Textbook Question
Chapter 20, Problem 11PS
Option values Respond to the following statements.
- a. “I’m a conservative investor. I’d much rather hold a call option on a safe stock like Exxon Mobil than a volatile stock like Amazon.”
- b. “I bought an American call option on Fava Farms stock, with an exercise price of $45 per share and three more months to maturity. Fava Farms’ stock has skyrocketed from $35 to $55 per share, but I’m afraid it will fall back below $45. I’m going to lock in my gain and exercise my call right now.”

Problem 6-8 Project Evaluation
Dog Up! Franks is looking at a new sausage system with an installed cost of $445,000.
This cost will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the project's five-year life, at the
end of which the sausage system can be scrapped for $53,000. The sausage system will
save the firm $139,000 per year in pretax operating costs, and the system requires an
initial investment in net working capital of $25,000. If the tax rate is 23 percent and the
discount rate is 11 percent, what is the NPV of this project? (Do not round intermediate
calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
NPV
An investment has an expected return of X percent per year, is expected to make annual payments of $3,170 for 7 years, is worth
$14,532, and the first payment is expected in 1 year What is X?
Input instructions: Input your answer as the number that appears before the percentage sign. For example, enter 9.86 for 9.86% (do
not enter .0986 or 9.86%). Round your answer to at least 2 decimal places.
