1. Financial institutions in the U.S. economy Suppose Andrew would like to use $3,000 of his savings to make a financial investment. One way of making a financial investment is to purchase stock or bonds from a private company. Suppose TouchTech, a hand-held computing firm, is selling stocks to raise money for a new lab-a practice known as finance. Buying a share of Touch Tech stock would give Andrew the firm. In the event that TouchTech runs into financial difficulty, will be paid first. Suppose Andrew decides to buy 100 shares of TouchTech stock. Which of the following statements are correct? Check all that apply. TouchTech earns revenue when Andrew purchases 100 shares, even if he purchases them from an existing shareholder. The price of his shares will rise if TouchTech issues additional shares of stock. Expectations of a recession that will reduce economywide corporate profits will likely cause the value of Andrew's shares to decline. Alternatively, Andrew could make a financial…

1. Financial institutions in the U.S. economy Suppose Bob would like to use $4,000 of his savings to make a financial investment. One way of making a financial investment is to purchase stock or bonds from a private company.

1. Cost of money Everyone uses money, and it is important to understand what factors affect the cost of money. Consider the following scenario: A friend comes to you and asks you to invest in his business instead of investing in Treasury bonds. You think he has a good business model, so you tell him you are willing to invest as long as the expected return on the investment is at least four times the return you would have received on the Treasury bonds. Determine which of these fundamental factors is affecting the cost of money in the scenario described: Risk Inflation Time preferences for consumption
David Lyons, CEO of Lyons Solar Technologies, is concerned about his firms level of debt financing. The company uses short-term debt to finance its temporary working capital needs, but it does not use any permanent (long-term) debt. Other solar technology companies have debt, and Mr. Lyons wonders why they use debt and what its effects are on stock prices. To gain some insights into the matter, he poses the following questions to you, his recently hired assistant: e. Suppose the expected free cash flow for Year 1 is 250,000 but it is expected to grow faster than 7% during the next 3 years: FCF2 = 290,000 and FCF3 = 320,000, after which it will grow at a constant rate of 7%. The expected interest expense at Year 1 is 128,000, but it is expected to grow over the next couple of years before the capital structure becomes constant: Interest expense at Year 2 will be 152,000, at Year 3 it will be 192,000 and it will grow at 7% thereafter. What is the estimated horizon unlevered value of operations (i.e., the value at Year 3 immediately after the FCF at Year 3)? What is the current unlevered value of operations? What is the horizon value of the tax shield at Year 3? What is the current value of the tax shield? What is the current total value? The tax rate and unlevered cost of equity remain at 25% and 14%, respectively.
Wall Street performs a sort of “financial alchemy” enabling the individual to benefit from institutions lending money to them, according to Adam Davidson, cofounder of NPR’s “Planet Money.” Individuals can invest small amounts of their money in a 401(k), pooling their capital and spreading the risk. Assume you invested in Fidelity New Millennium, FMILX, one of the “10 Best Rated Funds for 2012” by The Street. How much would you pay for 100 shares if the 52-week high is $34.46, the 52-week low is $28.78, and the NAV is 42.08? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)
The Case:Hassan Mustafa has recently started his new job as a financial manager in a firm called ScanSoft. ScanSoft is developing a new process to manufacture optical disks. The development costs were higher than expected, so ScanSoft requires an immediate cash inflow of $5,200,000. To raise the required capital, the company decided to issue bonds. Since ScanSoft had no expertise in issuing and selling bonds, Hassan suggested that the company work with an investment dealer. The investment dealer bought the company's entire bond issue at a discount, and then planned to sell the bonds to the public at face value or the current market value. To ensure it would raise the $5,200,000 it required, ScanSoft plans to issue 5200 bonds with a face value of $1000 each, on January 20, 2021. Interest is paid semi-annually on July 20 and January 20, beginning July 20, 2021. The bonds pay interest at 5.5% compounded semi- annually.Hassan Mustafa realized that when the bonds mature on January 20, 2041,…

A Ponzi scheme is a fraudulent investment operation in which returns to investors are paid from funds collected from new investors rather than from profit earned by the operator. The scheme takes its name from the notorious operation of Charles Ponzi in 1920. The case of Bernie Madoff is a more recent example.† Suppose the operator of a Ponzi scheme pays an initial return to investors of $17,000. Each month, he must recruit enough new investors to increase the return by 3%. (a) Find a formula that gives the return R, in dollars, that the operator must pay after t months. R(t) = (b) How much must the operator pay to investors at the end of 3 years? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) $ Assume that new investors pay $2000 to join the scheme. How many new investors must be recruited at the end of 3 years in order to pay the existing investors? (Enter a whole number of new investors.) ______new investors
