BPO Services is in the business of digitizing information from forms that are filled out by hand. In 2006, a big client gave BPO a distribution of the forms that it digitized in house last year, and BPO estimated how much it would cost to digitize each form. Form Type Mix of Forms Form Cost A 0.2 $0.80 B 0.2 $0.40 C 0.2 $0.40 D 0.2 $1.60 E 0.2 $0.80 The expected cost of digitizing a form is $__________- . Suppose the client and BPO agree to a deal, whereby the client pays BPO to digitize forms. The price of each form processed is equal to the expected cost of the form that you calculated in the previous part of the problem. Suppose that after the agreement, the client sends an equal mix of forms of types D and E only. The expected digitization cost per form of the forms sent by the client is $___________ . This leads to an expected loss of $__________ per form for BPO. (Hint: Do not round your answers. Enter the loss as a positive number.)

The Economic Development Corporation (EDC) for the city of Bahia, California, and Moderna County is operated as a not-for-profit corporation. It is seeking a developer that will place a major water park in the city or county area. Financial incentives will be awarded. In response to a request for proposal (RFP) to the major water park developers in the country, four proposals have been received.

A pharmaceutical company has spent $500 million to date working on a blood pressure treatment. It has to decide whether to spend another $500 million today to get final approval from the FDA in two years. Once approved, expected profits will be $50 million per year for the foreseeable future. The firm’s cost of capital is 5%. Should the firm proceed? (Hint: use the perpetuity formula used to value projects found in the readings to find the value of the profit stream that starts in two years, and then discount that.) 2. Suppose some doctors do not see any advantage of using the drug over what they currently prescribe for patients and the profit stream is only $25 million per year. Should the firm proceed? 3. Going back to the original information, suppose there is a delay of a year in getting FDA approval. Should the firm proceed? 4. Going back to the original information, suppose the firm’s’ cost of capital is 10%. Should the firm proceed?
