QUESTION ONE - FINANCIAL MATHEMATICS
A young newly married couple wish to purchase a unit house in a remote area priced at $190,000. They want to borrow the entire amount and repay this amount in full plus interest over the next 20 years. You can offer them a mortgage for the full amount at an interest rate of 17% (sounds like extortion to me) and calls for equal annual instalment payments at the end of each of the 20 years.
Required: (a) Calculate the amount of the annual payment? (b) Create and complete the amortization
QUESTION TWO - SHARE VALUATION
ABC Corporation is experiencing rapid growth. Dividends are expected to grow at 25% per year for the next three years and then grow at 5% per year for ever. If the required return on the share is 10% and the share currently sells for $30.
What is required of you:
Calculate the projected dividend for the coming year? (Hint: calculate D0 before attempting to determine D1)
QUESTION THREE - BOND VALUATION
Consider a bond with face value of $1000, a coupon rate of 8% (paid annually), and ten years to maturity.
What is required of you:
a. What is the price of this bond if the required rate of return (r) is 18 percent?
b. What is the price if r increases to 20 percent? By what percentage did the price of the bond change?
c. What is the price if r is five percent? If r increases to seven percent, what is the percentage change in price?
d. From your answers in a to c, what can you say about relative price volatility of a bond in high compared to low interest rate environments.
