Assume that 8 years ago you borrowed $200,000 as a 30-year mortgage on your home with an annual percentage rate of 7% at monthly payments (12 payments per year). You plan to refinance this mortgage with a new 30 year low at the current rate of 5%.
a. What is the monthly payment of the original mortgage.
b. How much do you still owe of the original principal after seven years? (Hint: for a loan that is amortized, like a mortgage, the amount you still owe at any time is the present value of the remaining payments that have not yet been made).
c. How much money can you borrow now at the new interest rate if you keep the same monthly payments as the original mortgage?

Martin Enterprises needs someone to supply it with 136,000 cartons of machine screws per year to support its manufacturing needs over the next five years, and you’ve decided to bid on the contract. It will cost you $965,000 to install the equipment necessary to start production; you’ll depreciate this cost straight-line to zero over the project’s life. You estimate that, in five years, this equipment can be salvaged for $118,000. Your fixed production costs will be $540,000 per year, and your variable production costs should be $18.45 per carton. You also need an initial investment in net working capital of $112,000. Assume your tax rate is 21 percent and you require a return of 11 percent on your investment. a. Assuming that the price per carton is $28.20, what is the NPV of this project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. Assuming that the price per carton is $28.20, find the quantity of cartons per year you can supply and still break even. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.) c. Assuming that the price per carton is $28.20, find the highest level of fixed costs you could afford each year and still break even.

Your company has been approached to bid on a contract to sell 5,500 voice recognition (VR) computer keyboards a year for four years. Due to technological improvements, beyond that time they will be outdated and no sales will be possible. The equipment necessary for the production will cost $4.5 million and will be depreciated on a straight-line basis to a zero salvage value. Production will require an investment in net working capital of $465,000 to be returned at the end of the project, and the equipment can be sold for $445,000 at the end of production. Fixed costs are $640,000 per year, and variable costs are $89 per unit. In addition to the contract, you feel your company can sell 14,200, 16,300, 19,300, and 11,800 additional units to companies in other countries over the next four years, respectively, at a price of $198. This price is fixed. The tax rate is 24 percent, and the required return is 10 percent. Additionally, the president of the company will undertake the project only if it has an NPV of $125,000. What bid price should you set for the contract?

The YTM on a bond is the interest rate you earn on your investment if interest rates don't change. If you actually sell the bond before it matures, your realized return is known as the holding period yield (HPY).
a. Suppose that today you buy a bond with an annual coupon rate of 10 percent for $1,190. The bond has 18 years to maturity. What rate of return do you expect to earn on your investment? Assume a par value of $1,000.
b-1. Two years from now, the YTM on your bond has declined by 1 percent, and you decide to sell. What price will your bond sell for?
b-2. What is the HPY on your investment?

Each option contract involves 100 shares. The risk-free rates for these three expiration dates are 0.6%, 1%, and 1.2%. All three rates are continuously compounded.
Given the information on Suncor shares and options above, construct a protective put using the 23-put with February expiration. Hold the protective put position until expiration.
a. Write out the payoff and profit function.
b. Use a table to show the payoffs and profits when the put option expires in-the-money and out-of-the-money.
c. Calculate the potential profits for this protective put, using share prices ranging from 0 to 26. Plot a graph of these potential profits, with share prices on the x-axis, and profits on the y-axis. (Hint: It may be easier to do this in an Excel spreadsheet.)
d. What is the breakeven share price at expiration for this protective put? (1 mark)
e. What is the maximum profit and maximum loss on this protective put? (1 mark)
