Your company has finished working on an open world video game, CyberPerson 2080. You now have a decision to make. You can auction your game off to a publisher, or you can keep your game and do the marketing and publishing yourself. If you auction your game off, your analytics team estimates there is a 25% chance you will earn $5 million, a 35% chance you will earn $12 million, and a 40% chance you will earn $16 million. If you keep your game, your marketing and publishing costs will be $7 million. If you keep your game, your analytics team estimates there is a 30% chance your game will be a critical and commercial hit, a 25% chance your game will sell well and make gross revenues of $12 million, and a 45% chance another similar game will come out at the same time and you will make gross revenues of $1 million.

If your game is a critical and commercial hit, there is a 60% chance it is on the "best of the year" lists and makes gross revenues of $64 million, a 35% chance it stays on the top seller lists for weeks and makes gross revenues of $28 million, and a 5% chance it makes gross revenues of $18 million. Assume you make decisions using expected value, and you are an expected value maximizer. If you make the optimal decision, how much will you expect to earn from your game?

Lease or Sell Casper Company owns a equipment with a cost of $366,000 and accumulated depreciation of $53,200 that can be sold for $273,400, less a 3% sales commission. Alternatively, Casper Company can lease the equipment to another company for three years for a total of $285,200, at the end of which there is no residual value. In addition, the repair, insurance, and property tax expense that would be incurred by Casper Company on the equipment would total $15,100 over the three years.
Prepare a differential analysis on March 23 as to whether Casper Company should lease (Alternative 1) or sell (Alternative 2) the equipment. For those boxes in which you must enter subtracted or negative numbers use a minus sign.

REITs pay dividends in order to retain their favorable tax status. As the next chapter on stock explains, corporate dividends are made from earnings. REIT dividends often are not made from earnings but the distributions are made from funds from operations (FFO). REIT accounting earnings are adjusted for noncash expenses such as deprecia-tion to determine funds from operations. In addition, a REIT may sell a property and distribute the proceeds. For these reasons, financial analysts often use FFO instead of earnings to analyze a REIT. Distributions are often more highly correlated with per-share funds from operation than they are with earnings per share (EPS). Consider the following FFO and EPS for Washington Real Estate Trust:
Year 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014
Distributions $1.16 1.23 1.31 1.39 1.47 1.55 1.60 1.64 1.68 1.72 1.73 1.74 1.74 1.47 1.20 1.20
FFO
$1.57 1.79 1.96 1.97 2.04 2.05 2.07 2.12 2.31 2.12 2.06 1.96 1.95 1.84 1.69 1.51
EPS
$1.24 1.26 1.38 1.32 1.13 1.09 1.84 0.88 1.34 0.67 0.71 0.60 1.58 0.35 0.55 1.67
To verify that the dividend distribution is more strongly correlated with FFO than with EPS, compute the correlation coefficients relating the distributions to FFO and to EPS.
