A drug company is considering investing $100 million today to bring a weight loss pill to the market. At the end of one year, the firm will know the payoff; there is a 0.50 probability that the pill will sell at a high price and generate $37 million per year of profit forever and a 0.50 probability that the pill will sell at a low price and generate $I million per year of profit forever. The interest rate is 10%. Suppose the firm decides to wait one year to determine whether the pill will sell at a high or low price. The firm will not invest if it learns that the pill will sell at a low price. What is the net present value of waiting one year to make the investment?O $88 millionO$122.72 millionO $201.22 millionO $64.5 million
HomeGrown is a small restaurant that specializes in serving local fruits, vegetables, and meats. The company has chosen to enter into a long-term relationship with Family Farms, a local farming operation. The two parties have decided to enter into a long-term contract, where Family Farms will supply produce to HomeGrown at specified prices and volume each year. Before signing a contract, HomeGrown is trying to decide how long the contract should be. It estimates that each year the contract covers saves the restaurant $1,000 in bargaining and opportunism costs. However, each year the contract covers also requires more legal fees. HomeGrown estimates that the number of hours required from lawyers, L, has a quadratic relationship with the number of years on the contract, so that L = Y2, where Y is the number of years for the contract. If HomeGrown’s lawyers charge $100 per hour, how long should the contract be?

- You are considering a $500,000 investment in the fast-food industry and have narrowed your choice to either a McDonald’s or a Penn Station East Coast Subs franchise. McDonald’s indicates that, based on the location where you are proposing to open a new restaurant, there is a 25 percent probability that aggregate 10-year profits (net of the initial investment) will be $16 million, a 50 percent probability that profits will be $8 million, and a 25 percent probability that profits will be −$1.6 million. The aggregate 10-year profit projections (net of the initial investment) for a Penn Station East Coast Subs franchise is $48 million with a 2.5 percent probability, $8 million with a 95 percent probability, and −$48 million with a 2.5 percent probability.

- A manager has to decide whether to prepare a bid or not. It costs P5,000 to prepare the bid. If the bid is submitted, the probability that the contract will be awarded is 50%. If the company is awarded the contract, it may earn an income of P100,000 if it succeeds, or pay a fine of P8,000 if it fails. The probability of success is estimated to be 80%.

A tobacco company isinterested in hiring a salesperson to promote smoking cigarettes in nightclubs. The position pays a flat salary of $50,000, regardless of sales levels. The firm has two applicants, Predictable Patty and Risky Ricky. Predictable Patty can produce with 100% certainty $100,000 a year in sales. Risky Ricky, on the other hand, can produce $300,000 with probability of 50%. But if he turns out to spend his time drinking and dancing in the nightclubs instead of making sales, he could actually cost the firm -$100,000 per year.a) During their first year on the job, what are the expected sales of Patty and Ricky?

Lemons are worse quality cars and are more likely to break down than plums. John is willing to pay £10, 000 for a plum and £2, 000 for a lemon. Unfortunately, however, he cannot distinguish between the two types. Sellers can offer a warranty that would cover the full cost of any repair needed by the car for y ∗ years. Considering the type and likelihood of problems their cars can have, owners of plums estimate that y years of guarantee would cost them 1000y, owners of lemons estimate that the cost would be 2000y. John knows these estimates and decides to offer £10, 000 if a car comes with y ∗ years of warranty, £2, 000 if a car comes without warranty. For which values of y ∗ is there a separating equilibrium where only owners of plums are willing to offer the y ∗ -years warranty? Clearly explain your reasoning.arrow_forward
