Required: Calculate the Payback period of each project and advise EEF’s board of directors which project they should invest in.

A company has two different bonds currently outstanding. Both bonds have a face value of R100. Bond A matures in 10 years. The bond makes no coupon payments for the first four years and then pays R8.50 semi-annually for the subsequent four years, and finally pays R10.50 semi-annually for the last two years. Bond B also matures in 10 years; it makes coupon payments of R4.50 semi-annually over its life. The yield to maturity on both bonds is 12% per annum, compounded semi-annually.

What is the current price of each bond?

Given

A venture capital company plans to invest in one of two start-up engineering firms. Investments like this are risky by nature, but the company thinks the risk is about the same for both firms. So, the company will pick the firm that would produce the largest rate of return on their investment.

With either start-up firm, the company would invest $2 million in capital (today). The first engineering firm would agree to repay the company with a single lump sum of $8 million after three years. The second engineering firm would agree to repay the company with a series of monthly payments; after a one year period with no payments, the company would receive $150,000 at the end of each month during the second year, and $250,000 at the each of each month during the third year.

Find

1. Draw a cash-flow diagram of the first start-up firm investment.

2. Determine the monthly and annual rate of return (in %) for the first start-up firm investment.

3. Draw a cash-flow diagram of the second start-up firm investment.

4. Determine the monthly and annual rate of return (in %) for the second start-up firm investment.

5. Determine which investment is better for the venture capital company and why.

4.The product is water soluble.

Jason Smith is a 48-year-old man who has been admitted to the hospital with the diagnosis of acute inferior myocardial infarction. He says to the nurse, "I can't believe I had a heart attack. Those are for old people! I still feel young, but I guess I have to slow down." The nurse, using reflection, asks Mr. Smith, "Do you feel that you can no longer lead an active life because you have had a heart attack?" The nurse's statement will encourage Mr. Smith to continue sharing thoughts and explain why he believes this to be true. This will allow the nurse to correct any misunderstanding that he has about the recovery process after an MI.
