Principles FM212/FM492 of Finance MT Problem Sets
FM212 - Class Assignments (Michaelmas Term) Each class assignment in Part 1 consists of 3 questions. Students should attempt written answers to the questions before the respective class.
Class 1
1. A parcel of land costs $500,000. For an additional $800,000 you can build a motel on the property. The land and motel will be worth $1,500,000 next year. Assume that there is no risk and that the risk free interest rate is 10%. Would you construct the motel? Why or why not?
2. You run a construction firm. You have just won a contract to build a government office building. Building it will require an investment of $10 million today and $5 million one in year. The government will pay you $20 million in one year. Both year one cash flows occur at the same time. Suppose the cash flows and their times of payment are certain, and the riskfree interest rate is 10%. a. What is the NPV of this opportunity? b. How can your firm turn this NPV into cash today?
3. You have an investment opportunity in Japan. It requires an investment of $1 million today and will produce a cash flow of 114 million in one year with no risk. Suppose the risk-free interest rate in the United States is 4%, the risk-free interest rate in Japan is 2% and the current exchange rate is 110 per $1. What is the NPV of this investment? Is it a good opportunity?
