Assume that I can borrow money at a rate of 10% per year, but that I only earn 2% per year on money I loan. A friend has recently offered me an investment opportunity; make a $5,000 investment today and receive a guaranteed $5,400 in one year. I currently have $10,000 in the bank, but I plan on consuming $9,000 – meaning that I only have $1,000 that I could invest. Can/should make the investment? How much consumption would I need to be willing to forego to make the investment? (Another way to think about this is what is the maximum amount that I would be willing to borrow to take the investment?)

An owner of the Atrium Tower is currently negotiating a 5 year lease with ACME Corp. for 20,000 rentable SF. ACME would like a base rent of $25/SF with step-ups of $1/year beginning one year from now. a) What is the present value of cash flows to Atrium (assume A 10% discount rate) b) The owner of ATRIUM believes that the Base rent of $25/SF in (a) is too low and wants to raise that amount to $29 with the same step-ups. If so, Atrium would provide ACME with a $50,000 moving allowance and $150,000 in tenant improvements. What is the PV of this alternative and the effective rent. c) ACME informs ATRIUM it will pay $23/SF but must buyout one year left on its existing lease ($15/SF on 20,000/SF); no moving allowance or tenant Improvements. What is the PV of this alternative and the effective rent.

Bonds often pay a coupon twice a year. For the valuation of bonds that make semiannual payments, the number of periods doubles, whereas the amount of cash flow decreases by half. Using the values of cash flows and number of periods, the valuation model is adjusted accordingly.

1) Assume that a $1,000,000 par value, semiannual coupon US Treasury note with four years to maturity has a coupon rate of 4%. The yield to maturity (YTM) of the bond is 7.70%. Using this information and ignoring the other costs involved, calculate the value of the Treasury note:

a) $874,669.10

b) $551,041.53

c) $743,468.74

d) $1,049,602.92

Based on your calculations and understanding of semiannual coupon bonds, complete the following statement:

2) When valuing a semiannual coupon bond, the time period variable(N) used to calculate the price of a bond reflects the number of (4-month, 8-month, 6-month, 12-month) periods remaining in the bond’s life.
