- You are considering a 10-year investment project. At present, the expected cash flow each year is 10,000. Suppose, however, that each years cash flow is normally distributed with mean equal to last years actual cash flow and standard deviation 1000. For example, suppose that the actual cash flow in year 1 is 12,000. Then year 2 cash flow is normal with mean 12,000 and standard deviation 1000. Also, at the end of year 1, your best guess is that each later years expected cash flow will be 12,000. a. Estimate the mean and standard deviation of the NPV of this project. Assume that cash flows are discounted at a rate of 10% per year. b. Now assume that the project has an abandonment option. At the end of each year you can abandon the project for the value given in the file P11_60.xlsx. For example, suppose that year 1 cash flow is 4000. Then at the end of year 1, you expect cash flow for each remaining year to be 4000. This has an NPV of less than 62,000, so you should abandon the project and collect 62,000 at the end of year 1. Estimate the mean and standard deviation of the project with the abandonment option. How much would you pay for the abandonment option? (Hint: You can abandon a project at most once. So in year 5, for example, you abandon only if the sum of future expected NPVs is less than the year 5 abandonment value and the project has not yet been abandoned. Also, once you abandon the project, the actual cash flows for future years are zero. So in this case the future cash flows after abandonment should be zero in your model.)Assume a company's Income Statement for Year 12 is as follows: Year 12 (in 000s) Income Statement Data Net Revenues from Footwear Sales $ 580,000 370,000 40,000 75,000 15,000 90,000 Cost of Pairs Sold Warehouse Expenses Marketing Expenses Administrative Expenses Operating Profit (Loss) Interest Income (Expense) Pre-tax Profit (Loss) Income Taxes Net Profit (Loss) (15,000) 75,000 22,500 $ 52,500 Based on the above income statement data and assuming the company has 20 million shares of common stock outstanding , the company's operating profit margin and EPS were Copyright O by Glo-Bus Software, Inc.

These risks include; credit risk liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, foreign exchange risk, solvency risks, operational risks and model risk. Which of the following is not true about credit risk? Select one: a. Performance risk is similar to credit risk. The borrower´s performance on an operation or specific project determines the degree of transaction risk. b. Measures based on the credit quality of the debt. As ratings are ordinal measures, they are sufficient to value credit risk. c. The risk of the issuers and borrowers are evaluated in prices in a capital market setting and can be seen visibly, or through credit spreads, or as add-ons to the risk-free rate. d. Credit risk is similar to country risk, which is essentially the risk crisis in a country. Examples of…A restaurant borrows $15,200 from a local bank for 10 months.

You areprovided with the following information:Collection Pattern for Credit Sales: 65% of the company’s credit sales are collected in the monthof sale, 30% in the month following the month of sale, and 5% are uncollectible.Credit Sales: January 2019, $100,000; February 2019, $120,000; March 2019, $110,000.Required1. Generate a spreadsheet model regarding estimated bad debts expense under the following assumptionsregarding the rate of uncollectible accounts: 1%, 3%, 5% (base case), and 8%. Prepare an estimate of baddebts expense for each of three months, January through March, and for the quarter as a whole.2. What is the value to Tyson Company of creating a model and then performing the what-if analysis?Annual returns on small stocks have a population mean of 12% and a population standard deviation of 20%.
