Homework 2

Section 1: TVM basics:

1. Suppose a State of Texas bond will pay $2,000 ten years from now. If the going interest rate on these 10-year bonds is 0.5%, how much is the bond worth today?

1. Suppose you have $1,000 and plan to purchase a 10-year certificate of deposit (CD) that pays 1.0% annual interest, compounded annually . How much will you have when the CD matures?

1. Suppose you have $1,000 and plan to purchase a 10-year certificate of deposit (CD) that pays 1.0% annual interest, compounded quarterly . How much will you have when the CD matures?

(Hint: To incorporate the compounding effect, you need to convert the annual interest rate into the quarterly interest rate, and convert years into quarters to get correct answer).

1. Suppose you have $1,000 and plan to purchase a 10-year certificate of deposit (CD) that pays 1.0% annual interest, compounded monthly . How much will you have when the CD matures?

(Hint: To incorporate the compounding effect, you need to convert the annual interest rate into the monthly interest rate, and convert years into months to get correct answer).

1. Suppose you have $1,000 and plan to purchase a 10-year certificate of deposit (CD) that pays 1.0% annual interest, compounded daily . How much will you have when the CD matures?

(Hint: To incorporate the compounding effect, you need to convert the annual interest rate into the daily interest rate, and convert years into days to get correct answer).

1. Suppose the U.S. Treasury offers to sell you a bond for $900.00. No payments will be made until the bond matures 10 years from now, at which time it will be redeemed for $1,000. What interest rate would you earn if you bought this bond at the offer price?

Section 2: TVM applications

1. Assume the couple John and Helen want to fund a college education for their son, William, age 2. William will attend college starting at age of 18. He needs $90,000 available at age 18 for his college expense. The couple feels they can make 6% after-tax return annually in a 529 education fund. How much do they need to deposit today to meet their goal?

2. Assume the couple John and Helen want to fund a college education for their son, William, age 2. William will attend 4 years of college starting at age of 18. He needs $60,000 available at age 18 for his college expense. Starting from now, the couple plans to invest $3000 to the 529 education fund at the end of each year. What rate of annual return do they need to achieve?

3. Construct an amortization schedule for a 15-year, $300,000 loan with a 4.2% interest rate compounded monthly. The loan will be paid back in 15 years making monthly payments. You need to calculate the principal payment and interest payment, respectively, of each month. Hint: Please refer to the excel file of “Loan Amortization “posted in Unit 4 “Lecture”. Specifically, you need to update the model from “yearly” payment to “monthly” mortgage payment. 15 years *12 = 180 months. Therefore, you should demonstrate 180 principal payments and interest payments for each month.

4. Construct an amortization schedule for a 30-year, $300,000 loan with a 6.7% interest rate compounded monthly. The loan will be paid back in 30 years making monthly payments. You need to calculate the principal payment and interest payment, respectively, of each month. Hint: Please refer to the excel file of “Loan Amortization “posted in Unit 4 “Lecture”. Specifically, you need to update the model from “yearly” payment to “monthly” mortgage payment. 30 years *12 = 360 payments. Therefore, you should demonstrate 360 principal payments and interest payments for each month.

Section 3: Bond Valuation

1. The Morrissey Company's bonds mature in 7 years, have a par value of $1,000, and make an annual coupon payment of $70. The market interest rate for the bonds is 8.5%. What is the bond's price?

2. Masson Inc. recently issued noncallable bonds that mature in 10 years. They have a par value of $1,000 and an annual coupon of 5.5%. If the current market interest rate is 7.0%, at what price should the bonds sell?

3. Ezzell Enterprises’ noncallable bonds currently sell for $1,165. They have a 15-year maturity, an annual coupon of $95, and a par value of $1,000. What is their yield to maturity?

4. Quigley Inc.'s bonds currently sell for $1,080 and have a par value of $1,000. They pay a $100 annual coupon and have a 15-year maturity, but they can be called in 5 years at $1,125. What is their yield to maturity (YTM)?

Week Five Case Studies

Case Scenario 1

The practice manager at Happy Cardiology Services has been asked by human resources to create and implement a program to address concerns brought by the coding, billing, and credentialing staff (n=10). Staff collectively feel that administration does not fully understand their job duties and does not provide a way for the staff to share their concerns about the work environment. Comments have also been made to human resources that some employees feel pressure to up-code and aggressively seek payment from patients. Morale is low, and staff have been resigning rapidly. They are currently at a turnover rate of 22%. 

Case Scenario 2

The staff members at Smiley Hospital are assigned to specific patient age groups and their responsibilities differ across the unit. The staff has been complaining that their evaluations do not accurately measure their responsibilities and that they are being measured on performance outcomes they cannot control. Morale is low because they believe their work is not being recognized or distributed fairly (leadership/ethical issue). The directors at Smiley Hospital have been challenged with developing a new way to fairly assign and assess individual performances according to their various job descriptions.

Case Scenario 3

The quarterly reports of expenditures for all the St. Agnes Health System have been distributed. You are the director of the team for the Orthopedic Clinic, and your area has grossly overspent its budget for the third consecutive quarter. There are rumors circulating that your job depends on reducing costs for supplies, the most expensive item on the list. Other rumors suggest that all the clinic staff fear they will lose their jobs if the poor financial report for the clinic causes the board to convert the clinic into an urgent care or outsource services (issues as to culture and the health of work environment, such as rumors, toxicity, and ethics related to culture and communication). There has been an increase in sick calls by everyone on the team. Although morale has been low, you have been adequately staffed.
