In the “outlook” section of Ford’s 2022 10-K, they revealed a ton of valuable forward-
looking information for investors to use. Ford stated that they expect adjusted EBIT somewhere between $9 billion and $11 billion and an adjusted free cash flow of $6 billion, which are both major improvements over 2022. These estimates are based on multiple headwinds, including an expected mild US recession and a moderate European recession, higher incentives across the automotive industry as supply and demand begin to level back out, continuations of the strong dollar, lower past service pension income of around $2 billion, and continued investments in growth. In contrast, they also noted several tailwinds which include improvements in the supply chain and industry volume, launches of brand-new products, and a lower cost of goods sold. Ford
is expecting both a bounce back in their numbers and the economy as a whole, but we will have to see if they are correct or not.
GM’s forward-looking statements are very similar to Ford’s, in the sense that they are expecting a turnaround for the economy and therefore a stabilization of the automotive industry. They believe that this will drive up their sales and allow them to make more affordable vehicles, therefore attracting more customers. Although, since GM’s 2022 was much better than Ford’s, they are expecting less growth or “recovery”, and more of a stabilization and sustainability of the
year they had in 2022.
Tesla’s approach to forward-looking statements is a little different than that of Ford and GM, presumably because they are a much newer and faster-growing company. Their outlook was
based less on the economy and projections, and more on development. This is seen when they mention the different Tesla models and their production locations, showing three new products – the Tesla Semi, Tesla Roadster, and Robotaxi. Tesla states that the Tesla Semi is further along in production, already having a production location in Nevada and a status of “pilot production”,

You are interested in determining the intrinsic value of Hoffman Inc.
Your analysis shows that the firm’s growth rate will drop from its current pace by 20% each of the next two years, and then you estimate that dividends will continue to grow at the year 2 rate, with the same dividend policy in place, indefinitely.
Lastly, your estimate of the required return on the firm’s equity is 12%.
Hoffman’s recently published annual report shows the following financial relationships:
Assets = 1.4 x Equity
Current Assets = 1.7 x Current Liabilities
Sales = 1.5 x Assets
Net Income = 8% x Sales
Dividends = 30% x Net Income
Earnings per share (Basic) = $0.80 per share
Use the multi-period DDM to estimate the intrinsic value of the company’s stock now, at the beginning of year 1.

Q14) CountrySide Bank uses Moody's Analytics Portfolio Manager to evaluate the risk-
return characteristics of the loans in its portfolio. A specific $10 million loan earns 2
percent per year in fees, and the loan is priced at a 4 percent spread over the cost of
funds for the bank. Because of collateral considerations, the loss to the bank if the
borrower defaults will be 30 percent of the loan's face value. The expected probability
of default is 5 percent.
What is the anticipated return on this loan? What is the risk of the loan?
