of capital to produce in the current period. Firm can choose (current-period and future-period) labor demands and investment (to adjust future- period's capital stock) to maximize its present-value lifetime profit. Given that the market interest rate is r and the capital depreciation rate is & after production in each period. Let's further assume that this firm sells all the capital after future-period production. (a) Clearly definite the profit functions for both periods and write down this repre- sentative firm's problem. (b) Write down the optimal condition on investment. Intuitively explain the optimal condition. (c) Suppose K increases, graph the change of investment curve. Intuitively explain the changes on the graph you just drew.
10:55 All iCloud December 2, 2019 at 10:55 AM A village has five residents, each of whom has an accumulated savings of $50. Each villager can use the money to buy a government bond that pays 10% interest per year or to buy a year-old goat, send it onto the commons to graze, and sell it after one year. The price of the goat that the villager will get at the end of the year depends on the amount of weight it gains while grazing on the commons, which in turn depends on the number of goats sent onto the commons, as shown in table below. Assume that if a villager is indifferent between buying a bond and buying a goat, the villager will buy a goat. Number of goats Income per goat ($vear Price per 2-year old goat (S) on the commons 80 30 1 2 75 25 3 70 20 65 15 5 55 5 What will be the total village income if each villager decides how to invest based on his or her individual self-interest?
Assume that at the end of year 0 you invested $100,000 in an investment fund. Since then the annual returns earned by this fund have been as follows: End of Year 1 2 3 Observed Return A. $87,319. B. $90,973. C. $109,683. D. $114,015. 15.00% -40.00% 35.00% It is now the end of year 3 and you expect to earn the same average annual return that you earned over the three-year period above. Based on this expectation, the value of your original $100,000 investment at the end of year 4 will be closest to:
