This is highly recommended reading before you begin working on your projects. Learning Objectives Upon completion of this lesson, the student should be able to: 1. discuss the various techniques and terminology used in equity analysis; 2. calculate the present value and net present value of investments; 3. calculate present value ratios and profitability indices; 4. calculate the internal rate of return for an investment; 5. explain the implicit reinvestment assumption involved in yield calculations; and 6. compare different investment alternatives taking into account various reinvestment assumptions and investment time horizons. 6.1
Lesson 6 Review and Discussion Questions 1. Visit the financial website www.bloomberg.com and find out the current price of a stock of your choice. Find out the price of the same stock one year ago and calculate your yield on investment if you had invested $100 in that stock one year ago. Post your results on the BUSI 121 discussion forum and discuss which stock seems to have been the best investment. 2. Many large projects that had a forecasted positive net present value have actually turned out to lose money (especially government projects). Do you think the planners of these projects made a mistake in their calculations? Discuss the pitfalls of using the NPV and IRR measures to decide on project viability. What are the underlying assumptions that affect the validity of these measures? 6.2

Tinker Juarez is considering making an investment in real estate. He has two investment alternatives to consider. The first alternative offers no cash flows during the holding period, but returns $91,462.58 at the end of the holding period. The second alternative offers cash flows of $20,000 at the end of each year during the holding period. Either alternative requires a $58,125 investment today. The alternatives are summarized below: End of Year Alternative 1 Cash Flow Alternative 2 Cash Flow 0 -$58,125 -$58,125 1 $0 $20,000 2 $0 $20,000 3 $0 $20,000 4 $91,462.58 $20,000 What reinvestment rate on Alternative 2, expressed as an effective annual rate, would cause Tinker to be indifferent between these two alternatives based on the return on his investment? (1) 9% (2) 14.12519% (3) 12.00054% (4) There is no reinvestment rate for Alternative 2 which would make Tinker financially indifferent between the two alternatives. 6.4
Real Estate Investment Analysis and Discounting THE NEXT TWO (2) QUESTIONS ARE BASED ON THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION: AJ has recently witnessed his friend Liz's success with her real estate investments and he would like to pursue an investment of his own. At present, the reinvestment rate is j2 = 12% per annum. AJ has discovered a small inn that will provide him with the following cash flows for an investment of $70,000 today: 8. AJ's yield is: Year Cash Flow 1 $ 20,000 2 $ 28,250 3 $ 10,000 4 $ 10,750 5 $ 26,500 6 $ 19,000 Cost $ 70,000 (1) 13.96852% (2) 14.45632% (3) 12.56186% (4) 15.34833% 9.

(4) impossible to determine with the given information. 6.5
Lesson 6 10. Jeff has carefully thought out his investment strategy and believes that he requires a yield of at least 10% per annum, compounded semi-annually. Jeff is currently examining the prospect of investing in a storage complex in Clearwater that will provide him with the payment schedule and acquisition costs outlined below. Given Jeff's desired yield on this project, calculate his net present value (NPV).

Lesson 6 THE NEXT TWO (2) QUESTIONS ARE BASED ON THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION: The Lanskys have recently invested $450,000 in a new condominium project. Below is a summary of the expected cash flows for phase 1, 2, and 3. (Due to be finished in years 3, 5, and 7 respectively) Phase End of Year Cash Flows 1 3 $275,000 2 5 $425,000 3 7 $675,000 17.

(1) increase the yield (2) decrease the yield (3) no change in yield (4) impossible to determine from information given alternatives. THE NEXT TWO (2) QUESTIONS ARE BASED ON THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION: 19. Ned Shred, founder of Shred Mountain Bikes, has made his fortune and is looking for a place to invest his wealth. Ned is considering investing in a mortgage by lending $250,000 to his sister Shelley. Ned will charge Shelley interest at 82% per annum, compounded semi-annually. The loan will have monthly payments based on a 20 year amortization and a 3 year term. The payments will be rounded up to the next higher cent. Ned has discovered that he can deposit all of the payments he receives from the loan into an account that bears interest at a rate of 9% per annum, compounded monthly. If Shelley makes all of her monthly payments on time, and Ned deposits all of all the payments into the account described above, what yield will Ned have earned on his investment at the end of the term of the loan? Express Ned's yield as a nominal rate per annum, compounded monthly. (1) 8.44306% (2) 8.35327% (3) 8.76409% (4) 9% 6.8
