3. Present Value and Multiple Cash Flows: Investment X offers to pay you $4,700 per year for eight years, whereas Investment Y offers to pay you $6,700 per year for five years. Which of these cash flow streams has the higher present value if the discount rate is 5 percent? If the discount rate is 15 percent?
4. Calculating Loan Payments: You want to buy a new sports coupe for $79,500, and the finance office at the dealership has quoted you an APR of 5.8 percent for a 60-month loan to buy the car. What will your monthly payments be? What is the effective annual rate on this loan?
5. Valuing Bonds: Even though most corporate bonds in the United States make coupon payments semiannually, bonds issued elsewhere often have annual coupon payments. Suppose a German company issues a bond with a par value of €1,000, 23 years to maturity, and a coupon rate of 5.8 percent paid annually. If the yield to maturity is 4.7 percent, what is the current price of the bond?
6. Valuing Bonds: Union Local School District has a bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 3.7 percent paid semiannually and 16 years to maturity. The yield to maturity on this bond is 3.9 percent, and the bond has a par value of $5,000. What is the price of the bond?
7. Stock Values: The Jackson-Timberlake Wardrobe Co. just paid a dividend of $1.95 per share on its stock. The dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 4 percent per year indefinitely. If investors require a return of 10.5 percent on The Jackson-Timberlake Wardrobe Co. stock, what is the current price? What will the price be in three years? In 15 years?
8. Stock Valuation: Suppose you know that a company's stock currently sells for $63 per share and the required return on the stock is 10.5 percent. You also know that the total return on the stock is evenly divided between a capital gains yield and a dividend yield. If it's the company's policy to always maintain a constant growth rate in its dividends, what is the current dividend per share?
