The city of Metropolis is considering replacing incandescent bulbs in traffic lights with light-emitting diode (LED) lights because they use significantly less energy and last much longer without abrupt failure. Currently Metropolis has 80,000 incandescent bulbs in traffic lights at approximately 12,000 intersections. It is estimated that replacing all the incandescent bulbs with LED will cost $46.02 million. However, the investment is also estimated to save the city $8.85 million per year in energy costs. Answer the following questions on a Word Doc or Excel Spreadsheet :

1- Determine the payback period of converting Metropolis’s traffic lights to LEDs.

2- If the average life of an incandescent traffic light is one year and the average life of an LED traffic light is seven years, should the city finance the investment in LED’s at an interest rate of 5% per year? Support your answer by showing calculations or copying and pasting your spreadsheet.  

3- Assume the project manager for the city of Metropolis asked you to provide justific2- ation for the project. Write a brief email to the project manager describing why or why not Metropolis should invest in LED lights using the support figures you calculated for #2.

You have been recently hired in the human resources department at the company you have always dreamed of working for. At the end of your first day, your manager, I.M. DeBoss, on her way out of the office says to you: “So Mr./Ms. Jones, what things come to mind when you think of the word 'ethics'?" Before you can answer, she asks you if you believe ethics are important for a company and if so why do you feel that way? Not letting up, because she is DeBoss, she then asks you if you think your views on ethics have evolved based on your life experiences or do you believe as suggested in the 60 Minutes piece, “Born good? Babies help unlock the origins of Morality,” that your ethics DNA was established at birth and why?

Just as you are about to respond to her, she says “I am sorry Mr./Ms. Jones but I really have to run but I want to continue our conversation tomorrow.” You are relieved because you will have a night to ponder her questions and wow her with your responses tomorrow. How would you respond to your manager?

A proposed corporate bond issue is usually subjected to a credit risk assessment by
credit rating agencies. The results of such an assessment provide a basis for potential
investors to make decisions regarding the proposal.
Some investors consider duration to be a useful factor when deciding whether to invest
in corporate bonds. However, other investors do not consider duration to be that useful
and as such, they rely solely on the work of credit rating agencies. Such investors
consider the information provided by credit rating agencies to be more useful than
duration when choosing the bonds to invest in.
Required:
Prepare a 2,500 word evaluative report that covers the following:
(a) A discussion of the factors that contribute to credit risk and an explanation of the
relationship between credit risk and interest rate risk. [15 Marks]
(b) Identification and explanation of any two (2) approaches that may be used to assess
the degree of credit risk of a proposed bond issue. [10 Marks]
(c) A critical discussion of the usefulness of duration as a measure of interest rate risk
relating to corporate bonds. [15 Marks]
(d) An evaluation whether there is a relationship between using duration and credit
ratings when choosing bonds that an investor should invest in. [10 Marks]
