KYou work for a pharmaceutical company that has developed a new drug. The patent on the drug will last 19 years. You expect that the drug's profits will be $4 million in its first year and that thisamount will grow at a rate of 4% per year for the next 19 years. Once the patent expires, other pharmaceutical companies will be able to produce the same drug and competition will likely driveprofes to zero. What is the present value of the new drug if the interest rate is 11% per year?The present value of the new drug is million (Round to three decimal places)

Present value is capital budgeting technique which we can know the present value of future benefits.…

Suppose you are contemplating buying a collector's edition of a John Maynard Keynes Action Figure. You would have to make a down payment today of $1,000 and then pay $1,875 at the end of two years from now (ie year 2). If you buy it today, a year from today ( ie year 1), you would sell the Action Figure for $2,750. Your minimum acceptable rate of return (MARR) is 20%. Find the positive breakeven interest rates on your potential investment. b. Determine whether this is a pure investment. (Use only one breakeven interest rate in your calculation – doesn't matter which one). C. Suppose you use the modified internal rate of return MIRR to evaluate investments. Calculate MIRR and determine if you should buy the Action Figure. (Note: use MARR when evaluating both cash inflows and cash outflows). d. Find the True IRR (You may assume that i is such that PB1 >0) and determine if you should buy the Action Figure.

you brought an investment that pays 2000 each year for 10 years, starting in year 10. (i) if the interest rate for investment of this type was 8%. how much would it have cost you? (ii) five years have passed, the rate required by investor is now 10%, what is the investment now worth?
Consider two interest rate scenarios for investing over next 20 years. In steady scenario A, you get interested of 4% each year. In choppy scenario B, in the first year you get that rate plus 10% but then in next year get that rate minus 10% and so forth. The average rate is the same in each scenario. But for an initial investment of $4000, how much more is A worth than B at the end of the period?
