Problem 1. Suppose the following relationships for the Dawn Corporation:
Sales/total assets= 10x
Return on assets= 15%
Return on equity= 25%
What is the real risk free rate for 3-month if the inflation for 3 months is estimated as 4%?
What is Dawn's debt ratio?

3-month T-Bill=5.0%
30-year T-Bond=6.5%
30-year AAA Corporate=7.3%
30-year Municipal=5.475%
What is the maturity risk premium on 30-year Treasury bonds? Assume the expected inflation for 3-month T-Bills and 30-year T-Bonds is the same.
What is the real risk free rate for 3-month if the inflation for 3 months is estimated as 4%?

Problem 3. To finish college, you need $18,000 per year for 4 years, starting next year (that is, you will need to withdraw $18,000 one year from today). A relative offers to pay the expense by depositing in a bank time deposit paying 5 percent interest a sum of money that is sufficient to provide the four payments of $18,000 each. His deposit will be made today. How large must the deposit be?
