Question 1
Complete and submit to your instructor Case 14.1: Alternative investment options 9 (pages 613-614) and Case 15.2: Hedging with Stock-index futures (pages 647-648). Instructions are as follows: The final cases should demonstrate understanding of the reading as well as the implications of new knowledge. The 15 to 20 page paper covering both cases should integrate readings and class discussions into work and life experiences. It may include explanation and examples from previous experiences as well as implications for future applications. The purpose of the Final Cases is for you to culminate the learning achieved in the course by describing your understanding and application of knowledge in the field of financial investment management. Use formulas to calculate the answers to mathematical sections and round to the nearest whole number. Clearly label the analysis. Case Problem 14.1 The Franciscos? Investment Options Hector Francisco is a successful businessman in Atlanta. The box-manufacturing firm he and his wife, Judy, founded several years ago has prospered. Because he is self-employed, Hector is building his own retirement fund. So far, he has accumulated a substantial sum in his investment account, mostly by following an aggressive investment posture. He does this because, as he puts it, ?In this business, you never know when the bottom?s gonna fall out.? Hector has been following the stock of Rembrandt Paper Products (RPP), and after conducting extensive analysis, he feels the stock is about ready to move. Specifically, he believes that within the next 6 months, RPP could go to about $80 per share, from its current level of $57.50. The stock pays annual dividends of $2.40 per share. Hector figures he would receive two quarterly dividend payments over his 6-month investment horizon. In studying RPP, Hector has learned that the company has 6-month call options (with $50 and $60 strike prices) listed on the CBOE. The CBOE calls are quoted at $8 for the options with $50 strike prices and at $5 for the $60 options. Questions a. How many alternative investment vehicles does Hector have if he wants to invest in RPP for no more than 6 months? What if he has a 2-year investment horizon? b. Using a 6-month holding period and assuming the stock does indeed rise to $80 over this time frame: 1. Find the value of both calls, given that at the end of the holding period neither contains any investment premium. 2. Determine the holding period return for each of the 3 investment alternatives open to Hector Francisco. c. Which course of action would you recommend if Hector simply wants to maximize profit? Would your answer change if other factors (e.g., comparative risk exposure) were considered along with return? Explain. Case Problem 15.2 Jim and Polly Pernelli Try Hedging with Stock-Index Futures Jim Pernelli and his wife, Polly, live in Augusta, Georgia. Like many young couples, the Pernellis are a 2-income family. Jim and Polly are both college graduates and hold high-paying jobs. Jim has been an avid investor in the stock market for a number of years and over time has built up a portfolio that is currently worth nearly $375,000. The Pernellis? portfolio is well diversified, although it is heavily weighted in high-quality, mid-cap growth stocks. The Pernellis reinvest all dividends and regularly add investment capital to their portfolio. Up to now, they have avoided short selling and do only a modest amount of margin trading. Their portfolio has undergone a substantial amount of capital appreciation in the last 18 months or so, and Jim is eager to protect the profit they have earned. And that?s the problem: Jim feels the market has pretty much run its course and is about to enter a period of decline. He has studied the market and economic news very carefully and does not believe the retreat will cover an especially long period of time. He feels fairly certain, however, that most, if not all, of the stocks in his portfolio will be adversely affected by these market conditions?though some will drop more in price than others. Jim has been following stock-index futures for some time and believes he knows the ins and outs of these securities pretty well. After careful deliberation, Jim and Polly decide to use stock-index futures?in particular, the S&P MidCap 400 futures contract?as a way to protect (hedge) their portfolio of common stocks. Questions a. Explain why the Pernellis would want to use stock-index futures to hedge their stock portfolio, and how they would go about setting up such a hedge. Be specific. 1. What alternatives do Jim and Polly have to protect the capital value of their portfolio? 2. What are the benefits and risks of using stock-index futures as hedging vehicles? b. Assume that S&P MidCap 400 futures contracts are currently being quoted at 769.40. How many contracts would the Pernellis have to buy (or sell) to set up the hedge? 1. Say the value of the Pernelli portfolio dropped 12% over the course of the market retreat. To what price must the stock-index futures contract move in order to cover that loss? 2. Given that a $16,875 margin deposit is required to buy or sell a single S&P 400 futures contract, what would be the Pernellis? return on invested capital if the price of the futures contract changed by the amount computed in part b1, above? c. Assume that the value of the Pernelli portfolio declined by $52,000, while the price of an S&P 400 futures contract moved from 769.40 to 691.40. (Assume that Jim and Polly short sold one futures contract to set up the hedge.) 1. Add the profit from the hedge transaction to the new (depreciated) value of the stock portfolio. How does this amount compare to the $375,000 portfolio that existed just before the market started its retreat? 2. Why did the stock-index futures hedge fail to give complete protection to the Pernelli portfolio? Is it possible to obtain perfect (dollar-for-dollar) protection from these types of hedges? Explain. d. What if, instead of hedging with futures contracts, the Pernellis decide to set up the hedge by using futures options? Fortunately, such options are available on the S&P MidCap 400 Index. These futures options, like their underlying futures contracts, are also valued/priced at $500 times the underlying S&P 400 Index. Now, suppose a put on the S&P MidCap 400 futures contract (with a strike price of 769) is currently quoted at 5.80, and a comparable call is quoted at 2.35. Use the same portfolio and futures price conditions as set out in part c to determine how well the portfolio would be protected if these futures options were used as the hedge vehicle. (Hint: Add the net profit from the hedge to the new depreciated value of the stock portfolio.) What are the advantages and disadvantages of using futures options, rather than the stock-index futures contract itself, to hedge a stock portfolio? Must be 15- to 20- double-spaced pages in length and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the approved APA style guide. Must include a cover page that includes: Student?s name Course name and number Title of paper Instructor?s name Date submitted Must include an introductory paragraph with a succinct thesis statement.

Question 2
Assignment Type: Discussion Board Deliverable Length: 150?250 words Points Possible: 75 Due Date: 1/8/2012 11:59:59 PM CT The Discussion Board (DB) is part of the core of online learning. Classroom discussion in an online environment requires the active participation of students and the instructor to create robust interaction and dialogue. Every student is expected to create an original response to the open-ended DB question as well as engage in dialogue by responding to posts created by others throughout the week. At the end of each unit, DB participation will be assessed based on both level of engagement and the quality of the contribution to the discussion. At a minimum, each student will be expected to post an original and thoughtful response to the DB question and contribute to the weekly dialogue by responding to at least two other posts from students. The first contribution must be posted before midnight (Central Time) on Wednesday of each week. Two additional responses are required after Wednesday of each week. Students are highly encouraged to engage on the Discussion Board early and often, as that is the primary way the university tracks class attendance and participation. The purpose of the Discussion Board is to allow students to learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content and the DB question. Because it is not possible to engage in two-way dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB will be accepted after the end of each week. Use an search engine on the Internet to find examples of images or Web sites with images of bad grammar used in advertising, company Web sites, or news articles. For example, you can search "bad grammar in advertising" or "bad grammar examples" and ?Click on any of the Web sites listed, or ?Click "Images" at the top to view only images (from Web sites) with tags matching your keywords. If you click on the image, it will take you to the Web site location. Find at least 3 examples of poor grammar on various Web sites, making sure to list your Web references. For example, you might click and use Motivated Grammar as a starting point for searching for your examples. If you are able, right click the image to copy it, then paste the image on the Discussion Board directly (with the link for reference). If you are unable to do so, it is sufficient to provide only the link. In your Discussion Board posting, include the following: ?A description of the grammatical errors you found in each of your examples (i.e., wrong word, misspelled word, run-on sentences) ?Your edited version ?Your opinion on how the errors reflect on the company, author, or editor. How do you personally feel about the company given the grammar error involved? In your responses, you are to look at the images posted and add your own opinion as to the image reflected from the grammatical errors. In your own words, please post a response to the Discussion Board and comment on other postings. You will be graded on the quality of your postings. For assistance with your assignment, please use your text, Web resources, and all course materials.,OK Thanks,ok thanks
Question 3
1. Twelve days ago A. Corporate Raider acquired 10 shares of stock in SMPL Corp. The Original Shareholders own the remaining 30 shares and the share price is currently $10. The Board of Directors of SMPL Corp. does not want Mr. Raider to gain control of the firm and, after consulting a recent graduate of a MBA program, have decided their best strategy is an exclusionary self tender offer to the Original Shareholders. If the Board uses cash to buy 10 shares from the Original shareholders at $15 per share, what will be the value of the 10 shares held by Mr. Raider after the tender offer is complete? In answering assume all original shareholders tender their shares and round to the nearest whole dollar. Answer: a. $150 b. $100 c. $83 d. $167 e. $63 2. A merger is more likely to succeed if: Answer: a. Management is able to correctly identify the specific sources of expected synergies. b. The acquiring firm uses an industry based discount rate to evaluate incremental cash flows from the merger. c. The target firm has no free cash flow. d. The bid price and the present value of synergy are evaluated using the flow-to-equity approach. e. The target firm has no preferred stock. 3. To increase the NPV of a merger management of the acquiring firm should: Answer: (a) Increase the premium paid for target shares. This is particularly effective for diversifying mergers and when acquirers use considerable amount of debt to fund the acquisition. This is known as the leverage effect and it works primarily by reducing the co-insurance discount. (b) Avoid paying a premium for target shares. (c) Reduce the estimate of synergies for the acquisition. One of the reasons so few mergers have a positive NPV is that management usually overestimates the value of synergies. (d) Use debt to finance the acquisition because the dollar volume of debt issues dominates equity issues by a considerable margin. (e)All of the above will increase the NPV of a merger. (f)None of the will increase the NPV of a merger. 4. If two leveraged firms merge, the cost of debt for the new firm will generally be lower than it was for the two firms as separate entities. One reason for this is Answer: (a) strategic fits. (b) net operating losses. (c) surplus funds. (d) co-insurance. (e) None of the above.
