Explanation:
The internal rate of return shall be determined by the Insurance firm using the following mentioned method:
Cash flows Year involved Present [email protected]% Present [email protected]%
($100) 1-20 ($851) ($1,487.75)
$3,310 20 $492 $1,832.67
($359) $344.92
IRR=A%+ (a/a-b)*(B%-A%)
A%=10% a= ($359) B%=3% b=$344.92
IRR=10%+(-$359/-$359-$344.92)*(3%-10%)
=6.43%

Answer:
A. the Manufacturer has effectively used vertical integration to increase it's bargaining position and reduce transaction costs.
Explanation:
Vertical integration is a business strategy whereby a business acquires ownership or controls its suppliers, distributors, or retail locations to control its value or supply chain.
It may also be said that vertical integration has to do with the purchase of a part of all of the production or sales process that was previously outsourced, to have it done in-house.
An example of companies who have done this are:
1. Apple
2. Netflix
3. Comcast (Which acquired NBC)
Businesses can integrate by
- purchasing their suppliers to reduce the costs of manufacturing or
- controlling the distribution process that is, owning and controlling the warehousing and delivery of their products etc.
Answer:
1. PV = 101.87
2. YTM = 7.46%
3. Price of the bond is $100.92
Explanation:
PV = 8.5/ (1.065) + 108.5/ (1.075)2
PV = 7.981 + 93.889
PV = 101.87
Part B:
PV = 101.870
FV = 100
N = 2
PMT = 8.5
Using Financial Calculator:
r = 7.459237
YTM = 7.46%
Part C:
The forward rate for next year, derived from the zero-coupon yield curve, is approximately:
(1 + forward Rate) = (1 + 0.075)2/ (1.065)
forward rate = 8.51%
Price of the bond = 108.5/ (1.0851)
Price of the bond = 100
Part D:
Interest Rate = 8.51% - 1% = 7.51%
Price of the bond = 108.5/ (1.0751)
Price of the bond = 100.92
