Hi, I'm attaching a case for corporate finance that I am working along along with what I have for it as answers so far. I'm basically just looking for someone to double check the answers and show their work if they get a different answer for any of the questions. Offering $20. Thanks

Island Reclamation: Case 3 Finance-Moeller The uncertainty about future legislation has created a panic in the development market and Island Reclamation may have to turn down what Will Miller, Island's founder and CEO, believes is a good project. Will has been working with the county for years to allow his company to reclaim former industrially used islands in the Allegheny River. Once the clean up of an island is done, Island Reclamation then develops office, retail and residential properties on the island. Panther Island, may be the first in a series of developments but because of the upcoming local elections, Will believes he needs to begin the development soon. However, his investors are wary of committing the necessary funds at this time in the tentative real estate market. Will understands the investors concerns about this investment and believes he has come up with a creative solution. However, Will needs to value this unique solution and explain to his investors the benefits of this project. Island Reclamation has the expertise to clean up the island and since the seller must clean it prior to sale, the seller of the island is willing to enter a joint venture which will end in one year with Island Reclamation's option to buy the land for $15 million. Will Miller believes Island Reclamation can easily perform this task without sacrificing any other cash flows. The seller has agreed to pay all of the incremental clean up costs but they want Island Reclamation to pay an up front fee to enter into the joint venture. After preliminary talks with the seller, Will believes the fee will be no more than $3 million. If Island Reclamation buys the land in a year, they will continue to maintain the island and that cost will be offset by a two year lease they have agreed to give to the county. In two years the county government has agreed to buy the land for $10 million if Island Reclamation does not want to further develop the island. The county government is also open to an early termination of their lease at the end of a year and potentially buying the island. If Island Reclamation maintains possession of the land, it will be ready for speeding development and this phase will only take a year and cost $200 million. After that year, Will believes the property will take three years to become fully occupied and after cash flows will level off (year 7 flows will go on forever). The cash flows for the occupied property are shown in the table below. Year 3 After tax cash inflows Capital spending -200 4 9 5 12 6 20 7 20 Island Reclamation estimates their standard deviation of cash flows as 40%, their opportunity cost as 12% and the risk free rate as 5%. For the binomial option valuation, assume the distribution of cash flows is normal. 1 Will believes that the following information needs to be displayed and explained to his investors. 1. A decision tree 2. Fully describe each option. 3. Using binomial option pricing methodology and assuming Island Reclamation pays $3 million to enter the joint venture, what is the value of this project? 4. Assume Island Reclamation could do this project immediately (with the cash flows in the above table starting at time 0), what is the NPV? Compare the difference between the value in part (3) and part (4). What factors are driving the valuation difference? 5. What should Will recommend to his investors? 6. Using the Black Scholes Model, value the possibility that Island Reclamation will be able to develop two more islands, one in five years and one in ten years. The cash flows of these two projects are shown below. Will believes that the riskiness of the cash flows will reduce over this period so assume the standard deviation is 20%, the opportunity cost is 10% and the risk free rate is 5%. Assume the last year flows of each project goes on forever and these flows are lognormal.

So make sure you answer the questions posed and explain your calculations like you were talking to the investors. In other words, in contrast to the other cases, I also expect you to write the case study \"in character\". Create a presentation that the investors could look at. Make sure you include a copy of the calculations in the attachments to the case so we can easily see the 5 inputs (S, X, Rf, T, and sigma). A one page print out of the option pricing we created during the in class option exercises is a good way to display the valuation. (DO NOT print those formula sheets from Excel, they are impossible to read and not informative.) 2 Please hand in one hard copy at the beginning of the first class of your group. Make sure and bring a copy of the work with your to class so we can work the problem together. 3 Decision Tree 2) Options involved - a. Call option for Island Reclamation (IR) for the project with strike = Value of JV in Y0 b. Chooser option for IR with strike assumed to be discounted value of the county govt. offer ($9.52 million) in Y2 c. Chooser option for IR with strike assumed to be discounted value of the county govt. offer ($9.52 million) in Y3 The three options can also be seen as a compound option i.e. 3. Pi = 0.50625, Value of project = Value of Call - Value of Put = 4.184-3 = $1.184 million 4. NPV (new) - $17.84 million, NPV in part (3) - $25.06 million Difference - the project becomes more attractive as the value of put becomes greater than that of call Factors driving valuation 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) Uncertainty of legislation Buying price of county government Expected return of the project after cash flows level off Risk free rate Volatility of cash flows 5. Try to convince the investors to invest contingent upon the seller reducing the price of the JV 6. New Pi - 0.525 U - 1.02 D - 0.98 Similar approach as above for valuing the projects
