<span>Time and interest rates are directly related to one another. When paying a loan that accures interest, the longer it takes for you to pay the loan back, the more interest you are going to pay on that loan.

The total cost of equipment that should be recorded is calculated by adding up all the given values in this item. The costs include equipment cost, transportation cost, tax, and installation cost. Adding up all the values,
TC = ($60,000) + ($1,000) + ($3,000) + ($2,500)
TC = $66,500
ANSWER: TC = $66,500
Answer:
a) $393.65
b) $458.11
c) $217.63
Explanation:
Given data:
16-year ( n )
$1000 par value ( FV )
6% ( R )
A) determine the initial price of the bond
= FV / ( 1 + R ) ^ n
= 1000 / ( 1.06 ) ^ 16
= 1000 / 2.5403 = $393.65
B ) when interest rate drops to 5% determine the value of the zero-coupon rate of bond
= FV / ( 1 + R ) ^n
= 1000 / ( 1.05 ) ^ 16
= 1000 / 2.1829 = $458.11
C ) when interest rate increases to 10% determine the value of the zero-coupon rate of bond
= Fv / ( 1 + R ) ^ n
= 1000 / ( 1.1 ) ^ 16
= 1000 / 4.5950 = $217.63
