200) Consider a strip mall in Jackson Heights, Queens that recently sold for a cap rate of 7.47%. It's NOI in the following year is $350,000 and is expected to grow at an annual rate of 2%. What is the implied IRR on this investment for the owners of the mall according to the Gordon Growth Dividend Discount model? Write your answer in percent, but do not include the % sign
P14–10 Relaxation of credit standards Lewis Enterprises is considering relaxing its credit standards to increase its currently sagging sales. As a result of the proposed relaxation, sales are expected to increase by 10% from 10,000 to 11,000 units during the coming year, the average collection period is expected to increase from 45 to 60 days, and bad debts are expected to increase from 1% to 3% of sales. The sale price per unit is $40, and the variable cost per unit is $31. The firm’s required return on equal-risk investments is 10%. Evaluate the proposed relaxation, and make a recommendation to the firm. (Note: Assume a 365-day year.)
Ch 7. Decision Trees. For questions 12 and 13, please use the following information:
Ang Electronics, Inc., has developed a new DVDR. If the DVDR is successful, the present value of the payoff (when the product is brought to market) is $28.6 million. If the DVDR fails, the present value of the payoff is $10.2 million. If the product goes directly to market, there is a 40 percent chance of success. Alternatively, the company can delay the launch by one year and spend $1.42 million to test market the DVDR. Test marketing would allow the firm to improve the product and increase the probability of success to 70 percent. The appropriate discount rate is 11 percent.
Calculate the NPV of test marketing before going to market.

- 3Consider a baseline long run equilibrium where output is 22 trillion dollars, and the price level is 100. Note: In the Long Run Steady State Equilibrium, Price expectation is the same as price level & unemployment is 5% or lower. None of these are guaranteed in the short run. Usually, short run equilibrium is called an underemployment equilibrium.• Starting from the baseline, suppose COVID 19 hits this economy.
