Salvatore's Chapter 15:

a. Discussion Questions: 7.

b. Problems: 8, 10, and spreadsheet problem 1.

Note:

1. P8: Remember the firm has a limited capital budget of $2.4 million for the coming year. In other words, the firm faces the capital rationing and should use the profitability index as its investment criterion (pp. 637–640).

2. P10: Use the dividend valuation model (pp. 642–643). “A share of the common stock of the company currently sells for eight times current dividends.”

3. Spreadsheet problem: Change the present value coefficient from 1/(1+0.5)n to 1/(1+0.05)n. That is the discount rate of 5% instead of 50%
