Your buddy in mechanical engineering has invented a money machine. The main drawback of the machine is that it is slow. It takes

one year to manufacture $ 70. ​However, once​ built, the machine will last forever and will require no maintenance. The machine takes one year to be built and will cost $ 1000. Your buddy wants to know if he should invest the money to construct it. If the interest rate is 5 % per​ year, what should your buddy​ do? What is your advice if the machine takes one year to​ build?
A) calculate the NPV (Solution the profs gave:333, I got 400)
B) You convince your friend to improve the machine so that the amount of produced money will increase every year by 1% (Solution the profs gave: 667, I got 750)

Based on the amount it would cost to build the machine and the interest rate as well as the payoff, the following are true:

  • A. $333
  • B. $667

a. The machine will take a year to build which means the payoff will only start coming in next year.

First find the present value of the perpetuity:

= 70 / 5%

= $1,400

You then need to find the present value of the above in the current period:

= 1,400 / ( 1 + 5%)

= $1,333

NPV is:

= 1,333 - 1,000 cost

= $333

B. If the amount produced increases by 1%, you should use the Gordon Growth Model:

<em>= Next payoff / ( Interest - Growth)</em>

=70/ ( 5% - 1%)

= $1,750

Take this to current year:

= 1,750 / 1.05

= $1,667

NPV will be:

= 1,667 - 1,000

= $667

FIN issues a $1000 par value bond that pays 7 precent annula interest and will mature in 14 years. The current market price for
Serjik [45]

Answer:

7.05 %

Explanation:

After tax cost of debt = interest x ( 1 - tax rate)

so, the initial step is to determine the interest rate :

The Bond Yield (i/yr) presents the market rate and this is what we want for our interest rate.

thus,

PV = -  [$950 - ($950 x14%)] = - $817<em>(remove floatation cost from market price)</em>

FV = $1000

PMT = $1000 x 7 % = $70.00

P/YR = 1

N = 14

i/yr = ??

Using a financial calculator to input the values as above, the Bond Yield (i/yr) will be 9.40 %

therefore,

After tax cost of debt = 9.40 % x (1 - 0.25)

                                    = 7.05 %
