For cash compensation package, tax consideration also decreases the value. Cash bonus is taxed at ordinary tax rate, so Ms. Jameson receive $5000 x (1-0.28) = $3,600 today, and $4,450.82[5] at the next five years. However, there is a risk that Ms. Jameson’s marginal tax rate is changed. For the worst case, tax rate might reach as high as 31%, and this results in the value of $4,265.37[6] at the end of the fifth year.

Valuation is the estimation of an asset’s value, whether real or financial, based on variables perceived to be related to future investment returns, on comparison with similar assets, or, when relevant, on estimates of immediate liquidation proceeds (Pinto, Henry, Robinson, Stowe; 2010). Correct valuation of real assets can present challenges to financial analysts. Different models can be used to arrive at the closest estimate of value and yet certain issues will always arise. This case attempts to tackle two approaches in real asset valuation: Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis and the issues surrounding such, as well as the Black-Scholes Model for Real Options. Questions to be addressed in the study are:

Benjamin Banneker’s letter to Thomas Jefferson, Framer of the Declaration of Independence and Secretary of State, and to President George Washington creates awareness of the oppressive conditions that the slaves had been in for years and his dissatisfaction towards his target audience’s actions. Banneker uses ethos, logos, pathos, irony, political diction, allusion, sarcasm, and tone to convey his message. He conveys an unpleasant tone in order to seriously convey his message and show the intensity of the situation he is talking about. However, there are parts of the letter where the tone is considerate and sympathetic in order to appeal to pathos.

For the longest time in history states were always separated by their beliefs, some wanted slavery to exist and others didn’t so they split them up. The ones in the North did not feel slavery was useful to them while in the South they were the complete opposite, they wanted slavery to be around since people would work for free. The author Bruce Levine wrote the novel Half Slave and Half Free to inform the transformation throughout history and show us the differences between the two sections (North and South) and how their issues eventually brought us up to the civil war that almost tore America apart.

Solutions to Valuation Questions 1. Assume you expect a company’s net income to remain stable at $1,100 for all future years, and you expect all earnings to be distributed to stockholders at the end of each year, so that common equity also remains stable for all future years (assumes clean surplus). Also, assume the company’s β = 1.5, the market risk premium is 4% and the 20-30 year yield on risk free treasury bonds is 5%. Finally, assume the company has 1,000 shares of common stock outstanding. a. Use the CAPM to estimate the company’s equity cost of capital. • re = RF + β * (RM – RF) = 0.05 + 1.5 * 0.04 = 11% b. Compute the expected net distributions to stockholders for each future year. • D = NI – ΔCE = $1,100 – 0 = $1,100 c. Use the

The Black Scholes Merton (BSM) model is the best-known model for valuing options as it is the original of many option pricing models today (Haug and Taleb, 2009; Le, 2015). Developed in 1973 by Fisher Black, Myron Scholes and Robert Merton, the BSM model is still widely used today as the benchmark for many models and techniques that financial analysts use to analyse and determine the fair prices of given options (Jumarie, 2010). It is widely used due to its simplicity however there are many criticisms regarding the assumptions made by the model (Bharath and Sumway, 2008; Haug and Taleb, 2009; Le, 2015)
