9 A program, if implemented, will operate for 10 years for certain. Your best guess is that after year 10 and following each year thereafter there will be a 0.02 probability the program will end. Real net benefits are $25 the first year and are expected to grow 1% per year as long as the program is in operation. Benefits accrue at the end of the year. The real discount rate is 3.5%. What is the NPV of the horizon value of net benefits following year 10, as seen from time 0, the beginning of the first year
How would each of the following scenarios affect a firm's cost of debt, r d (l - t), t=tax rate; its cost of equity, rs; and its WACC? Indicate with an increase (I), a decreease (D), or no change (N) whether the factor would raise, lower, or have an indeterminate effect on the item in question. Assume for each answer that other things are held constant, even though in some instances this would probably not be true. rd (1-t) rs WACC 1) The corporate tax rate is lowered. 2) The Federal Reserve tightens credit. 3) The firm uses more debt; that is, it increases its debt ratio 4) The dividend payout ratio is increased.
Please do your own work, don't copy from the internet Q6) Cash flow (LO12-2) Assume a corporation has earnings before depreciation and taxes of $100,000, depreciation of $40,000, and that it has a 24 percent tax bracket. Compute its cash flow using the following format: Earnings before depreciation and taxes _____ Depreciation _____ Earnings before taxes _____ Taxes @ 24% _____ Earnings after taxes _____ Depreciation _____ Compute the cash flow for the company if depreciation is only $20,000. How much cash flow is lost due to the reduced depreciation from $40,000 to $20,000?
Suppose that, holding yield constant, investors are indifferent as to whether they hold bonds issued by the federal govemment or bonds issued by state and local governments (that is, they consider the bonds the same with respect to default risk, information costs, and liquidity) Suppose that state governments have issued perpetuities (or consoles) with $78 coupons and that the federal govemment has also issued perpetuities with $78 coupons. If the state and federal perpetuites both have after-tax yields of 8%, what are their pre-tax yields? (Assume that the relevant federal income tax rate is 31.13%) * The pre-tax yield on the state perpetuity will be______________% * The pre-tax yield on the federal perpetuity will be_______________%

INV 1 5aiv Suppose that you have the following utility function: U=E(r) – ½ Aσ2 and A=3 Suppose that you have $10 million to invest for one year and you want to invest that money into ETFs tracking the S&P 500 (US) and S&P/TSX 60 (Canada) index, which are often used as proxies for the US and Canadian stock markets, respectively, and the Canadian one-year T-bill. Assume that the interest rate of the one-year T-bill is 0.35% per annum. You have found two ETFs that you are interested in. From a set of their historical data between 2001 and 2019, you have estimated the annual expected returns, standard deviations, and covariance as follows: ETFUS : E(r)= 0.070584 standard deviation = 0.173687 ETFCDA : E(r)= 0.073763 standard deviation = 0.16816 Covariance between ETFUS and ETFCDA = 0.02397 What is the standard deviation for ETFCDA?
The goal of the local Agenda 21 Program was to help communities generate activities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. According to its website, Environment Canada planned to sponsor individual and community actions to promote sustainable development and greener societies for $6 million in 1997, and $5.2 million in 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2001. a) Display each item along an appropriate timeline. b) Find the formula and compute the present value of the Agenda 21 Program in 2023 dollars (using a 5% annual discount rate), c) Suppose that this program is the only action Canada undertakes in this domain. If some economists at Environment Canada claimed that the Action 21 Program is worth undertaking, because the amount you calculated in b) is equivalent to the change in consumer surplus (in the relevant markets, say for medical care, etc.) due to living in a greener environment, would you agree or disagree with these economists? Explain.

An analyst estimates (after tax) the cost of debt capital for ABC is 3.5% and that its cost of equity capital is 5.0%. Assume that ABC’s tax rate is 21%, the risk-free rate is 2.1%, the market risk premium is 5%, the ABC market price is $85 per common share, and its dividends are $1.30 per common share. a)Compute ABC’s average pretax borrowing rate and its market beta. b)Assume that its dividends continue at the current level in perpetuity. Use the constant perpetuity DDM and the market price to infer the market’s expected cost of equity capital. c)Compare the inferred cost of equity capital from part b to the 5.0% estimated cost of equity capital from the analyst. Comment on any difference.
