Question 2: How much would you have to invest today in order to receive $10,000 in 5 years at an assumed 5% APR and quarterly compounding?
 
Question 3: What is the present value of $10,000 to be received for each of the next 5 years at an assumed 4% APR.
 
Question 4: What are the monthly payments required in order to pay off a $12,000 auto loan at an assumed 5% APR over a 3 year period?
 
Question 5: A corporation issued a $1,000 par value bond paying 3% interest with 15 years to maturity. Assume the current yield to maturity on such bonds is 3 %. What is the price of the bond?

Question 6: A corporation will pay a $1.00 dividend (D1) in the next 12 months on a share of common stock. The required rate of return is 5 % and the constant growth rate is 4 %.Compute the theoretical stock price Po.
 
Question 7: The preferred stock of a corporation pays an annual dividend of $1.00. It has a required rate of return of 4 %. Compute the price of the preferred stock.
 
Question 8: A $1,000 par value bond has 10 years to maturity. The bond pays $40 a year in interest and is selling for $950. Given a 30% tax bracket, what is the after tax cost of this debt?
 
Question 9: A share of preferred stock is selling for $20 with an estimated floatation cost of $1 per share. It is anticipated that the preferred stock will pay $1.50 per share in dividends. Compute the cost of the preferred stock to the issuing corporation.

Question 10: A corporation expects to pay dividends (D1) of $1.75 per share at the end of the current year and the current price of its common stock is $30 per share. The expected growth rate is 3.5% and floatation costs of $1.00 per share are anticipated. Making use of the constant growth model, compute the cost of this new common equity.
 
Question 11: Making use of the Capital Asset Pricing Model, compute the cost of Common equity assuming a risk free rate of 3.5%, a market rate of 5% and An assumed beta of 1.3.
 
Question 12: Assume the following capital structure:

The following facts are provided:
 
Bond yield to maturity               5%
Corporate tax rate                   35%
Dividend, Pre. stock                $1.75
Price, Pre. stock                     $25.00
Floatation, Pre. stock                $1.00
Dividend (Do), Com. Stock       $1.00
Price, Com. Stock*                  $15.00
Growth rate, Com. Stock             2%
 
* You are to assume this to be issued common stock with a zero floatation cost.
 
Compute the weighted average cost of capital
 
Question 13: Please assume the following cash flow data:
 
Year  Cash Flow
a.    - $120,000
b.       48,000
c.       72,000
d.     104,000
