Suppose that Duc - ee's Ltd. has no cash in hand. The firm instead can issue a financial claim priced $10 million today that promises to pay investors $11 million in one year. How much is the project
worth, net of the cost, in terms of the present value today (in $ million, rounded to 3 decimal places)?
The price of gold is currently $1700 per ounce. The forward price for delivery in one year is $1800. An arbitrageur can borrow money at 5% per annum. What should the arbitrageur do? Assume that the cost of storing gold is zero and that gold provides no income.
A firm wishes to bid on a contract that is expected to yield the following after-tax net cash flows at the end of each year:

To secure the contract, the firm must spend $50,000 to retool its plant. This retooling will have no salvage value at the end of the 8 years. Comparable investment alternatives are available to the firm that earn 11 percent compounded annually. The depreciation tax benefit from the retooling is reflected in the net cash flows in the table.

- The current price of gold is $400. The risk-free rate is 10% and the annual volatility for changes in gold prices is 30%. Gold prices are assumed to follow a lognormal distribution. Each year the mine is open a fixed cost of $1 million is incurred. This cost is incurred even if no gold is mined during the year. If we open (or re-open) the mine a cost of $2 million is incurred. If we shut the mine a fixed cost of $1.5 million is incurred. During the current year and each of the next 15 years we can, if the mine is open, mine up to 10,000 ounces of gold at a variable cost of $250 per ounce. What is the worth of this situation?

- Kohwe Corporation plans to finance a new investment with leverage. Kohwe Corporation plans to borrow $49.3 million to finance the new investment. The firm will pay interest only on this loan each year, and it will maintain an outstanding balance of $49.3 million on the loan. After making the investment, Kohwe expects to earn free cash flows of $10.7 million each year. However, due to reduced sales and other financial distress costs, Kohwe's expected free cash flows will decline to $9.7 million per year. Kohwe currently has 4.6 million shares outstanding, and it has no other assets or opportunities. Assume that the appropriate discount rate for Kohwe's future free cash flows is 7.9% and Kohwe's corporate tax rate is 40%. What is Kohwe's share price today given the financial distress costs of leverage? The price per share is $23.01 per share. (Round to the nearest cent.) Carrow_forwardA mine is for sale for $240,000.
