Question 5: (15 points). (Bond valuation relationships)
Arizona Public Utilities issued a bond that pays $70 in interest, with a $1,000
par value and matures in 25 years. The markers required yield to maturity on a
comparable-risk bond is 8 percent. (Round to the nearest cent.) For questions
with two answer options (e.g. increase/decrease) choose the best answer and
write it in the answer block.
Question Answer
a. What is the value of the bond if the markers required
yield to maturity on a comparable-risk bond is 8 percent? $
b. What is the value of the bond if the markers required
yield to maturity on a comparable-risk bond increases to 11 percent? $
c. What is the value of the bond if the market’s required
yield to maturity on a comparable-risk bond decreases to 7 percent?
$
d. The change in the value of a bond caused by changing
interest rates is called interest-rate risk. Based on the answer: in parts b
and c, a decrease in interest rates (the yield to maturity) will cause the
value of a bond to (increase/decrease):
By contrast in interest rates will cause the value to
(increase/decrease):
Also, based on the answers in part b, if the yield to
maturity (current interest rate) equals the coupon interest rate, the bond will
sell at (par/face value):
exceeds the bond’s coupon rate, the bond will sell at a
(discount/premium):
and is less than the bond’s coupon rate, the bond will sell
at a (discount/premium):
e. Assume the bond matures in 5 years instead of 25 years,
what is the value of the bond if the yield to maturity on a comparable-risk
bond is 8 percent? $ 960.07 Assume the bond matures in 5 years instead of 25
years, what is the value of the bond if the yield to maturity on a comparable-risk
bond is 11 percent? $
f. Assume the bond matures in 5 years instead of 25 years,
what is the value of the bond if the yield to maturity on a comparable-risk
bond is 7 percent? $
g. From the findings in part e, we can conclude that a bondholder
owning a long-term bond is exposed to (more/less) interest-rate risk than one
owning a short-term bond.

of its common stock? (Round to two decimal places.)
a. The firm’s growth rate will be:
b. If the firm decides to increase its retention ratio, what
will happen to the value of its common stock? An increase in the retention rate
will (increase/decrease) the rate of growth in dividends, which in turn will
(increase/decrease) the value of the common stock.

is: $
Question 2: (30 points). (Net present value calculation) Big
Steve’s, makers of swizzle sticks, is considering the purchase of a new plastic
stamping machine. This investment requires an initial outlay of $90,000 and
will generate net cash inflows of $19,000 per year for 11 years. To answer
Orange item questions, keep the text that is the best answer.
a. What is the project’s NPV using a discount rate of 7
percent? (Round to the nearest dollar.)
If the discount rate is 7 percent, then the project’s NPV
is: $
Should the project be accepted?
The project should
be or should not be accepted
because the NPV is
positive or negative and
therefore adds or subtracts value to the firm.
b. What is the project’s NPV using a discount rate of 16
percent?
If the discount rate is 16 percent, then the project’s NPV
is: $
Should the project be accepted? Why or why not?
c. What is this project’s internal rate of return? (Round to
two decimal places.)
This project’s internal rate of return is:
%
Should the project be accepted? Why or why not?
If the project’s required discount rate is 7%, then the
project should be or should not be
accepted because the IRR is higher
than or lower than the
required discount rate.
If the project’s required discount rate is 16%, then the
project should be or should not be
accepted because the IRR is higher
than or lower than the
required discount rate.
Question 3: (15 points). (Related to Checkpoint 11.2)
(Equivalent annual cost calculation) Barry Boswell is a financial analyst for

discount rate of 10% is: $
b. Alternative B’s equivalent annual cost (EAC) at a
discount rate of 10% is $
b. Which of the alternatives do you think Barry should
select? Why? (Select the best choice below.)
a. This
cannot be determined from the information provided.
b. Alternative
B should be selected because its equivalent annual cost is less per year than
the annual equivalent cost for Alternative A.
c. Alternative
A should be selected because its equivalent annual cost is less per year than
the annual equivalent cost for Alternative B.
d. Alternative
A should be selected because it has the highest NPV.
