Investors sometimes fear that a high-risk investment is especially likely to have low returns. Is this fear true? Does a high risk mean the return must be low?
Economics In 54 months time you expect a cash flow of $3 million. Calculate it’s present value (PV) given the 54-month interest rate is currently 4%, with a volatility of 120 basis points (bps). Explain, using equations with properly-defined mathematical notation, how to map this cash flow to vertices at 4 years and 5 years, in such a way that the volatility of the present value of the mapped cash flow remains at 120 bps. Suppose the 4-year rate has a volatility of 110 bps and the 5-year rate has a volatility of 150 bps, and their correlation is 0.9. How much should be mapped to each vertex. Give your answer in PV terms and round your answers to whole $ values.
Two oil wells are for sale. The first will yield payments of $11,400 at the end of each of the next 11 years, while the second will yield $6,100 at the end of each of the next 24 years. Interest rates are assumed to hold steady at 7.9% per year over the next 24 years. Which has the higher present value? the first oil wellthe second oil well they are the samecannot be determined

A firm is considering purchasing equipment to manufacture a new product. The equipment will cost $3M, and expected net cash inflowsare $0.35M indefinitely. If market demand for theproduct is low, then over the next five years thefirm will have the option of discarding the equipment on a secondary market for $2.2M. Assume thatMARR = 12%, s = 50%, and r = 6%. What isthe value of this investment opportunity for the firm?
The Turners have 10 years to save a lump-sum amount for their child’s college education. Today a four-year college education costs $75,000, and this is expected to increase by10%per year into the foreseeable future. a. If the Turners can earn 6% per year on a conservative investment in a highly rated taxfree municipal bond, how much money must they save each year for the next 10 years to afford to send their child to college? b. If a certain college will “freeze” the cost of education in 10 years for a lump-sum of current value $150,000, is this a good deal?
Jacob manages a cloth manufacturing firm. He is deciding whether or not to invest in new machinery. The machinery costs $45,000 and is expected to increase cash flows in the first year by $25,000 and in the second year by $30,000. The firm’s current fixed costs are $9,000 and current marginal costs are $15. The firm currently charges $18 per unit. If the interest rate is 6% then what is the net present value of the associated cash flows? Show your calculation clearly.
The Rosy company, is planning to start an egg packing factory in the country of Bevery. The initial investment for the egg packing factory is $5Million and it will generate net revenues for every year for the next 10 years starting as $1M in the first year, and increasing by $0.5Million every year (e.g, 1M, 1.5M, 2M, 2.5M...). Currently £1 is equal to $20. However, the $ is being devalued (losing value) against the £ by 12% every year (so next year £1 will be $22.4 ). If Rosy company has a MARR of 30% in Bevery, what is the PW of this egg packing factory in £?
