I have a test coming up on Sept 22. It will be 65 min long with 10 multiple choice questions. I will need to someone to answer the questions while I take it. I have provided sample test problems and solutions along with the formula sheet.

FNAN 303 Formulas and Notes (p. 1 of 6)
Value in t periods with simple interest:
C0 × [1 + (simple interest rate per period × t)] = C0 + (C0 × simple interest rate per period × t)
FVt = C0 × (1+r)t
Financial calculator: In either BEGIN or END mode, FV is the future value in N periods from the reference point
(time 0) of a cash flow equal to -PV at the reference point with an interest rate, return, etc. of I% per period
FVt = Ck × (1+r)(t-k)
PV0 = PV = Ct / (1 + r)t
Financial calculator: In either BEGIN or END mode, PV is the opposite of the present value as of the reference
point (time 0) of a cash flow equal to FV that takes place in N periods from the reference point, with a discount rate
of I% per period
PV0 = PV = C0 + [C1/(1+r)1
] + [C2/(1+r)2
] + … + [Ct-1/(1+r)t-1
] + [Ct/(1+r)t
]
PV for a fixed perpetuity = [C/(1+r)] + [C/(1+r)2
] + [C/(1+r)3
] + … = C / r
Rate of return for a fixed perpetuity = r = C /PV
Cash flow for a fixed perpetuity = C = PV × r
PV for a growing perpetuity = C1/(1+r) + [C1(1+g)]/(1+r)2 + [C1(1+g)2
]/(1+r)3 + … = C1 / (r – g)
Rate of return for a growing perpetuity = r = [C1 / PV] + g
First cash flow for a growing perpetuity = C1 = PV × (r – g)
Growth rate for a growing perpetuity = g = r – [C1 / PV]
Ck = C1 × (1 + g)k – 1 which is the same as Ct = C1 × (1 + g)(t – 1)
Also, Cb = Ca × (1 + g)(b-a)
so g = [(Cb / Ca)

PV for an annuity = [C/(1+r)] + [C/(1+r)2
] + … + [C/(1+r)t
]
= C × [{1 – 1/(1+r)t } / r ] = C × [(1/r) – 1/{r(1+r)t}] = (C/r) × [1 – (1/{(1+r)t})]
Financial calculator: In END mode, PV is the opposite of the present value as of the reference point (time 0) of a
series of N regular cash flows equal to PMT per period where the first regular cash flow takes place 1 period from
the reference point, the last cash flow takes place N periods from the reference point, and the discount rate is I% per
period
PV for an annuity due = (1+r) × PV for an annuity = C + [C/(1+r)] + [C/(1+r)2
] + [C/(1+r)3
] + … + [C/(1+r)t-1
]
= (1+r) × C × [{1 – 1/(1+r)t } / r ] = (1+r) × C × [(1/r) – 1/{r(1+r)t}] = C + (C/r) × [1 – (1/{(1+r)t-1})])
Financial calculator: In BEGIN mode, PV is the opposite of the present value as of the reference point (time 0) of a
series of N regular cash flows equal to PMT per period where the first regular cash flow takes place at the reference
point, the last cash flow takes place N-1 periods from the reference point, and the discount rate is I% per period
PV0 = PV = PVk / (1+r)k
FVt = [C0 × (1+r)t
] + [C1 × (1+r)t-1

] + [Ct]
FV for an annuity = [C1 × (1+r)t-1
] + [C2 × (1+r)t-2
] + … + Ct
= (1+r)t × C × [{1 – 1/(1+r)t} / r] = C × [{(1+ r)t – 1} / r] = (1+r)t × C × [(1/r) – 1/{r(1+r)t}]
Financial calculator: In END mode, FV is the future value in N periods from the reference point (time 0) of a series
of N regular cash flows equal to -PMT per period where the first regular cash flow takes place 1 period from the
reference point, the last cash flow takes place N periods from the reference point, and the interest rate, return, etc. is
I% per period
FV for an annuity due = (1+r) × FV for an annuity = [C0 × (1+r)t
] + [C1 × (1+r)t-1
] + … + [Ct-1 × (1+r)1
]
= (1+r)t+1 × C × [{1 – 1/(1+r)t} / r] = (1+r) × C × [{(1+r)t – 1} / r] = (1+r)t+1 × C × [(1/r) – 1/{r(1+r)t}]
Financial calculator: In BEGIN mode, FV is the future value in N periods from the reference point (time 0) of a
series of N regular cash flows equal to -PMT per period where the first regular cash flow takes place at the
reference point, the last cash flow takes place N-1 periods from the reference point, and the interest rate, return, etc.
is I% per period
FNAN 303 Formulas and Notes (p. 2 of 6)
APR = annual percentage rate = # periods in a year × periodic rate = # periods in a year × [(1 + EAR)1/# periods in a year – 1]
EAR = Effective annual rate = [(1 + periodic rate)# of periods in a year] – 1 = [1 + (APR/# periods per year)]# periods per year – 1
Periodic rate = [APR / # periods per year] = [(1 + EAR)(1 / # of periods in a year) – 1]
EAR with continuous compounding = (e
APR) – 1
Bond value = [cpn/(1+r)1
] + [cpn/(1+r)2
] +…+ [cpn/(1+r)t
] + [face/(1+r)t

= {cpn × [{1 – 1/(1+r)t} / r]} + {face/(1+r)t} = {cpn × [(1/r) – 1/{r(1+r)t}]} + {face/(1+r)t}
Financial calculator: Bond value equals -PV, where PV is the opposite of the present value as of the reference point
(time 0) of N coupon payments equal to PMT per period where each coupon equals the coupon rate multiplied by the
face value divided by the number of coupons per year, the first coupon is paid 1 period from the reference point (END
mode), N is the number of coupons paid before maturity and equals number of coupons per year multiplied by the
number of years to maturity, the discount rate is I% per period, where I% equals the bond’s yield-to-maturity divided
by the number of coupons per year, and FV is the face (or par) value of the bond
r for a bond = discount rate per period, where a period equals 1 year divided by the number of coupons per year
Coupon payment = (coupon rate × face value) / number of coupons per year
= total aggregate dollar amount of coupons per year / number of coupons per year
Total aggregate dollar amount of coupons per year = coupon rate × face value = coupon rate × par value
= coupon payment × number of coupons per year
Coupon rate = annual coupon rate = total aggregate dollar amount of coupons per year / face value
YTM = yield-to-maturity = expected annual return for a bond (as an APR)
= r × the number of coupon payments per year
= discount rate per period × the number of coupon payments per year
Current yield = total aggregate dollar amount of coupons per year / bond value
= (coupon rate × face value) / bond value
Total dollar return = cash flows from investment + capital gain
= initial value × percentage return = initial value × return
Capital gain = ending value – initial value
Percentage return = return
= total dollar return ÷ initial value
= (cash flows from investment + capital gain) ÷ initial value
= (cash flows from investment + ending value – initial value) ÷ initial value
Percentage return for a bond = return for a bond
= (coupons + capital gain) ÷ initial bond value
= (coupons + ending bond value – initial bond value) ÷ initial bond value
FNAN 303 Formulas and Notes (p. 3 of 6)
Return for a stock = (dividends + capital gain) ÷ initial stock value
= (dividends + ending stock value – initial stock value) ÷ initial stock value
= (D1 + P1 – P0) / P0 when time 1 is today or earlier (so all relevant time periods have taken place)
= dividend yield + capital appreciation yield
Dividend yield = dividends / initial value
Capital appreciation yield = capital gain / initial value = (ending value – initial value) / initial value
Ending value = initial value × (1 + capital appreciation yield)
Expected total dollar return = expected cash flows from investment + expected capital gain
= expected initial value × expected percentage return = expected initial value × expected return
Expected capital gain = expected ending value – expected initial value
Expected percentage return = expected return
= expected total dollar return ÷ expected initial value
= (expected cash flows from investment + expected capital gain) ÷ expected initial value
= (expected CFs from investment + expected ending value – expected initial value) ÷ expected initial value
Expected return for a stock = (expected dividends + expected capital gain) ÷ expected initial stock value
= (expected dividends + expected ending stock value – expected initial stock value) ÷ expected initial stock value
= (D1 + P1 – P0) / P0 when time 0 is today or later (so not all relevant time periods have taken place)
= expected dividend yield + expected capital appreciation yield
Expected dividend yield = expected cash flows from investment / expected initial value
= expected dividends / expected initial value
Expected capital appreciation yield = expected capital gain / expected initial value
= (expected ending value – expected initial value) / expected initial value
Expected ending value = expected initial value × (1 + expected capital appreciation yield)

Constant dividend (no-growth) model
P0 = D / R
R = D / P0 and D = R × P0
Constant dividend (no-growth) model
Pt = D / R
R = D / Pt and D = R × Pt
Constant dividend growth model
P0 = D1 / (R – g)
Dk = D1 × (1 + g)k – 1 which is the same as Dt = D1 × (1 + g)t – 1
Also, Db = Da × (1 + g)b-a
so g = [(Db / Da)
1/(b-a)] – 1
R = (D1 / P0) + g and D1 = P0 × (R – g) and g = R – (D1 / P0)
Constant dividend growth model
Pt = Dt+1 / (R – g)
R = (Dt+1 / Pt) + g and Dt+1 = Pt × (R – g) and g = R – (Dt+1 / Pt)

Net present value = NPV = C0 + [C1/(1+r)1
] + [C2/(1+r)2
] + … + [Ct/(1+r)t
]
Financial calculator: npv(discount rate, C0, {C1, C2, …, last non-zero expected cash flow}) produces NPV
Internal rate of return = IRR = discount rate such that the present value of a project’s expected cash flows is zero
0 = C0 + [C1/(1+IRR)1

]
Financial calculator: irr(C0, {C1, C2, …, last non-zero expected cash flow}) produces IRR
The payback period is the length of time that it takes for the cumulative expected cash flows produced by a
project to equal the initial investment
If payback period is between t and t+1 years, then the portion of year t+1 needed to produce the cash for payback
= expected CF needed for payback after t years / expected CF in year t+1
= [investment – cumulative expected CFs produced through time t] / expected CF in year t+1
= [investment – (C1 + C2 + … + Ct)] / Ct+1
The discounted payback period is the length of time that it takes for the cumulative discounted expected cash
flows produced by a project to equal the initial investment
If discounted payback period is between t and t+1 years, then the portion of year t+1 needed to produce the
discounted cash for discounted payback
= expected DCF needed for discounted payback after t years / expected DCF in year t+1
= [investment – cumulative expected DCFs produced through time t] / expected DCF in year t+1
= [investment – {PV(C1) + PV(C2) + … + PV(Ct)}] / PV(Ct+1)
Relevant cash flow for a project = incremental expected cash flow
= expected cash flow with project – expected cash flow without project
Relevant cash flow for a project = operating cash flow + cash flow effects from changes in net working capital +
cash flow from capital spending + terminal value
Operating cash flow = OCF = net income + depreciation
Project net income = EBIT – taxes
Project EBIT = project earnings before interest and taxes = project taxable income
= revenue – costs – depreciation
Project taxes = taxable income × tax rate = EBIT × tax rate
Revenue = sales = number of units sold × average price per unit
Total costs = costs = total expenses = expenses = fixed costs + variable costs
Variable costs = number of units sold × average variable cost per unit
Annual straight-line depreciation = (investment – amount item is depreciated to) / depreciable life
= (investment – amount item is depreciated to) / useful life
Note: depreciation expense can only be taken during useful life
Annual MACRS depreciation = investment × relevant rate
Net working capital = NWC = current assets – current liabilities = CA – CL
For project analysis, CA = cash + securities + receivables + inventories and CL = payables
Change in NWC = ΔNWC = NWC at end of period – NWC at start of period, except for the initial change in
NWC at time 0, which equals NWC at time 0
ΔNWCt = NWCt – NWCt-1 and ΔNWCt+1 = NWCt+1 – NWCt
Cash flow effect from change in NWC = opposite of the change in NWC = -ΔNWC
Cash flow from asset sale = sale price of asset – taxes paid on sale of asset
Taxes paid on sale of asset = (sale price of asset – book value of asset) × tax rate
= taxable gain on asset × tax rate
Book value of asset = initial investment – accumulated depreciation
Accumulated depreciation = cumulative sum of all depreciation taken for an asset

Average annual return = arithmetic average return = arithmetic average annual return = arithmetic mean return
= arithmetic mean annual return = arithmetic return = arithmetic annual return = mean return = mean annual return
= (return in year 1 + return in year 2 + … + return in year n) / n
= (1/n)(return in year 1) + (1/n)(return in year 2) + … + (1/n)(return in year n)
Compound return = compound annual return = geometric average return = geometric average annual return

(1 + real rate) = (1 + nominal rate) ÷ (1 + inflation rate)
Real rate = [(1+nominal rate) ÷ (1+inflation rate)] – 1
(1 + nominal rate) = (1 + real rate) × (1 + inflation rate)
Nominal rate = [(1+real rate) × (1+inflation rate)] – 1
= the “regular” or “normal” return, expected return, discount rate, etc. used throughout the course
(1+inflation rate) = (1+nominal rate) ÷ (1+real rate)
Inflation rate = [(1+nominal rate) ÷ (1+real rate)] – 1
Variance of R based on past returns = sample variance
= {[1/(n-1)] × [R1 – mean(R)]2} + {[1/(n-1)] × [R2 – mean(R)]2} + … + {[1/(n-1)] × [Rt – mean(R)]2} + … + {[1/(n-1)]
× [Rn – mean(R)]2}
Standard deviation of R based on past returns = sample standard deviation
= √variance of R based on past returns = √sample variance
Expected return based on possible future outcomes = E(R) = [p(1) × R(1)] + [p(2) × R(2)] + … + [p(S) × R(S)]
p(s) is the probability of state (or outcome) s occurring, where the sum of all probabilities equals 1, which is 100%
R(s) is the return in state (or outcome) s
Variance of returns based on future outcomes
= {p(1) × [R(1) – E(R)]2} + {p(2) × [R(2) – E(R)]2} + … + {p(S) × [R(S) – E(R)]2}
Standard deviation of returns based on future outcomes = √variance of returns based on future outcomes
Portfolio return = Rp = [x1 × R1] + [x2 × R2] + … + [xn × Rn]
Expected portfolio return = E(Rp) = [x1 × E(R1)] + [x2 × E(R2)] + … + [xn × E(Rn)]
xi = (value of holdings of asset i in the portfolio) / (total value of the portfolio) where the sum of all weights equals 1,
which is 100%, and the total value of the portfolio is the sum of the holdings of all the assets in the portfolio
Expected return = return on risk-free asset + risk premium = risk-free rate + risk premium
= required return for financial asset like a stock or bond
Risk premium = expected return – return on risk-free asset = expected return – risk-free rate
Actual return = E(R) + U = expected return + unexpected return
= E(R) + systematic portion of unexpected return + unsystematic portion of unexpected return
Total risk = systematic risk + unsystematic risk
= (risk from macroeconomic surprises + risk from individual surprises) in FNAN 303
β for a portfolio = βp = x1β1 + x2β2 + … + xnβn
CAPM: E(Ri) = Rf + (βi × [E(RM) – Rf]) for asset i and E(Rp) = Rf + (βp × [E(RM) – Rf]) for portfolio p
E(Ri) = Rf + (βi × market premium) for asset i and E(Rp) = Rf + (βp × market premium) for portfolio p
Market risk premium = market premium = expected market return – risk-free rate = E(RM) – Rf
After-tax expected cost of debt = pre-tax cost of debt × (1 – Tc) = RD × (1 – Tc) = YTM × (1 – Tc) for a bond
With 3 capital structure items (common stock, preferred stock, and debt):
Weighted average cost of capital = WACC = RA = [(E/V) × RE] + [(P/V) × RP] + [(D/V) × RD × (1 – Tc)]
where V = E + P + D = value of firm’s assets = value of firms’ capital structure
E, P, and D = value of all of firm’s common equity, preferred equity, and debt respectively
Where E, P, and D each = (number of that particular type of shares or bonds × price per that type of share or bond) ÷ V

Assume a rate (such as interest or return) is a compound rate unless told otherwise.
Assume a given rate is for a year unless told otherwise. More specifically, assume rate is an APR unless told
otherwise.
Note that a quarter is 3 months, a semi-annual period (or half year) is 6 months, and a year is 12 months
Assume “in x periods” is equivalent to “in x periods from today” unless told otherwise.
Assume there is a “flat yield curve.” Therefore, the rate (interest rate, discount rate, expected return, etc.)
associated with any set of cash flows is not influenced by the timing of the cash flows.
The terms “value” and “market value” refer to present value unless it is explicitly indicated that some other
value (like future value, book value, or face value) is relevant and being referred to.
For a given source of cash flows, assume that the discount rate is constant and the same for each individual
time period.
Assume markets for financial investments and securities like stocks and bonds are well-functioning and that
markets for projects and business activities are not well-functioning. However, assume that markets for
assets such as buildings, plants, stores, etc. are well-functioning in questions that involve comparisons of risk
and/or value.
Assume that the rate of return is greater than the growth rate with a growing perpetuity or a stock with a
constantly growing dividend.
If a question asks for a "payment" or a “contribution” then the payment or contribution equals the magnitude
of the cash flow and is a positive number.
Assume the term bond refers to a “typical” bond that pays regular, fixed coupon payments and all principal at
maturity; par (or face) value is $1,000; and amount initially borrowed is par (or face) value unless explicitly
noted otherwise.
The terms “return” and “rate of return” refer to percentage return, not total dollar return.
When valuing a bond or stock at the same time that a coupon or dividend is paid, assume that the coupon or
dividend is paid just before the bond or stock is valued. Also, if a bond or stock is sold at the same time that a
coupon or dividend is paid, assume the security is sold just after the coupon or dividend is paid
Assume that the expected return for stocks, bonds, and other financial investments remains constant over
time. It is the same for each individual time period.
Assume that a project has conventional cash flows if its expected cash flows are consistent with conventional
cash flows. In other words, if the cash flows look conventional, assume they are conventional.
Assume any cash flows from terminal values are after-tax values
Assume expected returns, discount rates, and costs of capital are positive, unless explicitly noted as negative
or given information that indicates rate is or may be negative.
Unless explicitly noted or told otherwise, use the arithmetic average return when computing an average (or a
mean, which is the same thing). The terms “average” and “mean” refer to the arithmetic average.
Unless noted otherwise, assume the returns of all the assets in a portfolio (with more than 1 asset) do not
move perfectly together in the same direction by the same relative amount.
Unless noted otherwise, assume that any information that is “announced” is information that was previously
private and made public by the announcement.
Assume the expected return of the market portfolio is greater than the risk-free return and that both are greater
than 0.
Assume that the expected cash flows and level of risk associated with a particular project are the same for all
firms.

Lecture Problem 1-a

If Eric invests $500 today in an account that earns 8.00% per year in simple interest, how much will he have in 15 years?

With simple interest, C0 today becomes the following in t periods:

C0 × (1 + (simple interest rate per period × t))

So, Eric would have 500 × (1 + (.0800 × 15)) = 500 × (1 + 1.200) = $1,100

Eric would earn $600 in interest as .0800 × 500 = $40 per year for 15 years, so he would have $500 + $600 = $1,100 in 15 years

---------------------------------------------------------

Lecture Problem   1-b

If Carl invests $600 today, then how much would Carl need to earn each year as a simple interest rate to have $1,100 in 12 years?

With simple interest,

Ct = C0 × [(1 + (r)(t)]

1,100 = 600 x [1+(r)(12)]

1,100/600  =  1+ 12(r)

1.8333 = 1+12(r)

1.8333-1 = 12(r)

r = 0.8333/12 = 0.0694  = 6.94%

-------------------------------------------------

Lecture Problem 1-c

If Ben can earn simple interest of 8.6% per year, then how much would Ben need to invest today to have $1,100 in 12 years?

C0  =  Ct / [(1 + (r)(t)] = 1,100/[1+(0.86)(12)]  =  541.34  

=============================

Lecture Problem 2

If Martha invests $500 today in an account that earns 12.34% per year in compound interest, how much will she have in 12 years?

With compound interest, FVt = C0 × (1 + r)t

In this case:

C0 = 500

r = .1234

t = 12

FV12 = 500 × (1.1234)12 = $2,020.15

Martha would have $2,020.15 in 12 years

Lecture Problem 3

How much will you have in 9 years if you invest $1,234 in 2 years and your account has a return of 2.36% per  year for each of the next 14 years?

Future value                   ?

Note: in 9 years means in 9 years from today

t = 9

k = 2

t – k = 9 – 2 = 7

r = .0236

C2 = 1,234

FVt = Ck × (1 + r)t-k

FV9 = C2 × (1 + r)7

FV9 = 1,234 × (1.0236)7 = $1,452.87

Lecture Problem 5

If Maria plans to invest $800 in 3 years in an account that has an expected return of 7.46% per year and JoJo plans to invest $1,100 in 5 years in an account that has an expected return of 4.52% per year, then who is planning to invest in a riskier account?

The expected return or interest rate associated with a given investment or asset is related to the risk of the investment’s or asset’s cash flows

Recall that in FNAN 303, we impose the simplifying assumption of a “flat yield curve” which means that the rate (expected return interest rate, etc.) associated with any set of cash flows depends only on the risk of those cash flows.

Maria’s investment has an expected return of 7.46%

JoJo’s investment has an expected return of 4.52%

Answer: Maria is planning to invest in a riskier account

Lecture Problem 6-a

I Scream Ice Cream Company just bought 1 ton of sugar from Sweet Cane, I Scream has been offered the following 2 options, and the discount rate is 7.20% per quarter.

Option A: I Scream Ice Cream will pay $1,260 to Sweet Cane in 2 quarters

Option B: I Scream Ice Cream will pay $1,340 to Sweet Cane in 3 quarters

Which option, A or B, is better for I Scream Ice Cream?

To answer this question, we need to find the present value of options A and B from the perspective of I Scream Ice Cream, which would be making a payment to Sweet Cane

Option A:

PV0 = Ct ÷ (1+r)t

r = .0720

t = 2

C2 = -1,260

PV0 = C2 ÷ (1+r)2

= -1,260 ÷ (1.0720)2

= -1,096.43

Option B:

PV0 = Ct ÷ (1+r)t

r = .0720

t = 3

C3 = -1,340

PV0 = C3 ÷ (1+r)3

= -1,340 ÷ (1.0720)3

= -1,087.73

The better option for I Scream Ice Cream is the one with the higher present value, which is option B: -1,087.73 > -1,096.43

The better option for I Scream Ice Cream is B, which is equivalent in value to paying $1,087.73 today.  This is better than option A, which is equivalent in value to paying $1,096.43 today.

Lecture Problem 8-a

I Scream Ice Cream Company is considering selling several of its plants.  The firm expects to sell plant A, which has a cost of capital is 6%, for an expected cash flow of $800,000 in 3 years and plant B, which has a cost of capital is 8%, for an expected cash flow of $800,000 in 3 years.  Which plant, A or B, is riskier, or are they equally risky?  The plants are expected to produce no cash flows other than the cash produced when they are sold.

Plant B is riskier than plant A, because plant B has a higher cost of capital than plant A.  Recall that riskier cash flows are associated with higher discount rates, as investors demand greater reward for bearing more risk.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Lecture Problem 8-b

I Scream Ice Cream Company is considering selling several of its plants.  The firm expects to sell plant A, which has a cost of capital is 6%, for an expected cash flow of $800,000 in 3 years and plant B, which has a cost of capital is 8%, for an expected cash flow of $800,000 in 3 years.  Which plant, A or B, is worth more today?  The plants are expected to produce no cash flows other than the cash produced when they are sold.

Plant A: PV0 = 800,000 / (1.06)3 = 671,695

Plant B: PV0 = 800,000 / (1.08)3 = 635,066

The present value of plant A (671,695) is greater than the present value of plant B ($635,066), so plant A is worth more despite the fact that both plants are expected to be sold in 3 years for $800,000.  Recall that a higher cost of capital leads to a lower present value, all else equal (cash flow amount and timing).

Lecture Problem 8-c

I Scream Ice Cream Company is considering selling several of its plants.  The firm expects to sell plant A, which has a cost of capital is 6%, for an expected cash flow of $800,000 in 3 years and plant C, which has a cost of capital is 6%, for an expected cash flow of $800,000 in 5 years.  Which plant, A or C, is riskier, or are they equally risky?  The plants are expected to produce no cash flows other than the cash produced when they are sold.

Plants A and C are equally risky, because they have the same cost of capital.  Recall that riskier cash flows are associated with higher discount rates, as investors demand greater reward for bearing more risk.  Since the costs of capital are the same, the cash flows, and thus the plants, are equally as risky.

Lecture Problem 8-d

I Scream Ice Cream Company is considering selling several of its plants.  The firm expects to sell plant A, which has a cost of capital is 6%, for an expected cash flow of $800,000 in 3 years and plant C, which has a cost of capital is 6%, for an expected cash flow of $800,000 in 5 years.  Which plant, A or C, is worth more today?  The plants are expected to produce no cash flows other than the cash produced when they are sold.

Plant A: PV0 = 800,000 / (1.06)3 = 671,695

Plant C: PV0 = 800,000 / (1.06)5 = 597,807

The present value of plant A (671,695) is greater than the present value of plant C (597,807), so plant A is worth more despite the fact that both plants have the same cost of capital (and level of risk) and are expected to be sold for $800,000.  Recall that a longer time leads to a lower present value, all else equal (cash flow amount and discount rate).

Plant C: PV0 = 800,000 / (1.06)5 = 597,807

Plant D: PV0 = 900,000 / (1.06)5 = 672,532

The present value of plant D (672,532) is greater than the present value of plant C (597,807), so plant D is worth more despite the fact that both plants have the same cost of capital (and level of risk) and are expected to be sold at the same time (in 5 years).  Recall that a larger expected cash flow leads to a higher present value, all else equal (time until cash flow and discount rate).

Lecture Problem 1-b

A building that is worth $500,000 and has a cost of capital of 10.0% is expected to produce cash flows of $200,000 in 1 year and X in 3 years.  What is X?

Time 0 1 2 3
Expected cash flow 0 $200,000 $0 X
Present value $500,000      

PV = C0 + [C1/(1+r)1] + [C2/(1+r)2]

PV = 500,000              C0 = 0              C1 = 200,000               C2 = 0              C3 = X     r = .100

PV = C0 + [C1/(1+r)1] + [C2/(1+r)2] + [C3/(1+r)3]

500,000 = 0 + [200,000/(1.10)] + [0/(1.100)2] + [X/(1.100)3]

500,000 = 0 + [200,000/(1.10)] + [X/(1.100)3]

500,000 = 0 + 181,818 + [X/(1.100)3]

So 500,000 – 181,818 = [X/(1.100)3]

So 318,182 = [X/(1.100)3]

The present value of the cash flow expected in year 3 is $318,182

The value of the cash flow expected in year 3 is X where 318,182 = [X/(1.100)3]

So X = [318,182 × (1.100)3] = $423,500

Confirm:

PV = C0 + [C1/(1+r)1] + [C2/(1+r)2] + [C3/(1+r)3]

PV = 0 + [200,000/(1.100)1] + [0/(1.100)2] + [423,500/(1.100)3]

We know that Cb = Ca × (1+g)b-a so C5 = C2 × (1+g)3

C2 = 50.00       C5 = 55.62

So 55.62 = 50.00× (1+g)3

(55.62/50.00) = (1+g)3

(55.62/50.00)(1/3) = [(1+g)3](1/3) = 1 + g

= 1.0361

So g = 1.0361 – 1 = .0361

2) Find the cash flow expected in 4 years

We know that Cb = Ca × (1+g)b-a so C4 = C2 × (1+g)4-2 = C2 × (1+g)2

C2 = 50.00 and g = .0361

So C4 = C2 × (1+g)4-2 = 50.00× (1.0361)2 = $53.68

We also know that Cb = Ca × (1+g)b-a so C5 = C4 × (1+g)5-4 = C4 × (1+g)1

So 55.62 = C4 × 1.0361

C5 = 55.62 / 1.0361 = $53.68

Lecture Problem 5-a

You own a building that is expected to pay annual cash flows forever.  What is the value of the building if the cost of capital is 8.3% and annual cash flows are expected to grow by 2.3% per year forever with the first one expected to be $500,000 in 1 year?

PV = C1 / (r – g)

C1 = $500,000             r = .083           g = .023

PV = $2,300,000         r = .050           g = .022

C1 = $2,300,000 × (.050 – .022)

We know that C1 = $64,400

Therefore, C2 = C1 × (1.022)

The cash flows reflect a growing perpetuity

PV = C1 / (r – g), so g = r – (C1 / PV)

PV = $850,000            r = .0830         C1 = $62,000

g = r – (C1 / PV)

= .0830 – (62,000 / 850,000)

1) Find the value of the flavor as of one year before the first payment is made

2) Find the present value (as of today) of the flavor

1) The first of a series of 9 fixed payments occurs in 6 years, so we can find the value of the flavor as of 5 years from now as an ordinary annuity with 9 payments of $250,000.  The nine fixed payments occur in 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 years from now.

2) The value today of something worth 1,561,722 in 5 years can be found as

PV0 = PV5 / (1+r)5

PV5 = 1,561,722         r = .08

PV0 = 1,561,722 / (1.08)5 = $1,062,882

Mode is not relevant, since PMT = 0
