To calculate: The value of the
Introduction:
Bond price: The bond price is the actual price of the bond at which the investor can buy or sell that bond. The bond price is the addition of the current values with coupon payments and current values of par value at maturity.
b.
To calculate: The value of the predicted price by duration rule.
Introduction:
Predicted value of the bond price: The predicted value of the bond price is a future estimation of the price. This price is calculated by the coupon value of the bond. The duration rule establishes a relation between price and interest rates.
c.
To calculate: The value of predicted price using duration rule with convexity.
Introduction:
Predicted value of the bond price: The predicted value of the bond price is a future estimation of the price. This price is calculated by the coupon value of the bond. The duration rule establishes a relation between price and interest rates.
d.
To calculate: The percentage error in price and give conclusion about the accuracy with two rules.
Introduction:
Error of quantity: The error of any quantity is the comparison between the actual value and measured value. For every quantity the acceptable value of error is 10%, 1% error is a high value of error. The value of error should be less than 1%.
e.
To calculate: The bond price, predicted price change and error when YTM increases to 9%.
Introduction:
Bond price: The bond price is the fair price of the bond. The predicted value is measured value for a future time. The error of any quantity is the difference of measured value to the actual value of that quantity.

- Crenshaw, Incorporated, is considering the purchase of a $367,000 computer with an economic life of five years. The computer will be fully depreciated over five years using the straight-line method. The market value of the computer will be $67,000 in five years. The computer will replace five office employees whose combined annual salaries are $112,000. The machine will also immediately lower the firm's required net working capital by $87,000. This amount of net working capital will need to be replaced once the machine is sold. The corporate tax rate is 22 percent. The appropriate discount rate is 15 percent. Calculate the NPV of this project. Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. NPV Answer is complete but not entirely correct.
