The Karns Oil Company is deciding whether to drill for oil on a tract of land that the company owns. The company estimates the project would cost $4 million today. Karns estimates that, once drilled, the oil will generate positive net cash flows of $2 million a year at the end of each of the next 4 years. Although the company is fairly confident about its cash flow forecast, in 2 years it will have more information about the local geology and about the price of oil. Karns estimates that if it waits 2 years then the project would cost $5 million. Moreover, if it waits 2 years, then there is a 90% chance that the net cash flows would be $2.1 million a year for 4 years and a 10% chance that they would be $1.1 million a year for 4 years. Assume all cash flows are discounted at 10%.
Use the Black-Scholes model to estimate the value of the option. Assume the variance of the project's rate of return is 5.12% and that the risk-free rate is 7%.

Answer:

Investing today is a better option because it has a better NPV of $2.3398 million

Explanation:

Given data :

For Today's Investment

Initial capital investment = $4 million

positive cash flow = $2 million

period of cash flow = 4 years

project cost of capital = 10%

To get the value of This option we have to determine the NPV of this option

NPV = PMT * [tex][\frac{1-(1+r)^-4}{r} ] - initial cash flow[/tex]   ----------- (1)

PMT = $2 million

r = 10%

initial cash flow = $4 million

Equation 1 becomes

NPV = (2 * 3.1699 ) - 4

        = $6.3398 - $4 =  $2.3398 million

For later investment ( 2 years )

initial capital investment = $5 million

90% chance of positive cash flow = $2.1 million

10% chance of positive cash flow = $1.1 million

project cost of capital = 10%

NPV value for a cash flow of $1.1 million

NPV = PMT * [tex][\frac{1-(1+r)^-4}{r} ] - initial cash flow[/tex]

PMT = $1.1 million

initial cash flow = $5 million

r = 10%

Hence NPV = ($1.1 * 3.1699 ) - $5 million

                    = $3.48689 - $5 million

                    = - $1.51311  

therefore the present NPV =   - $1.51311 / 1.21 =  -$1.25 million  ( therefore no investment will be made )

NPV value for a cash flow of $2.1 million

NPV = PMT * [tex][\frac{1-(1+r)^-4}{r} ] - initial cash flow[/tex]

PMT = $2.1 million

initial cash flow = $5 million

r = 10%

hence NPV = ($2.1 * 3.1699 ) - $5 million

                   = $6.65679 - $5

                   = $1.65679

therefore the present NPV = $ 1.65679 / 1.21 = $1.369 million

The Expected NPV value of later investment ( after 2 years )

= $0 * 10% + $1.369 * 90%

= $1.2321 million

Which of the following statements are true? Explain.a. A lower allocation to the risky portfolio reduces the Sharpe (reward-to-volatility) ratio.b. The higher the borrowing rate, the lower the Sharpe ratios of levered portfolios.c. With a fixed risk-free rate, doubling the expected return and standard deviation of the risky portfolio will double the Sharpe ratio.d. Holding constant the risk premium of the risky portfolio, a higher risk-free rate will increase the Sharpe ratio of investments with a positive allocation to the risky asset.

Garvey's Fine Furnishings manufactures upscale custom furniture. currently uses a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor hours to allocate its of manufacturing overhead to individual jobs.​ However, ​, owner and​ CEO, is considering refining the​ company's costing system by using departmental overhead rates.​ Currently, the Machining Department incurs of manufacturing overhead while the Finishing Department incurs of manufacturing overhead. has identified machine hours​ (MH) as the primary manufacturing overhead cost driver in the Machining Department and direct labor​ (DL) hours as the primary cost driver in the Finishing Department.
Requirement 1. Compute the plantwide overhead rate assuming that Garvey's expects to incur 30,000 total DL hours during the year First identify the formula, then compute the rate.
Total manufacturing overhead / Cost allocation base = Plantwide overhead
(estimated) rate
$1,290,000 / 30,000 = 43
Requirement 2. Compute departmental overhead rates assuming that Garvey's expects to incur 14,500 MH in the Machining Department and 17,500 DL hours in the Finishing Department during the year. First identify the formula, then compute the rate for each department.
Total department / Cost allocation base = Departmental
overhead (estimated) overhead rate
Machining 870,000 / 14,500 = 60 per mach hour
Finishing 420,000 / 17,500 = 24 per DL hour
Requirement 3. If Garvey's continues to use the plantwide overhead rate, how much manufacturing overhead would be allocated to Job 450 and Job 455? Identify th formula, then calculate the amount of manufacturing overhead that would be allocated to the jobs if the plantwide overhead rate is used.
Actual use of Manufacturing overhead
Plantwide overhead rate x allocation base = allocated
Job 450 43 x 5 = 215
Job 455 43 x 5 = 215
Requirement 4. Based on your answers to Requirements 2 and 3, does the plantwide overhead rate overcost or undercost either job? Explain. If Garvey's sells its furniture at 125% of cost, will its choice of allocation systems affect product pricing? Explain.
The single plantwide rate undercosts Job 450 by $1 and undercosts Job 455 by $216.

Middle management is the intermediate management level accountable to top management and responsible for leading lower level managers. Which of the following is not a typical function of middle management? Middle management is at the center of a hierarchical organization, subordinate to the senior management but above the lowest levels of operational staff. Middle managers are accountable to top management for their department’s function. They provide guidance to lower-level managers and inspire them to perform better. Middle managers balance a functional or technical understanding of those who report to them with the interpersonal skills of a manager. This form of leadership requires a strong ability to communicate, mentor, train, hire, organize, optimize processes, and prioritize. Middle-management functions generally revolve around enabling teams of workers to perform effectively and efficiently and reporting these performance indicators to upper management. Middle management may be reduced in organizations as a result of reorganization. Such changes can take the form of downsizing," delayering," and outsourcing.
