Explanation / Answer

Payback period = 3+(9/784)

=3.01 years

----------------------------

2. Stock Price = 3.4*(1+3%)/((15.8%-3%)

=$27.359

----------------

3. Effective rate = 1*(1+18%/12)^(12)-1

=19.56%

-----------------

4. Present values of cash flows = 210/(1+4%)^1+210/(1+4%)^2+772/(1+4%)^3+772/(1+4%)^4

=$1742.29

Profitability index= 1742.29/1431

=1.22

----------------------

5. 2000 = 1000*(1+r/2)*(39*2)

=>r= 1.79%

----------------------------

6. 4000 = 1000*(1+9%/4)^(t*4)

=> t = 15.5759 years

-----------------------------

7. Face Value

-------------------

8. Discount bond

------------------

9. Dividend at time 8 = 2.4*(1+6.9%)^8

=$4.093

---------------

10. Greater than 1
