Do the following present value problems. You must set up all present value problems before calculation. Merely writing down the answer (even if it is correct) is an automatic zero. You must show your work. a. Suppose we have a four year fixed-payment loan with $900 payments made at the end of each year. Given a market interest rate of 7 percent, how much was initially borrowed? b. Suppose you were considering purchasing a $6300 machine today that would generate additional net profit of $2500 booked at the end of each year. Assuming you need a 10 percent annual return to justify the investment, would the investment be worth doing if you had only three years of payouts? Would your answer change if you only needed a 9 percent annual return on your       investment ? Why or why not? You must use present value to demonstrate your answer, and show your work. c. Consider two zero coupon bonds in which you receive $100 at the maturity date, one maturing in 3 years and one maturing in 5 years. Both are currently priced to yield 6 percent. Calculate the current market value of each bond. Now suppose the yield to maturity rises to 9 percent. Calculate the percent change in the price of each bond as the yield went from 6 to 9.

You must show your work.
a. Suppose we have a four year fixed-payment loan with $900 payments made at the end of
each year. Given a market interest rate of 7 percent, how much was initially borrowed?
b. Suppose you were considering purchasing a $6300 machine today that would generate additional
net profit of $2500 booked at the end of each year. Assuming you need a 10 percent annual
return to justify the investment, would the investment be worth doing if you had only three years
of payouts? Would your answer change if you only needed a 9 percent annual return on your
 
 
 
investment ? Why or why not? You must use present value to demonstrate your answer, and
show your work.
c. Consider two zero coupon bonds in which you receive $100 at the maturity date, one
maturing in 3 years and one maturing in 5 years. Both are currently priced to yield 6
percent. Calculate the current market value of each bond. Now suppose the yield to
maturity rises to 9 percent. Calculate the percent change in the price of each bond as the
yield went from 6 to 9.
