Shao Airlines is considering the purchase of two alternative planes. Plane A has an expected life of 5 years, will cost $100 million, and will produce net cash flows of $30 million per year. Plane B has a life of 10 years, will cost $132 million, and will produce net cash flows of $27 million per year. Shao plans to serve the route for only 10 years. Inflation in operating costs, airplane costs, and fares are expected to be zero, and the company's cost of capital is 11%. By how much would the value of the company increase if it accepted the better project (plane)? Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in millions. For example, an answer of $1.234 million should be entered as 1.234, not 1,234,000. Round your answer to three decimal places.

A 13.35-year maturity zero-coupon bond selling at a yield to maturity of 8% (effective annual yield) has convexity of 164.2 and modified duration of 12.36 years. A 40-year maturity 6% coupon bond making annual coupon payments also selling at a yield to maturity of 8% has nearly identical modified duration—-12.30 years—-but considerably higher convexity of 272.9.

a. Suppose the yield to maturity on both bonds increases to 9%. What will be the actual percentage capital loss on each bond? What percentage capital loss would be predicted by the duration-with-convexity rule? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

b. Suppose the yield to maturity on both bonds decreases to 7%. What will be the actual percentage capital gain on each bond? What percentage capital gain would be predicted by the duration-with-convexity rule? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

On November 1, 2009, Riley Corp. sold a $700 million bond issue to finance the purchase of a new distribution facility. These bonds were issued in $1,000 denominations with a maturity date of November 1, 2049. The bonds have a coupon rate of 6.00% with interest paid semiannually. Required: a) Determine the value today, November 1, 2019 of one of these bonds to an investor who requires an 8 percent return on these bonds. Why is the value today different from the par value? b) Assume that the bonds are selling for $890.00. Determine the current yield and the yield-to-maturity. Explain what these terms mean. c) Explain what layers or textures of risk play a role in the determination of the required rate of return on Riley’s bonds.

You are considering a 3-year project of which details are summarized below. Your required rate of return for capital budgeting purposes is 20 percent.

• Annual sales = 30,000 units
• Unit sales price = $5.00
• Variable costs = $2.00 per unit
• Annual fixed costs = $18,000
• Initial capital investment = $72,000, depreciated to zero over 3 years
• Initial investment in working capital = $20,000, fully recovered at the end of the project
• The tax rate is 25%

a. What is the project’s annual net income?

b. What is the project’s annual operating cash flow?

c. What is the project’s initial capital investment?

d. What is the project’s NPV?  

e. What is the project’s IRR?  

f. Should you accept this project? Why or why not?

Suppose your firm is considering investing in a project with the cash flows shown below, that the required rate of return on projects of this risk class is 10 percent, and that the maximum allowable payback and discounted payback statistics for your company are 3.0 and 3.5 years, respectively. Time: 0 1 2 3 4 5 Cash flow –$351,000 $66,800 $85,000 $142,000 $123,000 $82,200 Use the PI decision rule to evaluate this project. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.) PI Should it be accepted or rejected? Accepted Rejected

5) Assuming £1.00 = $1.45 and €1.00 = $1.25, the interest rate in the UK is 6.50% and the interest rate in Germany is 5.45%, determine the forward rate of the   £ / € if interest rate parity (IRP) holds. What does this imply about future forward rates? Explain how you can engage in covered interest arbitrage if the spot rate remains the same, and the interest rate in the UK is still 6.50%, and the forward rate is .868 £ / € .

Suppose that XYZ Corp is considering financing a project with only equity. The project’s unlevered cost of capital is 10%. The project will require a $1000 initial investment today and pay incremental free-cash-flows of $100 in perpetuity starting the end of the next year. If the firm were to finance the project with debt so that its D/E ratio is 0.50 how will the NPV of the project change? Assume the interest rate on the new debt will be 3%, and the firm faces a 21% tax rate. Round your answer to two decimals.

A loan is amortized over 7 years with monthly payments at a nominal interest rate of 9% compounded monthly. The first payment is $1000 and is to be paid one month from the date of the loan. Each succeeding monthly payment will be 3% lower than the prior payment. Calculate the outstanding loan balance immediately after the 68th payment is made.

A loan is repaid with payments which start at $400 the first year and increase by $60 per year until a payment of $1240 is made, at which time payments cease. If interest is 5% effective, find the amount of principal in the 6th payment.
