Introduction:

A bond is a security that creates an obligation on the issuer to make specified payments to the holder for a given period of time. The face value of the bond is the amount the holder will receive on maturity along with the coupon rate which is also known as the interest rate of the bond.A zero-coupon bond is a bond in which the face value is repaid at the maturity time.

Yield to maturity means the discount rate which makes the present payments from the bond equal to the price, in simple terms it is the average rate of return a holder can expect from that bond.

Convexity is a measure of the curvature in the relationship between bond prices and bondyields that demonstrates how the duration of a bond changes as the interest rate changes.

Esfandairi Enterprises is considering a new three-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $2,350,000. The fixed asset will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its three-year tax life, after which time it will be worthless. The project is estimated to generate $3,310,000 in annual sales, with costs of $2,330,000. Assume the tax rate is 23 percent and the required return on the project is 11 percent. What is the project's NPV? Note: A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.
