Chance’s statement is the most accurate. When cash flows are negative in the analyst’s comfortable forecast time horizon, the RI model is most appropriate. Residual income is sometimes called economic profit because it estimates the company’s profit after deducting the cost of all capital. The RI model is less sensitive to estimates of ter- minal value than discounted dividend or cash flow models.
Tinker is incorrect: Residual income is sometimes called economic profit because it is an estimate of the profit of the company after deducting the cost of all capital. . Evers is incorrect: The residual income model is less sensitive to estimates
of terminal value than discounted dividend or cash flow models.

. Annisquam is correct with regards to his comments on calibrating a binomial interest rate tree. because his comments are correct. because his comments are correct.

LeCompte violated Requirement 6, Relationships with Subject Companies, by sharing the full research report with NanoMem. Sharing any section of a research report that might communicate the analyst’s proposed recommendation, rating, or price target is prohibited by the Research Objectivity Standards.

LeCompte shared with UniFlash management only the part of her report on UniFlash that provides factual information.

. Annisquam is incorrect in Comment 1. The interest rate tree performs two functions in the valuation process: (1) generating the cash flows that are interest rate dependent and (2) supplying the interest rates used to determine the present value of the cash flows.
because Comment 3 is correct. because Comment 2 is correct.

1 Drawbridge sold AUD 5 million forward to the settlement date at an all-in forward price of 0.8940 (USD/AUD).
2 To mark the position to market, Drawbridge offsets the forward transaction by buying AUD 5 million three months forward to the settlement date.
3 For the offsetting forward contract, because the AUD is the base currency in the USD/AUD quote, buying AUD forward means paying the offer for both the spot rate and forward points.
I. The all-in three-month forward rate is calculated as 0.9066 – 0.00364 = 0.90296
II. This gives a net cash flow on settlement day of 5,000,000 × (0.8940 – 0.90296) = –USD44,800 (This is a cash outflow because Drawbridge sold the AUD for- ward and the AUD appreciated against the USD).
4 To determine the mark-to-market value of the original forward position, calculate the present value of the USD cash outflow using the three-month USD discount rate: –USD44,8000/[1 + 0.0023(90/360)] = –USD44,774.
. The present value of the cash flow was not calculated (step 4 of
calculation).
. The cash flow was calculated using the bid rate instead of the offer rate.
1 The all-in three-month forward rate = 0.9062 – 0.00368 = 0.90252
2 This gives a net cash flow on settlement day of 5,000,000 × (0.8940 – 0.90252) = – USD42,600, and the present value is calculated as –USD42,600/[1 + 0.0023(90/360)] = –USD42,576.
