"A corporation is trying to decide whether to buy the patent for a product designed by another company. The decision to buy will mean an investment of $9.6 million, and the demand for the product is not known. If demand is light, the company expects a return of $2 million each year for the first three years and no return in the fourth year. If demand is moderate, the return will be $2.73 million each year for four years, and high demand means a return of $5.4 million each year for four years. It is estimated the probability of a high demand is 0.47, and the probability of a light demand is 0.21. The firm's interest rate is 15.7%.Calculate the expected present worth of the patent. Express your answer in millions of dollars. For example, if the answer is $12.3 million, enter 12.3. (All figures represent after-tax values.)"

Daniel is considering selling two stocks that have not fared well over recent years. A friend recently informed Daniel that one of his stocks has a special designation, which allows him to treat a loss up to $54,000 on this stock as an ordinary loss rather than the typical capital loss. Daniel figures that he has a loss of $64,800 on each stock. If Daniel’s marginal tax rate is 35 percent and he has $129,600 of other capital gains (taxed at 15 percent) Required: What is the tax savings from the special tax treatment?
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?
D7 You run an oil company that wants to extract an oil reserve. The total stock of oil in the reserve is 600 barrels. You must sell all of the oil in two time periods, so the quantity extracted will be q1 +q2 = 600. The price per barrel you can sell the oil for is pt = 710 − 1 2 qt in each period. The cost of extracting a single barrel is not constant, but increases as more oil is extracted in a period, c(qt) = 1 2 qt. If the interest rate is 5%, how much oil will you extract in periods 1 and 2 if you wanted to maximize profits.
2. A friend has started a business selling software. The software is a great hit, and the firm quickly grows large enough to sell stock. Your friend's firm promises to pay a dividend of $5 per share every year for the next 50 years, at which point your friend intends to shut down the business. The firm's stock is currently selling for $75 per share. If you believe that the company really will pay dividends as stated and if you require a 10% rate of return to make this investment, should you buy the stock? Briefly explain.
Consider a bond and a stock. The bond will pay out 100,000 at the end of year five. It will pay nothing at the end of years 1, 2, 3, or 4. The stock is for a corporation that makes profits off a patent. It will pay dividends for the next 25 years, 5,000 dollars at the end of each year. After that, the patent expires and the dividends go to zero. a) Suppose the interest rate is zero. What is the present value of each of these two assets? In other words, if you had to pay now, which is worth more? [Note: This requires calculating “present values”; you can use excel and if needed] b) The Fed’s monetary policy raises the interest rate to 2.5%. Which is worth more? c) The Fed’s monetary policy raises the interest rate to 5%. Which is worth more? d) What is the intuition for the different results in a), b) and c)? e) Do the above results suggest that, by raising the interest rate, the Fed can powerfully affect the price of assets like stocks?
