If you want to have $1,000,000 in 40 years from today (time 40) and the interest rate you can earn on invested money is 5%, set up a calculation to show how to find the annual payment. (Note: you do not need to solve) (6 points)$1,000,000 in time 40 has PV = 1,000,000/1.0540 = $142,045.70So set up an equation where the PV of 20 payments beginning in time 0 equals $142,045.70 and solve:$142,045.70 = C + C(annuity factor where r=.05 and t=19)4. A 10 year bond with a coupon rate of 8% was issued 4 years ago. It has a $1,000 face value and pays a quarterly coupon. If the yield to maturity is 6%, set up a calculation to find the bond price.

Note: you do not need to solve your formula. ( 6 points)If R = r/12 then PV = 2000/R/(1+R)4797. Ben is buying a car for $15,000. If Ben wants to make four annual payments and the interest rate is 7%, which of the following is most consistent with time value of money principlesif interest is compounded monthly?(a) There is no way to compound monthly if the payment is annual(b) The annual payment equals $15,000 divided by 4 because there are 4 payments(c) The annual payment can be calculated by applying the annuity formula to find forty eight equal monthly payments and then multiplying the monthly payment by 12(d) None of the above is consistent8. Jason has a choice of Option A (receiving $15,000 next year (in time 1)) or Option B (receiving 10,000 in time 1 and $10,000 in time 2). Answer the following as (T)rue or (F)alse__T_(a) For some discount rates, option A will have a higher PV than option B__F_(b) There is no discount rate where option B has a higher PV than option A__F_(c) If you calculate the future value of both options in time 2, Option B might have a higher FV even if it has a lower PV than A9. Mark each of the following as True (T) or False (F). (2 points each)__T_(a) In the primary market, the company issues stocks and/or bonds to investors__F_(b) If a company does not pay a dividend, most analysts will estimate the stock price using the book value of equity__T_(c) Market value of equity is usually higher than book value of equity10.
