Matollows and 250 shillings in the following year. After that, dividends are expected to grow at constant 5% per year. If the required rate of return is 10%, what price should investors pay for such shares today? 4. Suppose a firm is considering a project that would require an initial cash outlay of 15 million shillings and expected to generate shs 4.5 million each year for the next 4 years. The firm assumes that the prices and costs increases at the same rate and that the required rate of return expressed in nominal terms is 14%. The firm also practices a policy whereby cash flows are stated at the prices of period zero. The inflation rate is expected to be 5%. (a)Outline two ways in which the effects that inflation has on the acceptability of investment projects could be considered. (b)Using the NPV technique, is the project worth taking? What have you learned from your analysis as far as treating inflation in investment analysis is concerned? 30/2021 4:39:41 PM Page 1 of 2
The demand D (in billions of £) for a bond with coupon rate 5% and face value FV = 1000, andtwo years to maturity as a function of its price P is D = 4000 − 2P. The supply in (billions of£) as a function of the price of the bond is S = 2P + 400. b) Suppose that the yield to maturity of the bond is i = 0.05. What is the quantitydemanded/supplied at this interest rate? What happens to the demand/supply of the bond asthe interest rate increases? Explain why. c) What is the equilibrium interest rate? d) Suppose that the bond trades at premium. Is there excess demand or supply? Explain.e) There is a business cycle expansion, so both supply and demand shifts. After the shift, thenew demand curve is given by: D = 4000 + X − 2P, whereas the new supply curve is S =2P + 200. For which values of X will the interest increase/decrease? Which values of X arein line with empirical data?

2. A man is considering investing P500, 000 to open a semi-automatic auto-washingbusiness in a city of 400, 000 population. The equipment can wash, on the average, 12 carsper hour, using two men to operate it and to do small amount of hand work. The man plansto hire two men, in addition to himself, and operate the station on an 8-hour basis, 6 daysper week, 50 weeks per year. He will pay his employees P25. 00 per hour. He expects tocharge P25. 00 for a car wash. Out-of-pocket miscellaneous cost would be P8, 500 permonth.He would pay his employees for 2 weeks for vacations each year. Because of the length ofhis lease, he must write off his investment within 5 years. His capital now is earning 15%,and he is employed at a steady job that pays P25, 000 per month. He desires a rate ofreturn of at least 20% on his investment. Would you recommend the investment?a) Use ROR method b) Use present worth method c) Use future worth method d) Solve for the payback period and the IRR
