Answer:

(C) Higher.

Explanation:

The computation of the present value in both the cases are as follows:

In the first case

Given that

Assume the par value i.e. future value be $1,000

PMT = $1,000 × 9% = $90

RATE = 9%

NPER = 7

The formula is shown below

=-PV(RATE;NPER;PMT;FV;TYPE)

After applying the above formula, the present value is $863.09

In the second case

Given that

Assume the par value i.e. future value be $1,000

PMT = $1,000 × 9% = $90

RATE = 9%

NPER = 6

The formula is shown below

=-PV(RATE;NPER;PMT;FV;TYPE)

After applying the above formula, the present value is $876.66

So as we can see that the price of the bond would increased

Answer:

A. 2 years

B. 86.96

C. 16.46%

Explanation:

Payback period calculates the amount of time taken to recoup the initial investment made on a project.

The net present value substracts the present value of tax adjusted cash flows from the amount invested in the project.

Using the financial calculator to find the NPV:

Cash flow for year 0 = -500

Cash flow for year 1 = 300

Cash flow for year 2 = 200

Cash flow for year 3 = 150

Interest rate = 6%

NPV = $86.96

Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the tax adjusted cash flows from a project to the original amount invested.

Using the financial calculator to find the NPV:

Cash flow for year 0 = -500

Cash flow for year 1 = 300

Cash flow for year 2 = 200

Cash flow for year 3 = 150

Interest rate = 6%

IRR = 16.46%
