Summary Introduction

(a)

To calculate:

The forward rate of interest for the second year

Introduction:

The forward rate of interest is the rate which is a short-term interest rate for the future period used for making the return of short-term bonds same as equal to the total expected return of long-term bonds with a condition to holding them till maturity.

Summary Introduction

(b)

To calculate:

Expected value of short-term interest rate under expectations hypothesis.

Introduction:

The expectations hypothesis is a theory that says that yield to maturity is determined solely by expectations of future short-term interest rates. In this way, it provides a way to equalize expected yield from the investment in short-term bonds and long-term bonds.

Summary Introduction

(c)

To calculate:

Expected value of short-term interest rate under liquidity preference theory.

Introduction:

The liquidity preference theory is a theory which says that investors demand a risk premium on long-term maturity bonds as they involve high risk. The liquidity premium can be measured as a spread between the expected short rate and the forward rate of interest.

The Perez Company has the opportunity to invest in one of two mutually exclusive machines that will produce a product it will need for the foreseeable future. Machine A costs $8 million but realizes after-tax inflows of $4.5 million per year for 4 years. After 4 years, the machine must be replaced. Machine B costs $17 million and realizes after-tax inflows of $4 million per year for 8 years, after which it must be replaced. Assume that machine prices are not expected to rise because inflation will be offset by cheaper components used in the machines. The cost of capital is 13%. Using the replacement chain approach to project analysis, by how much would the value of the company increase if it accepted the better machine? Round your answer to two decimal places. 1.) $   million What is the equivalent annual annuity for each machine? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places. 2.) Machine A: $   million 3.) Machine B: $   million
