Summary Introduction

Payback period:

Number of periods required for collecting initial investment is called payback period. It is traditional technique. Payback period uses normal cash flows. Therefore, the time value of money concept is ignored.

Calculate the payback period by using the following formula:

Payback period=(The year prior to full recovery of  initial investment)+(Amount of initial investment that is unrecovered at the start of the recovery yearTotal cash flow recovered in the recovery year)

Decision for payback period:

Payback period<Life of the project,  Accept the projectPayback period>Life of the project, Reject the project

Discounted payback period:

Number of periods required for collecting initial investment is called discounted payback period. It is a modern technique. Discounted Payback period uses discounted cash flows. Therefore, the time value of money concept is considered.

Calculate the discounted payback period by using the following formula:

Discounted Payback period=(The year prior to full recovery of  initial investment)+(Amount of initial investment that is unrecovered at the start of the recovery yearTotal discounted cash flow recovered in the recovery year)

Decision for payback period:

Discounted payback period<Life of the project,  Accept the projectDiscounted payback period>Life of the project, Reject the project

Cost of the project is $270,000 and cash inflows are $75,000 for five years. Cost of capital is 11%.

An insurance company has liabilities of £7 million due in 10 years' time and £9 million due in 17 years' time. The assets of the company consist of two zero-coupon bonds, one paying £X million in 7 years' time and the other paying £Y million in 20 years' time. The current interest rate is 6% per annum effective. Find the nominal value of X (i.e. the amount, IN MILLIONS, that bond X pays in 7 year's time) such that the first two conditions for Redington's theory of immunisation are satisfied. Express your answer to THREE DECIMAL PLACES.
An individual is investing in a market where spot rates and forward rates apply. In this market, if at time t=0 he agrees to invest £5.3 for two years, he will receive £7.4 at time t=2 years. Alternatively, if at time t=0 he agrees to invest £5.3 at time t=1 for either one year or two years, he will receive £7.5 or £7.3 at times t=2 and t=3, respectively. Calculate the price per £5,000 nominal that the individual should pay for a fixed-interest bond bearing annual interest of 6.6% and is redeemable after 3 years at 110%. State your answer at 2 decimal places.
The one-year forward rates of interest, f+, are given by: . fo = 5.06%, f₁ = 6.38%, and f2 = 5.73%. Calculate, to 4 decimal places (in percentages), the three-year par yield.
