**Do not round in this problem. Use at least 5 significant figures.

A large entertainment company, let’s call them Wisney! Ok, so Wisney is considering buying a new piece of land in the Everglades and planning to put a new campground…but make it fun! The land they are buying has a stipulation that nothing can be built on the property until it is paid in full. Wisney is wealthy and has cash available but due to COVID-19 is being a bit more conservative about spending large amounts of money on new projects, therefore they will take out a loan with a nominal rate of 4.78%.

  1. What is the effective interest rate if the interest is compounded semi-annually and payment are made semi-annually? (Hint: The effective rate should be in the same period as the payment schedule)
    1. If the land costs $2,800,000. What is the semi-annual payment needed to pay it off in 5 years?
  2. What is the effective interest rate if the interest is compounded monthly and payments are made semi-annually?
    1. (5 points) If the land costs $2,800,000. What is the semi-annual payment needed to pay it off in 5 years?

You will read “Sports & Entertainment – Endorsement Contracts" of your textbook. Should "morals clauses" be a part of an athlete's endorsement contract? What are the views of the athletes and of the companies? Who should decide if or when the contract should be terminated for violations? Can the courts be utilized controversies over whether a "morals clause" has been violated? If so, is the occurrence of a morals clause violation a condition precedent or a condition subsequent? What are the potential problems if there is no such clause in an endorsement contract? Should repetition of previous poor behavior of the athlete affect the decision whether a termination is appropriate, with the thought that the company accepted that behavior before entering into the contract?

A bi-level Entertainment center is under construction. Installation of only 4 escalators is planned at the start although the ultimate designs calls for 10. The question anses whether to provide necessary facilities that would permit the installation of the additional escalators (e.g. stair supports, wiring conduits, and motor foundations) at the mere cost of their purchase and installation now or to defer investment in these facilities until the escalators need to be installed. The two options are detailed as follows:

Option 1: Provide these facilities now for all six futures escalators at $250,000

Option 2: Defer the investment as needed. Instalation of two more escalators is planned in three years, two more in seven years, and last two in ten years. The installation of these facilities at the time they are required is estimated cost $220,000 in year 3, $240,000 in year 7 and $260,000 in year 10.

For both options, additional annual expenses are estimated at $500 for each escalator facility installed. Assume the company's MARR is 15%

What the present worth of Option 1?

What the present worth of option 2?
