Mediterranean Hotel Investments PTY LTD, decides to issue 40-year bonds with a face value of $1000 and semiannual coupon payments. The effective annual yield on other bonds of similar risk and time to maturity is 6.5%, so the company decides to offer 7% annual coupon to attract investors. What would be a fair price for these bonds? Show all workings. Imagine that immediately after issue, the general level of interest rates in the economy moves to such an extent that the value of the Mediterranean Hotel Investments’ bond shifts to exactly $1000. What would now be the new bond-equivalent yield (the one that will be advertised in the financial press as an annual rate and is variously called Nominal Interest Rate, Quoted Interest Rate or sometimes just yield or interest rate)?

A study of the career paths of hotel general managers sent questionnaires to an SRS of 300 hotels belonging to major U.S. hotel chains. There were 187 responses. The average time these 187 general managers had spent with their current company was 9.93 years. (Take it as known that the standard deviation of time with the company for all general managers is 3.5 years.) (a) Find the margin of error for an 85% confidence interval to estimate the mean time a general manager had spent with their current company: 9.3109 years (b) Find the margin of error for a 99% confidence interval to estimate the mean time a general manager had spent with their current company: years (c) In general, increasing the confidence level the margin of error (width) of the confidence interval. (Enter: ''DECREASES'', ''DOES NOT CHANGE'' or ''INCREASES'', without the quotes.)

. You are working on a bid to build two city parks a year for the next three years. This project requires the purchase of $180,000 of equipment that will be depreciated using straight-line depreciation to a zero book value over the 3-year project life. The equipment can be sold at the end of the project for $34,000. You will also need $20,000 in net working capital for the duration of the project.

What are the different white-collar crimes? Representatives of hotels, restaurants, hotel and restaurant supply companies, and other businesses located in Portland, Oregon, organized an association to attract conventions to their city. Members were asked to make contributions equal to 1 percent of their sales to finance the association. To aid collections, hotel members, including Hilton Hotels Corporation, agreed to give preferential treatment to suppliers who paid their assessments and to curtail purchases from those who did not. This agreement violated federal antitrust laws. The United States sued the members of the association, including Hilton Hotels, for the crime of violating federal antitrust laws. Can a corporation be held criminally liable for the acts of its representatives? If so, what criminal penalties can be assessed against the corporation?
