Opportunity Cost of Capital and WACC

trinomial default model

accounting statements

 

The solution to Q14 in the financial analysis handout is incorrect.  Correct is 14(a) .0847 and 14(b) .1429.  Make sure you can get those answers.  Extra credit to anyone who can figure out how the authors (or the grad student who came up with the solutions) got their incorrect answers.

 

The solution manual has an error for exercise 2.8.  You should be able to spot the error yourself, but ask me if you don’t see it.

 

The solution manual has an error for exercise 5.14 part (b).  A hint for the correct solution: when you sell something short you get cash in return.
