The probability that each economic condition will occur, and that a jewelry store will earn profits within that broader economic condition, are listed below: Economic Condition Probability Jewelry Store Profits Boom 0.40 $400,000 Moderate Growth 0.30 $300,000 Recession 0.20 $100,000 Depression 0.10 -$500,000 The standard deviation of the jewelry store's profits next year (rounded to the nearest dollar) is

Suppose a company borrows 1 million in debt to invest in a project that generates uncertain future cash flow (revenue) of $0-$2 million (when the debt is due). The debt has to be repaid (interest rate is zero) when the project's cash flow is realized. Assume that 20% of the cash flow (revenue) is lost upon bankruptcy (i.e. when debtholders control the firm). Also, assume that renegotiations are allowed and the manager may be allowed to stay if debtholders find it better than firing. Instead of equal bargaining power, if the lender has 30% bargaining power (lender gets 60% of renegotiation), at what company cash flow does strategic default start to occur? A. 0.85 million B. 1.16 million C. 1.25 million D. 1.65 million
