Problem 1
VS = AT Operating Margin * (1- Reinvestment Rate) * (1 + g)/(WACC - g)
Reinvestment Rate = g / ROC = g / (AT Operating Margin * Sales/Capital)
Let the margin for Generic Office be x,
VS for Generic Office = 1.5 = x (1-.05/2x)(1.05)/(.10-.05)
Solve for x,
x = (1.5*.05+(.05/2)*1.05)/1.05
x= 9.64%
HK's after-tax operating margin = 9.64% (1.05) = 10.13% ! I also gave full credit if you added 5% to get 14.64%
HK's VS ratio =.1013 (1-.05/2*.1013)(1.05)/(.10-.05) = 1.6023

Variance = Expected variance in ln(gold prices) = 0.09
r = Riskfree rate = 6.00%

d. The developed reserves will become less valuable, since oil prices are down.
The undeveloped reserves may become more or less valuale depending upon whether the effect of S or the effect of variance is greater on the option value.

EV/Sales = 1.8
Return on capital = 12.00% ! After-tax Operating Margin * Sales/Capital
Reinvestment Rate = 25.00% ! g/ ROC
EV/Sales = After-tax Operating Margin * (1-Reinvestment Rate)/ (Cost of capital -g)
