You are an analyst working for Goldman Sachs, and you are trying to value the growth potential of a large, established company, Big Industries. Big Industries has a thriving R&D division that has consistently turned out successful products. You estimate that, on average, the division launches two projects every three years, so you estimate that there is a 67% chance that a project will be produced every year. Typically, the investment opportunities the R&D division produces require an initial investment of $10.3 million and yield profits of $1.07 million per year that grow at one of three possible growth rates in perpetuity: 3.3%, 0.0%, and - 3.3%. All three growth rates are equally likely for any given project. These opportunities are always "take it or leave it" opportunities: If they are not undertaken immediately, they disappear forever. Assume that the cost of capital will always remain at 11.9% per year. What is the present value of all future growth opportunities Big Industries will produce? (Hint: Make sure to round all intermediate calculations to at least four decimal places.) What is the present value of all future growth opportunities? The present value is $ million. (Round three decimal places.)

Shimada’s required rate of return is 12% on all investments.

As an analyst for Kingbird Inc., you are responsible for many firms, including ADFC. Currently you have a "hold" recommendation on ADFC. The current price of ADFC is $154. You have conducted an extensive analysis of the industry and you feel that the probability the firm will capture a substantial share of the new market is 25 percent. If the firm is able to capture the new market, you are expecting earnings to grow at a rate of 45 percent per year for the next five years. In that case, the stock price would rise to $234 due to the unusually high growth rate of future earnings. However, you feel there is a 35-percent probability that the firm will face serious difficulties in the near future, in which case the stock price will fall to $114, and the earnings growth rate will drop to 3 percent. There is a 40-percent chance that nothing will change for the firm and its earnings growth rate will remain at 12 percent. Calculate the expected price in the future. (Round intermediate…

Better Mousetraps has developed a new trap. It can go into production for an initial investment in equipment of $5.4 million. The equipment will be depreciated straight line over 6 years to a value of zero, but in fact it can be sold after 6 years for $668,000. The firm believes that working capital at each date must be maintained at a level of 15% of next year’s forecast sales. The firm estimates production costs equal to $1.60 per trap and believes that the traps can be sold for $6 each. Sales forecasts are given in the following table. The project will come to an end in 6 years, when the trap becomes technologically obsolete. The firm’s tax bracket is 35%, and the required rate of return on the project is 9%. Use the MACRS depreciation schedule. Year: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Thereafter Sales (millions of traps) 0 0.5 0.7 0.8 0.8 0.7 0.5
