You are considering getting a Little Nero Caesar Salad Franchise, because your boss (the owner of a Down Under Sandwich Shoppe) seems to be making it big. The Down Under Shoppe grosses an average of $380,000 sales annually. You estimate that your business will gross an average of 95% of Down Under’s sales. You must borrow $320,000 from the bank. The bank will charge you 12% per annum interest on this loan. You also will invest $50,000 of your savings in the business (thus you will no longer receive the 4% per annum interest from this). NOTE: neither the bank loan principal nor the $50,000 of your savings you invest is an explicit or implicit cost. However, the interest paid on the bank loan is explicit and the interest foregone on your savings is implicit. Other estimated explicit expenses are: labor $130,000 per year; rent $12,000 a year; utilities $4,000 a year; and salad ingredients $140,000 a year. An explicit expense you will have to pay Little Nero, Inc., is a franchise…
In 30 days Radio Shack must pay yen to a Japanese supplier for a shipment of radios arriving then. Radio Shack can sell each radio for $100 and must pay its supplier ¥9,000 per radio; its profit depends on the dollar/ yen exchange rate. The current spot exchange rate, E$/¥ = $0.0105 per yen. Radio Shack will not have the funds to pay the supplier until the radios arrive and are sold. Over the next 30 days, the dollar may depreciate to $0.0115 per yen, and Radio Shack may incur a loss. Describe how Radio Shack can use a forward exchange deal to insure against the possibility that the depreciation of U.S. currency will turn a profitable importing deal into a loss.

Because the company wants to limit interest payments it has decided, along with the investment bankers, to issue the bond with a low 3.00% coupon even though the market will demand a 6.00% yield to maturity on the bond. Assuming semiannual interest (2 coupons per year) Crazy Racoon has an old bond trading in the secondary market with a low 3.0% coupon. This bond had been issued during a period of very low interest rates at a par value of 100.00 (which means the full $1,000.00 face value of the bond). It pays interest semiannually.

- The Nobel Prize is administered by The Nobel Foundation, a private institution that was founded in 1900 based on the will of Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite. In part, his will stated: “The capital shall be invested by my executors in safe securities and shall constitute a fund, the interest on which shall be annually distributed in the form of prizes to those who, during the preceding year, shall have conferred the greatest benefit on mankind.” The will further stated that the prizes were to be awarded in physics, chemistry, peace, physiology or medicine, and literature. In addition to a gold medal and a diploma, each recipient receives a substantial sum of money that depends on the Foundation’s income that year. The first Nobel Prize was awarded in 1901 in the amount of $150,000. In 1996, the award was $653,000; it was $1.03 million in 2014.
