Answer:

Rational is based on the logical preference. Being irrational does not means that the choice is made based on monetary preference. It is more logical than monetary.

Explanation:

The two friends took same courses in college but after the completion of college degree one decides to go for MBA and other pursues PhD in English. The expected earnings of MBA are higher than PhD but one of friend who chooses the PhD has not considered the logical decision making based on money. He might have chose the PhD because he is more interested in becoming a professor rather than a business professional.

victus00 [196]

Answer:

Price = $3,241,718

Explanation:

To calculate issue price of the bonds we first calculate NPV of the bonds after 12 years and Interest payments of the bonds for 12 years.

NPV can be calculated by : Bond value * NPV factor after 12 years

so, Bond Value after 12 years = $3700 000 * 0.2567  = $949,790

We take the market interest rate for this.

Now we calculate Yearly interest payment = 3700000 * 10% = $370,000

we discount it back using annuity for 12 years so, 370000 * 6.1944 = $2,291,000. This is the total interest payments for 12 years in NPV terms.

To calculate issue price simply add Interest payments and Bond NPV value so,

Price  =  2291000 + 949790 = $3,241,718

Hope that helps.
