To solve: use the simple interest calculation.

interest earned over the life of the bond = (bond price)(coupon rate)(years)
= (2,000)(0.04)(20)
= $1,600

So after 20 years on a 4% coupon bond starting at $2,000 Muriel will earn $1,600 in interest.

Two roadway designs are under consideration for access to a permanent suspension bridge. Design 1A will cost $1.7 million to bui
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer and Explanation:

A. Given that Design 1A will cost $1.7 million to build and $175,000 per year to maintain

Given that Design 1B will cost $3.6 million to build and $40,000 per year to maintain

Both designs are assumed to be permanent

To find ROR using AW based rate of return equation, we find present value of each design and equate them:

Each design is permanent so

Present value of perpetuity:

Design 1A= 1700000+175000/r

Design 1B = 3600000+40000/r

=1700000+175000/r=3600000+40000/r

135000/r=1900000

Cross multiply

r=135000/1900000

r= 0.0710

r=7.10%

B Given that ROR=7.10% and MARR is 25%

MARR>ROR

Hence we reject both designs

PMT (Periodic Payment) = $6,000 ($200,000 x 6% x 1/2)

FV (Future Value) = $200,000

Results:

PV = $215,589.16

Sum of all periodic payments = $120,000 ($6,000 x 20)

Total Interest $104,410.84

Hi,

This type of communication could be interpersonal communication or formal communication

Explanation

Interpersonal communication occurs in company when it is done between two or more individuals at a workplace. For this case, the communication was between the vice president of research and development and the vice president of marketing. This could also be a formal communication where a hierarchy at the workplace is followed because the two vice presidents from different departments first talked before involving junior staff members. In this case, the two vice presidents are communicating formally with each other to get work done.
