Lyft launched its IPO on April 1st 2019 with a share price of $72. Before the IPO, Lyft’s board of directors was likely trying to decide how to compensate CEO Logan Green to provide an incentive for him to increase the firm’s performance and share price after it went public. Let’s say the board was considering two possibilities such that they were deciding between providing one million dollars worth of shares of the firm stock at $72 per share or one million dollars worth of call options with a strike price of $72 and a maturity and vesting date one year after the IPO. To keep things simple, let’s say CEO Logan Green can choose between providing two levels of effort: regular effort or high effort. He has been exerting regular effort all along. He could switch to high effort which would be much more costly for him as he would have to work even longer hours, but the extra effort would likely result in better performance for the firm. The goal of the board’s incentive compensation is to…
The timber rights to a tract of forest can be purchased for $250,000. The harvesting agreement would allow 25% of the timber to be cut in each of the first, second, fourth, and fifth years.

Semi-Salt Industries began its operation in 1975 and remains the only firm in the world that produces and sells commercial-grade polyglutamate. While virtually anyone with a degree in college chemistry could replicate the firm’s formula, due to the relatively high cost, Semi-Salt has decided not to apply for a patent. Despite the absence of patent protection, Semi-Salt has averaged accounting profits of 5.5 percent on investment since it began producing polyglutamate—a rate comparable to the average rate of interest that large banks paid on deposits over this period. Do you think Semi-Salt is earning monopoly profits? Why?

Skye's preferred stock pays a dividend of $3.30 per share, and its preferred stock sells for $30 per share. Skye's earnings per share last year were $3.20. The common stock sells for $55.00, last year’s dividend (D0) was $2.10, and a flotation cost (i.e, f ) of 10% would be required to sell new common stock. Security analysts are projecting that the common dividend will grow at an annual rate of 9%. The market risk premium is 5%, the risk-free rate is 6%, and Skye's beta is 1.516.
