In Australia, domestic university students are allowed to buy concession tickets for the bus, train and ferry which sell at a discount of 50% to full-price tickets.

The Australian Government do not allow international university students to buy concession tickets, they have to pay the full price.

Some international students see this as unfair and they are willing to pay for fake university identification cards which have the concession sticker.

What is the most that an international student would be willing to pay for a fake identification card?

Assume that international students:

• consider buying their fake card on the morning of the first day of university from their neighbour, just before they leave to take the train into university.
• buy their weekly train tickets on the morning of the first day of each week.
• ride the train to university and back home again every day seven days per week until summer holidays 40 weeks from now. The concession card only lasts for those 40 weeks. Assume that there are 52 weeks in the year for the purpose of interest rate conversion.
• a single full-priced one-way train ride costs $5. • have a discount rate of 11% pa, given as an effective annual rate. Approach this question from a purely financial view point, ignoring the illegality, embarrassment and the morality of committing fraud. The following is the Dividend Discount Model used to price stocks: $$p_0=\frac{d_1}{r-g}$$ Which of the following statements about the Dividend Discount Model is NOT correct? A 30-day Bank Accepted Bill has a face value of$1,000,000. The interest rate is 2.5% pa and there are 365 days in the year. What is its price now?

The perpetuity with growth equation is:

$$P_0=\dfrac{C_1}{r-g}$$

Which of the following is NOT equal to the expected capital return as an effective annual rate?

Which one of the below statements about effective rates and annualised percentage rates (APR's) is NOT correct?

Which of the below formulas gives the payoff $(f)$ at maturity $(T)$ from being long a put option? Let the underlying asset price at maturity be $S_T$ and the exercise price be $X_T$.

A stock will pay you a dividend of $2 tonight if you buy it today. Thereafter the annual dividend is expected to grow by 3% pa, so the next dividend after the$2 one tonight will be $2.06 in one year, then in two years it will be$2.1218 and so on. The stock's required return is 8% pa.

What is the stock price today and what do you expect the stock price to be tomorrow, approximately?

A company manager is thinking about the firm's book assets-to-equity ratio, also called the 'equity multiplier' in the Du Pont formula:

$$\text{Equity multiplier} = \dfrac{\text{Total Assets}}{\text{Owners' Equity}}$$

What's the name of the decision that the manager is thinking about? In other words, the assets-to-equity ratio is the main subject of what decision?

Note: Du Pont formula for analysing book return on equity:

\begin{aligned} \text{ROE} &= \dfrac{\text{Net Profit}}{\text{Sales}} \times \dfrac{\text{Sales}}{\text{Total Assets}} \times \dfrac{\text{Total Assets}}{\text{Owners' Equity}} \\ &= \text{Net profit margin} \times \text{Total asset turnover} \times \text{Equity multiplier} \\ \end{aligned}
