Joe's hardware is adding a new product line that will require
and investment of $1,530,000. Managers estimate that this
investment will have a 10-year life and generate net cash inflows
of $330,000 the first year, $275,000 the second year, and $245,000
each year thereafter for eight years. The investment has no
residual value. Compute the payback period.

Ed is considering the health insurance options offered by his
employer. He travels frequently and would like to be able to go to
any physician of his choice, including those outside of his home
area. He does not want a policy that mandates care be provided by
employees of the insurer, since he believes that could result in a
potential conflict of interest. He does not want large out of
pocket or coinsurance payments and does not mind patronizing
physicians...

In 2014, AT&T issued 10-year bonds with a coupon that pays
$93.75 annually. At the time of issue, the bonds sold at par.
Today, bonds of similar risk and maturity must pay an annual coupon
of 7.25% to sell at par value. Assuming semi-annual payments and a
7.25% yield to maturity, what is the current price of the firm’s
bonds? (please use financial calculator-show work)

Since it states that systematic risk cannot be eliminated,
modern portfolio theory does not allow for stock index futures
contracts.
In the real-world, financial decisions are irrelevant, so there
is really no reason for firms to hedge.

A series RCL circuit contains only a capacitor (C = 12.2 μF), an
inductor (L = 5.28 mH), and a generator (peak voltage = 68.5 V,
frequency = 5.60 x 103 Hz). When t = 0 s, the instantaneous value
of the voltage is zero, and it rises to a maximum one-quarter of a
period later. (a) Find the instantaneous value of the voltage
across the capacitor/inductor combination when t = 7.20 x 10-4 s.
(b) What is the instantaneous...
