- It is January 1 of year 0, and Merck is trying to determine whether to continue development of a new drug. The following information is relevant. You can assume that all cash flows occur at the ends of the respective years. Clinical trials (the trials where the drug is tested on humans) are equally likely to be completed in year 1 or 2. There is an 80% chance that clinical trials will succeed. If these trials fail, the FDA will not allow the drug to be marketed. The cost of clinical trials is assumed to follow a triangular distribution with best case 100 million, most likely case 150 million, and worst case 250 million. Clinical trial costs are incurred at the end of the year clinical trials are completed. If clinical trials succeed, the drug will be sold for five years, earning a profit of 6 per unit sold. If clinical trials succeed, a plant will be built during the same year trials are completed. The cost of the plant is assumed to follow a triangular distribution with best case 1 billion, most likely case 1.5 billion, and worst case 2.5 billion. The plant cost will be depreciated on a straight-line basis during the five years of sales. Sales begin the year after successful clinical trials. Of course, if the clinical trials fail, there are no sales. During the first year of sales, Merck believe sales will be between 100 million and 200 million units. Sales of 140 million units are assumed to be three times as likely as sales of 120 million units, and sales of 160 million units are assumed to be twice as likely as sales of 120 million units. Merck assumes that for years 2 to 5 that the drug is on the market, the growth rate will be the same each year. The annual growth in sales will be between 5% and 15%. There is a 25% chance that the annual growth will be 7% or less, a 50% chance that it will be 9% or less, and a 75% chance that it will be 12% or less. Cash flows are discounted 15% per year, and the tax rate is 40%. Use simulation to model Mercks situation. Based on the simulation output, would you recommend that Merck continue developing? Explain your reasoning. What are the three key drivers of the projects NPV? (Hint: The way the uncertainty about the first year sales is stated suggests using the General distribution, implemented with the RISKGENERAL function. Similarly, the way the uncertainty about the annual growth rate is stated suggests using the Cumul distribution, implemented with the RISKCUMUL function. Look these functions up in @RISKs online help.)arrow_forwardIn the financial world, there are many types of complex instruments called derivatives that derive their value from the value of an underlying asset. Consider the following simple derivative. A stocks current price is 80 per share. You purchase a derivative whose value to you becomes known a month from now. Specifically, let P be the price of the stock in a month. If P is between 75 and 85, the derivative is worth nothing to you. If P is less than 75, the derivative results in a loss of 100(75-P) dollars to you. (The factor of 100 is because many derivatives involve 100 shares.) If P is greater than 85, the derivative results in a gain of 100(P-85) dollars to you. Assume that the distribution of the change in the stock price from now to a month from now is normally distributed with mean 1 and standard deviation 8. Let EMV be the expected gain/loss from this derivative. It is a weighted average of all the possible losses and gains, weighted by their likelihoods. (Of course, any loss should be expressed as a negative number. For example, a loss of 1500 should be expressed as -1500.) Unfortunately, this is a difficult probability calculation, but EMV can be estimated by an @RISK simulation. Perform this simulation with at least 1000 iterations. What is your best estimate of EMV?arrow_forwardA project does not necessarily have a unique IRR. (Refer to the previous problem for more information on IRR.) Show that a project with the following cash flows has two IRRs: year 1, 20; year 2, 82; year 3, 60; year 4, 2. (Note: It can be shown that if the cash flow of a project changes sign only once, the project is guaranteed to have a unique IRR.)arrow_forward

The lender offered a lower interest rate because the loan is secured. Why would a real estate loan be considered a secure loan? О The loan is backed by the property itself. If the borrower defaults on the loan, the lender can sell the property to get their money back. O In order to qualify for a home loan, the borrower must have good credit. Good credit is a form of security for the lender. O All real estate loans are considered unsecure. O Most home loans are long-term loans, which are considered low-risk from the lender's perspective.arrow_forward
- Where a financial institution makes a loan commitment, the borrower, in drawing down on their loan commitment, causes increased cash flow needs by the DI to fund the loan commitments. There are three ways a DI can offset the effect of Asset-side liquidity risk such as drawing down of a loan commitment in all of the following sitiuations Except: a. Reduce excess cash reserves to minimum levels required to meet reserve requirements based on the decision made by management independant of regulatory requirements. b. Reduce balance sheet items such as retain earnings to the meet the minimum required capital levels. c. Taking offsetting measures such as borrowing funds or even purchasing funds on the money market. d. Reducing liquid type assets on their balance sheet such at T-bills by selling them.arrow_forward9) Today is your 20th birthday. Your parents just gave you $5,000 that you plan to use to open a stock brokerage account. Your plan is to add $500 to the account each year on your birthday. Your first $500 contribution will come one year from now on your 21st birthday. Your 45th and final $500 contribution will occur on your 65th birthday. You plan to withdraw $5,000 from the account five years from now on your 25th birthday to take a trip to Europe. You also anticipate that you will need to withdraw $10,000 from the account 10 years from now on your 30th birthday to take a trip to Asia. You expect that the account will have an average annual return of 12 percent. How much money do you anticipate that you will have in the account on your 65th birthday, following your final contribution?arrow_forwardABC Corporation has recently given out a nine-month contract to a construction subcontractor. At the end of the first month, it becomes obvious that the subcontractor is not reporting costs according to an appropriate WBS level. ABC Corporation asks the subcontractor to change its cost reporting procedures. The subcontractor states that this cannot be done without additional funding. This problem has occurred with other subcontractors as well. What can ABC Corporation do about this?arrow_forward
