Finance question
Go over figures 13.1 to 13.4 in your textbook and be familiar with the following computations: Expected NPV, std. dev., CV and value of the option.Notes:1. I am referring to the figures embedded in the narrative of the chapter and not the end of chapter problems.2. I will post an Announcement showing all the computations for figure 13.1. You may omit that figure, but you need to show the computations for parts I, II and III in figures 13.2, 13.3 and 13.4.Just to get the ball rolling, I am providing the step by step calculations for figure 13.1. You can omit this figure in your HW submission, but you need to show the step by step calculations, for parts I, II and III, for the remaining figures 13.2, 13.3 and 13.4. Part I: Project without the Growth Option:NPV (Good): You can use row 2 of the calculator with the following inputs:CF0 = -3000; C01 = 1500; F01 = 3; I = 12; CPT NPV; NPV = $603Note: If you don't feel comfortable using the frequency key, you can enter the cash flows as follows:CF0 = -3000; C01 = 1500; F01 = 1; C02 = 1500; F02 = 1; C03 = 1500; F03 =1You follow the same procedure for the bad outcome and you get NPV = -$358Expected NPV:(.5*603) + (.5*(-358)) = $122Standard Deviation:SQRT[..5(603-122)^2 + .5(-358-122)^2] = $480CV:480/122 = 3.93Part II: Project with the OptionThe calculations are identical to part I. When you follow the calculations noted above, you get the following numbers:Expected NPV = $1,503Std. Dev. = $1,861CV = 1.24Part III: Value of the OptionValue of the option is the expected NPV with the option - expected NPV without the option. In this case:Value of the option = $1,503 - $122 = $1,381Notes:1. If expected NPV without the option is negative, the project would not be accepted and so the option has no value.2. Although the concepts in the four figures are fundamentally different, the calculations are identical.

Answer the following questions:
Q5-1
Barret Connelly and Danny Ferris, the owners of LynnU Inc. have decided to expand their operations. They have instructed their newly hired financial analyst, Brett Clulow to enlist an underwriter to help sell $100 million in new 10-year bonds to finance the new construction. Brett has entered into discussion with Michelle Tolsma, an underwriter from the firm Fighting Knights, about which bond features LynnU Inc. should consider and what coupon rate the issue will likely have.
Although Brett is aware of the bond features, he is uncertain as to the costs and benefits of some features, so he isn’t clear on how each feature would affect the coupon rate of the bond issue. You are Michelle’s assistant, and she has asked you to prepare a memo to Brett describing the effect of each of the following bond features on the coupon rate of the bond. She also would like you to list any advantages or disadvantages of each feature.
Please address the following in Memo format:
The security of the bond: whether the bond has collateral.
The seniority of the bond.
The presence of a sinking fund.
A call provision with specified call dates and call prices.
A deferred call accompanying the preceding call provision.
A make-whole call provision.
Any positive covenants: discuss several possible positive covenants LynnU Inc. might consider.
Any negative covenants: discuss several possible negative covenants LynnU Inc. might consider.
A conversion feature (note that LynnU Inc. is NOT a publicly traded company).
A floating-rate coupon.
Q5-2
MEGG Inc. just paid a dividend of $2.00 per share on its stock. The dividends are expected to growth at a constant 6 percent per year indefinitely. If investors require a 13 percent return on the stock, what is the current price? What will the price be in 3 years? In 15 years?
Q5-3
BrainSoft has 12% coupon bonds on the market with 9 years to maturity. The bonds make semi-annual payments and currently sell for 110% of par. What is the current yield on the bonds? The yield to maturity? The effective annual yield?
Answer the following questions:
Q8-1:
When we think of cash management, is it possible for a company to have too much cash? Why would shareholders care if a firm accumulates large amounts of cash?
Q8-2:
If a company has too much cash, what options are available? What options are available if they have too little cash?
Q8-3:
Are stockholders and creditors likely to agree on how much cash a firm should keep on hand? Why or why not?
Q8-4:
Why is a preferred stock with a dividend tied to short-term interest rates an attractive short-term investment for corporations with excess cash?
Q8-5:
If you were in charge of the company, which would you prefer: a net collection float or a net disbursement float? Why?
Q8-6:
Some argue that excess cash held by a firm can aggravate agency problems and, more generally, reduce incentives for shareholder wealth maximization. Do you agree with this perspective? Why or why not?
Q8-7:
One option a company usually has with any excess cash is to pay its suppliers more quickly. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this use of excess cash?
Q8-8:
Another option usually available for dealing with excess cash is to reduce the firm’s outstanding debt. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this use of excess cash?p

Earnings Computation • You sell only one item: Combos consisting one one burger and one order of fries. • Your earnings equal the number of Combos you bring. o I.e., whichever is smaller: the number of fries you bring or the number of burgers you bring. Example o You make 2 burgers per minute you spend on burgers. o You make 1 order of fries per minute you spend on fries. o You spend 14 minutes preparing burgers and 16 minutes preparing fries.

Did the food trucks benefit from specialization and trade? How can the United States benefit from specialization and trade? Provide examples from the textbook. Research and share a current news article on international trade that supports the argument economists make in favor of free trade agreements (FTAs). In what ways is the article supportive of FTAs? In your responses, comment on at least two of your peers' posts. Critique the arguments made in each peer's article by weighing the costs of FTAs against the benefits.

Module 2 Simulation help Posted Jan 11, 2022 12:01 AM How to Play-see attached as well. • Each morning, you split 30 minutes between preparing burgers and preparing fries for later sale. • Your screen tells you how many fries and how many burgers you make per minute. • You divide your time by using the plus buttons and pressing Prepare Food. o Because you have 30 minutes in total, as you increase time preparing an item, time spent on the other decreases. Earnings Computation • You sell only one item: Combos consisting one one burger and one order of fries. • Your earnings equal the number of Combos you bring. o I.e., whichever is smaller: the number of fries you bring or the number of burgers you bring. Example o You make 2 burgers per minute you spend on burgers. o You make 1 order of fries per minute you spend on fries. o You spend 14 minutes preparing burgers and 16 minutes preparing fries. Earnings = Combos=minimum{Burgers, Fries} Earnings = minimum{14 × 2, 16 × 1} 16 = minimum{28, 16} Attachment(s): ComparativeAdvantageStudentInstructions(1).pptx (581.46 KB) ComparativeAdvantage_NoTrade_Instructions.mp4 (4.36 MB) Comparative Advantage (without Trade): Module Two External Learning Tool STOP: Please read the instructions before clicking on the simulation link.

The United States has a comparative advantage over China on the production of specialized and capital-intensive labor. It also has a comparative advantage in the production of services, such as travel and tourism. For this discussion, first play these simulation games in the MindTap environment: Comparative Advantage (Without Trade) Comparative Advantage (With Trade) In your initial post, share your experience playing the games, and include an image of one of your simulation reports. (See Module Two Simulation Discussion Screenshot Instructions PDF.) Then address the following: Countries trade goods just like the food trucks do in the simulation. Did the food trucks benefit from specialization and trade? How can the United States benefit from specialization and trade? Provide examples from the textbook. Research and share a current news article on international trade that supports the argument economists make in favor of free trade agreements (FTAs). In what ways is the article supportive of FTAs? In your responses, comment on at least two of your peers' posts. Critique the arguments made in each peer's article by weighing the costs of FTAs against the benefits. Support your position with sources from the news or the textbook. To access your simulations, click the simulation link found in the module. To complete this assignment, review the Module Two Simulation Discussion Guidelines and Rubric.
