Sinclair Pharmaceuticals, a small drug company, has developed a vaccine that will protect against Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium that is the cause of a number of diseases of the stomach. It is expected that Sinclair Pharmaceuticals will experience extremely high growth over the next three years & will reinvest all of its earnings in expanding the company over this time. Earnings were $1.65 per share before the development of the vaccine (in year 0) & are expected to grow by 40% per year for the next three years. After this time, it is expected that growth will drop to 6% & stay there for the expected future. Four years from now Sinclair will begin paying dividends that are equal to 75% of its earnings. If its equity cost of capital is 12%, what is the value of a share of Sinclair Pharmaceuticals today?
Gorilla, Inc., has recently launched a ramen/sushi fusion dish that has received an overwhelmingly positive reaction from the market. In response to this success, the company is reinvesting all of its earnings to fuel further expansion. This past year, the earnings per share stood at $10, and these are anticipated to increase by 20% annually over the next five years. However, by the end of the fifth year, it's expected that competitors will introduce similar products. Consequently, analysts forecast that Gorilla will then reduce its reinvestment rate and start distributing 60% of its earnings as dividends. Additionally, from that point onwards, the company's growth rate is projected to decelerate to a stable 3% per annum. If Gorilla's equity cost of capital is 8%, what is the value of a share today?

Employees at JPGR Inc have been busy evaluating a potential new $9 million investment for their firm that would last 9 years. The operations and inventory managers believe that the firm would not need to invest now in net working capital (NWC), but expect that expenses will increase by $5.65 million per year, starting a year from now. The marketing team believes that sales will vary year to year, but equate to a $7.45 million annuity, starting a year from now. The investment assets will be depreciated to zero over the life of the project, but should yield scrap value of $550,000. The firm faces a 30% tax rate and the firm would require a return of 12.5% APR compounded annually on this project. (A) What is the NPV of the project? (B) Based on value reached in part (A), should the firm accept or reject the project?
