Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 48P
The prospective exploration for oil in the outer continental shelf by a small, independent drilling company has produced a rather curious pattern of cash flows, as follows:
The$1,500,000 expense at EOY 10 will be incurred by the company in dismantling the drilling rig
- a. Over the 10-year period, plot PW versus the interest rate (i) in an attempt to discover whether multiple
rates of return exist. (5.6) - b. Based on the projected net cash flows and results in Part (a), what would you recommend regarding the pursuit of this project? Customarily, the company expects to earn at least 20% per year on invested capital before taxes. Use the ERR method (∈ = 20%). (5.7)

A$ 100,000 machine replacement project
indicates that it can generate, after-tax cash
flows, $ 35,000 per year over its 10-year
useful life. At the end of this period, it could
be sold for $ 10,000. Considering a Minimum
Attractive Rate of Return (MARR) of 10% per
year, select the equation by notation of
factors that calculates your Net Present Value
-100000 + 35000 (P/A,10%,9) + 10000 (P/F,10%,10)
-100000 + 35000 (P/A,10%,9) + 45000 (P/F,10%,10)
100000 – 35000 (P/A,10%,9) – 45000 (P/F,10%,10)
-100000 + 35000 (P/F,10%,10) + 10000 (P/A,10%,10)
Commercial You are a corporate account officer with the Commercial & In-
dustrial Bank Corporation (CIBC). One of your major manufacturing clients, who are re- tooling one of their factories, just bought a piece of customized machinery to be delivered in six months’ time. The company’s treasurer intends to initially finance the purchase in the short-term loan market for six months and inquires about the possibilities of locking in the borrowing cost now. The amount is USD 10m and the loan would be disbursed in a six months from now to be repaid in exactly one year’s time from now. The current SOFR term structure is as follows:
Maturity (D)
SOFR Rate (%)
30
0.15%
90
0.24%
180
0.33%
360
0.55%
Use excel to calculate
Define and calculate the SOFR forward Why or why not is it a good predictor for future SOFR rates?
At expiration, e., six months after entering into the agreement, the 180D 20 SOFR stands at 0.90%. Who wins and who loses?…
Suppose I develop a new carbonated beverage that has Pomegranate, Orange, Watermelon, Strawberry, and Apple juice. I trademark the name POWSA (to rhyme with
YOWSA for an intended marketing campaign about how deliciously refreshing it is... POWSA!!). Then I perfect the tastiest ingredient mix with the essential acronym aligned
components... POWSA!!
I believe it is possible to get a $10 million annual SOM by selling 10 million cans at $1 each while the cost (at that scale of operation) will be sixty cents per can. However, I
need to invest $20 million in the marketing, so I need a VC or angel investor to buy an equity stake for $20 million. I pitch the idea of getting Sugar Ray Leonard to do the ads
for that "light-weight-sugar champion" POWSA Punch element of the marketing campaign. I claim the ad campaign with Sugar Ray would be effective with the $20 million
budget. Now suppose Warren Buffet agrees with all my numbers and also has a 10% opportunity cost of capital (he believes the $20…
