g100num [7]

Answer:

It will be sold at $1,186.71

Explanation:

We will calculate the present value of the cuopon payment and the maturity at the new market rate of 7%

<u>The coupon payment will be calcualte as the PV of ordinary annuity</u>

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C $50 (1,000 x 10%/2 as there are 2 payment per year)

time    16 (8 years x 2 payment per year)

rate     0.035 (7% rate / 2 payment per year)

50 \times \frac{1-(1+0.035)^{-16} }{0.035} = PV\\

PV $604.7058

<u>The maturity will be calculate as the PV of a lump sum</u>

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity  1,000.00

time         8 years

rate  0.07

\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.07)^{8} } = PV  

PV   582.01

<u>The market price will be the sum of both:</u>

PV cuopon $604.7058

PV maturity  $582.0091

Total $1,186.7149

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Initial Cost = $180

Explanation:

Payback period estimates the time an investment projects resulting cash flows take to recover the initial amount o=invested in the project. A traditional payback period doesnot take present value into account and just focuses on the nominal recovery of the initial investment.

If a capital budgeting project provides inflows of $50 per year and the payback period is 3.6 years, the initial investment is:

3.6 = 50 + 50 + 50 + x

Where x = 0.6 of 50

and x = 0.6 * 50 = 30

Initial cost = 50 + 50 + 50 + 30 = $180
