You have an option to purchase all of the assets of the Overland Railroad for $2.5 billion. The option expires in 9 months. You estimate Overland’s current (month 0) present value (PV) as $2.7 billion. Overland generates after-tax free cash flow (FCF) of $50 million at the end of each quarter (i. e., at the end of each three-month period). If you exercise your option at the start of the quarter, that quarter’s cash flow is paid out to you. If you do not exercise, the cash flow goes to Overland’s current owners. In each quarter, Overland’s PV either increases by 10 percent or decreases by 9.09 percent. This PV includes the quarterly FCF of $50 million. After the $50 million is paid out, PV drops by $50 million. Thus the binomial tree for the first quarter is (figures in millions):
Month 0 now Month 3 end of quarter
PV before payout--FCF= end of quarter PV
PV=2700 2970-50=2920
(+10%)
2455-50=2405
(-9.09%)
The risk-free interest rate is 2 percent per quarter.
(a) Build a binomial tree for Overland, with one up or down change for each 3-month period (three steps to cover your 9-month option).
(b) Suppose you can only exercise your option now, or after 9 months (not at month 3 or 6). Would you exercise now?
(c) Suppose you can exercise now, or at month 3, 6, or 9. What is your option worth today? Should you exercise today, orwait?

The monthly payment m of a loan of amount p for y years with an interest rate r can be calculated by the formula: m = p(r/12) 1 â’ (1 + r/12)â’12y calculate the monthly payment and the cummulative total payment for a $100,000 loan with an interest rate of 4.85% if taken out for 10 years, for 11 years, etc., up to a 30 year term. display the results in a three-column table where the first column is the number of years, the second is the monthly payment, and the third is the cummulative total payment. note: use format bank; for this problem. also, remember to represent the interest rate as a decimal (e. g. 0.0485) 2. a torus-shaped water tube is designed to have a volume of 8, 000in3 . the volume of the tube, v , and its surface area, s, are given by: v = 1 4 ď€ 2 (a + b)(b â’ a) 2 s = ď€ 2 (b 2 â’ a 2 ) if a = kb, determine s, a, and b for k = 0.2, 0.3, 0.7. display the results in a table

Nellie lumpkin, who suffered from dementia, was admitted to the picayune convalescent center, a nursing home. because of her mental condition, her daughter, beverly mcdaniel, signed the admissions agreement. it included a clause requiring the par- ties to submit any dispute to arbitration. after lumpkin left the center two years later, she filed a suit against picayune to recover damages for mistreatment and malpractice. [covenant health & rehabilitation of picayune, lp v. lumpkin, 23 so.2d 1092 (miss. app. 2009)] (see page 91.) 1. is it ethical for this dispute—involving negligent medical care, not a breach of a commercial contract—to be forced into arbitration? why or why not? discuss whether medical facilities should be able to impose arbitration when there is generally no bargaining over such terms.
