An investor has two bonds in his portfolio that have a face value of $1,000 and pay an 11% annual coupon. Bond L matures in 10 years, while Bond S matures in 1 year. Assume that only one more interest payment is to be made on Bond S at its maturity and that 10 more payments are to be made on Bond L. What will the value of the Bond L be if the going interest rate is 5%? Round your answer to the nearest cent. $ What will the value of the Bond S be if the going interest rate is 5%? Round your answer to the nearest cent. $ What will the value of the Bond L be if the going interest rate is 8%? Round your answer to the nearest cent. $ What will the value of the Bond S be if the going interest rate is 8%?

Round your answer to the nearest cent. $ Why does the longer-term bond’s price vary more than the price of the shorter-term bond when interest rates change? Long-term bonds have lower reinvestment rate risk than do short-term bonds. The change in price due to a change in the required rate of return increases as a bond's maturity decreases. Long-term bonds have greater interest rate risk than do short-term bonds. The change in price due to a change in the required rate of return decreases as a bond's maturity increases.

You are trying to decide how much to save for retirement. Assume you plan to save $ 8,000 per year with the first investment made one year from now. You think you can earn 11.0 % per year on your investments and you plan to retire in 44 years, immediately after making your last $ 8,000 investment.
a. How much will you have in your retirement account on the day you retire?
b. If, instead of investing $ 8,000 per year, you wanted to make one lump-sum investment today for your retirement that will result in the same retirement saving, how much would that lump sum need to be?
c. If you hope to live for 17 years in retirement, how much can you withdraw every year in retirement (starting one year after retirement) so that you will just exhaust your savings with the 17 th withdrawal (assume your savings will continue to earn 11.0% in retirement)?
d. If, instead, you decide to withdraw $ 1,421,000 per year in retirement (again with the first withdrawal one year after retiring), how many years will it take until you exhaust your savings? (Use trial-and-error, a financial calculator: solve for "N", or Excel: function NPER)
e. Assuming the most you can afford to save is $ 1,600 per year, but you want to retire with $ 1,000,000 in your investment account, how high of a return do you need to earn on your investments? (Use trial-and-error, a financial calculator: solve for the interest rate, or Excel: function RATE)

You must evaluate a proposal to buy a new milling machine. The base price is $192,000, and shipping and installation costs would add another $16,000. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and it would be sold after 3 years for $134,400. The applicable depreciation rates are 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7%. The machine would require a $8,500 increase in net operating working capital (increased inventory less increased accounts payable). There would be no effect on revenues, but pretax labor costs would decline by $46,000 per year. The marginal tax rate is 35%, and the WACC is 13%. Also, the firm spent $5,000 last year investigating the feasibility of using the machine.

You must evaluate the purchase of a proposed spectrometer for the R&D department. The base price is $170,000, and it would cost another $25,500 to modify the equipment for special use by the firm. The equipment falls into the MACRS 3-year class and would be sold after 3 years for $76,500. The applicable depreciation rates are 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7%. The equipment would require a $9,000 increase in net operating working capital (spare parts inventory). The project would have no effect on revenues, but it should save the firm $42,000 per year in before-tax labor costs. The firm's marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 40%.
