Consider a forester who must decide when to cut down a growing tree. Suppose the net value of the tree at any continuous time t is given by f(t) = 10exp{0.01t2}. Assume also that the (continuous) market interest rate is given by r = 0.04. The present discounted value of the tree owner 10 years after it is planted is ???

You are going to earn ωt = $200,000 when working (age 21 and 60), and thenyou are going to live for the next 20 years with ωt = $0. Find the constant level ofconsumption C during years (21-80) that can be financed by your income (Interestrate is 5%). Find the level of savings St = ωt −C for periods t ≤60 and for t > 60
Respond to the question with a concise and accurate answer, along with a clear explanation and step-by-step solution, or risk receiving a downvote. Modifying an assembly line has a first cost of $165,000 and its salvage value is $0. The firm’s interest rate is 10%. The savings shown in the table depend on whether the assembly line runs one, tow, or three shifts and on whether the product is made for 8 or 10 years. Calculate the expected present worth. Round to the nearest cent. Shifts/day Savings P(S) Useful Life P(L) 1 $27,500 25% 8 65% 2 $30,000 40% 10 35% 3 $32,500 35%
If the initial cost of an investment project is not totally sunk (the project is not totally irreversible), one should not consider real options” True or False? Write a short answer that offers a discussion about the statement. (10%)
H4. Firm A has 10 shares. The present value (PV) of the firm is 500, i.e., 50 per share. It has an investment opportunity requiring a costly investment of £X but it must sell new shares to raise this in order to take this opportunity. If it succeeds in issuing and investing, the end period firm PV will be 800 (including the cash raised by any new issue). If the current market price of a share is 33.33, what is the highest investment cost that will allow the project to proceed?
If the net future worth is positive, indicating a surplus, we should accept the investment. True or false?
Moriarty started living in his own condominium after turning 25 years old. When he turned 26, he became fond of buying a pack of Gardenia wheat bread every Saturday at 5:30PM. The price of the bread is Php85.00 per pack. Assume the following: 1. Moriarty will live until 95 years old. 2. The price of the bread will remain constant, 3. Moriarty’s purchasing habits will not change. What is the lifetime value that can be generated from Moriarty as a customer of Gardenia wheat bread?
Assume r = 0.1 is the present real interest rate and this rate is expected to prevail for the next 2 years. The monetary return (i.e. marginal revenue product) on machine A is expected to be R1 = $100,000 for year 1 and R2 = $50,000 for year 2. The present discounted value (PDV) of the net revenue flow from machine A to its owner is equal to ???
2) a) Suppose that a firm considers an investment in 2021. The cost of that investment which will be paid in 2021 is 50 000 000. The lifetime of that investment is 5 years.

B-2. A firm must decide whether to construct a small, medium or large stamping plant. A consultant’s report indicates a 0.20 probability that demand will be low and 0.80 that demand will be high. If the firm builds a small facility and demand turns out to be low, the Net Present Value (NPV) will be $42M. If demand turns out to be high, the firm can either subcontract and realize the NPV of $42M or expand greatly for a Net Present Value of $48M. The firm could build a medium size facility as a hedge: if demand turns out to be low, its NPV is estimated at $22M; if demand turns out to be high, the firm could do nothing and realize a NPV of $46M, or could expand and realize a NPV of $50M. If the firm builds a large facility and demand is low, the NPV will be ($20M), whereas high demand will result in a NPV of $72M.

Suppose that the cost of an investment is €12000 and its return is €5000 per year for three years. At the end of the three years, the value of the equipment is zero. Calculate the net present value (NPV) if the discount rate is 5%. Give only a numerical answer with no symbols. Use a point (.) as a decimal separator and nothing as a thousand separator (e.g., 2325.37 and not 2.325, 37).
