A municipal bond with a face value of $10,000 was issued today with an interest rate of 6% per year payable semiannually. The bond matures 20 years from now. If an investor paid $9,000 for the bond and holds it to maturity, all of the following equations will yield the correct semiannual rate of return except: (a) 0 = −9000 + 300(P/A,i*,40) + 10,000(P/F,i*,40) (b) 0 = −9000(F/P,i*,40) + 300(F/A,i*,40) + 10,000 (c) 0 = −9000(A/P,i*,40) + 300 + 10,000(A/F,i*,40) (d) 0 = −9000 + 600(P/A,i*,40) + 10,000(P/F,i*,40)
Bill Mitselfik has purchased a bond that was issued by Acme Chemical. This bind has a face value of $ 1000 and pays a dividend of 10% per year, compounded semi-annually. Bill bought the bond three years ago at face value and there are seven years remaining until the bond matures. Bill wishes to sell it now for a price that will result in Bill earning an annual yield of 16% compounded semi-annually. What price does Bill need to sell the bond for to earn his desired return?
The following cash flows result from a potential construction project for your company:
Receipts of $545,000 at the start of the contract and $1,200,000 at the end of the fourth year
Expenditures at the end of the first year of $400,000 and at the end of the second year of $900,000
A net cash flow of $0 at the end of the third year.
Using an appropriate rate of return method (Approximate ERR), for a MARR of 20%, should your company accept this project (Perform all calculations using 5 significant figures and round your answer to one decimal place. )
What is the approximate ERR for this project? %
