Ibbotson Inc., a company with expertise in designing Internet-related computer software, is considering two possible capital investments. The first would require an initial investment of $1 million, but is forecast to repay $700,000 each year for two years. The second would require an initial investment of $2 million, but would repay $950,000 per year for three years. The appropriate discount rate (the required return) is 10% per year. Other than these two projects, your firm has no superior investment alternatives. Assume that your goal is to maximize shareholder value. A. Compute the NPV and the IRR for each project. If Ibbotson must choose between the two projects, which should it take?
B. The manager who provided the cash flow estimates for the first project argues that the company should invest shareholder capital to obtain the highest possible returns, and he asserts that this is project one. Does his argument alter your assessment of which project is better? Explain.
C. The second proposed project involves rice farming in Thailand. The manager who provided the cash flow forecasts is known to relish the idea of a two-year overseas assignment. The first proposed project involves development of software designed to search the Internet to obtain and compare prices for specified goods. Is this information relevant in choosing among the two projects?

Four analysts cover the stock of fluorine chemical. one forecasts a 6% return for the coming year. the second expects the return to be negative 6%. the third predicts a return of 8%. the fourth expects a 2% return in the coming year. you are relatively confident that the return will be positive but not large, so you arbitrarily assign probabilities of being correct of 35 % comma 8 %, 17 %, and 40%, respectively, to the analysts' forecasts. given these probabilities, what is fluorine chemicals expected return for the coming year

Total marketing effort is a term used to describe the critical decision factors that affect demand: price, advertising, distribution, and product quality. define the variable x to represent total marketing effort. a typical model that is used to predict demand as a function of total marketing effort is based on the power function: d = axb suppose that a is a positive number. different model forms result from varying the constant b. sketch the graphs of this model for b = 0, b = 1, 0< b< 1, b< 0, and b> 1. (we encourage you to use excel to do this.) what does each model tell you about the relationship between demand and marketing effort? what assumptions are implied? are they reasonable? how would you go about selecting the appropriate model?
