What is the NPV of the following series of cash flows when the discount rate is 10% given as an effective annual rate?

The first payment of $90 is in 3 years, followed by payments every 6 months in perpetuity after that which shrink by 3% every 6 months. That is, the growth rate every 6 months is actually negative 3%, given as an effective 6 month rate. So the payment at $t=3.5$ years will be $90(1-0.03)^1=87.3$, and so on. A company has: • 10 million common shares outstanding, each trading at a price of$90.
• 1 million preferred shares which have a face (or par) value of $100 and pay a constant dividend of 9% of par. They currently trade at a price of$120 each.
• Debentures that have a total face value of $60,000,000 and a yield to maturity of 6% per annum. They are publicly traded and their market price is equal to 90% of their face value. • The risk-free rate is 5% and the market return is 10%. • Market analysts estimate that the company's common stock has a beta of 1.2. The corporate tax rate is 30%. What is the company's after-tax Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC)? Assume a classical tax system. A share was bought for$30 (at t=0) and paid its annual dividend of $6 one year later (at t=1). Just after the dividend was paid, the share price fell to$27 (at t=1). What were the total, capital and income returns given as effective annual rates?

The choices are given in the same order:

$r_\text{total}$ , $r_\text{capital}$ , $r_\text{dividend}$.

A 60-day Bank Accepted Bill has a face value of $1,000,000. The interest rate is 8% pa and there are 365 days in the year. What is its price now? A new company's Firm Free Cash Flow (FFCF, same as CFFA) is forecast in the graph below. To value the firm's assets, the terminal value needs to be calculated using the perpetuity with growth formula: $$V_{\text{terminal, }t-1} = \dfrac{FFCF_{\text{terminal, }t}}{r-g}$$ Which point corresponds to the best time to calculate the terminal value? Which firms tend to have high forward-looking price-earnings (PE) ratios? The efficient markets hypothesis (EMH) and no-arbitrage pricing theory are most closely related to which of the following concepts? A company conducts a 2 for 3 rights issue at a subscription price of$8 when the pre-announcement stock price was $9. Assume that all investors use their rights to buy those extra shares. What is the percentage increase in the stock price and the number of shares outstanding? The answers are given in the same order. The phone company Optus have 2 mobile service plans on offer which both have the same amount of phone call, text message and internet data credit. Both plans have a contract length of 24 months and the monthly cost is payable in advance. The only difference between the two plans is that one is a: • 'Bring Your Own' (BYO) mobile service plan, costing$80 per month. There is no phone included in this plan. The other plan is a:
• 'Bundled' mobile service plan that comes with the latest smart phone, costing $100 per month. This plan includes the latest smart phone. Neither plan has any additional payments at the start or end. Assume that the discount rate is 1% per month given as an effective monthly rate. The only difference between the plans is the phone, so what is the implied cost of the phone as a present value? Given that the latest smart phone actually costs$600 to purchase outright from another retailer, should you commit to the BYO plan or the bundled plan?

"Buy low, sell high" is a well-known saying. It suggests that investors should buy low then sell high, in that order.

How would you re-phrase that saying to describe short selling?
