3(a) Consider a pension plan that will pay $10,000 once a year for a 5-year period (5 annual payments). The first payment will come in exactly 5 years (at the end of year 5) and the last payment in 9 years (at the end of year 9). What is the duration of the pension obligation? The current interest rate is 10% per year for all maturities. (3 marks) (3) (b)To generate the scheduled pension payments, the pension fund wants to invest the present value of the future payouts in bonds and match the duration of its obligation in part a). If the fund uses 5-year and 10-year zero-coupon bonds to construct its investment position, how much money (dollar amount) ought to be placed in each bond now? What should be the total face value (not current market value) of each zero-coupon bond held? (3)(c) Right after the fund made its investment outlined in part b), market interest rates for all maturities dropped from 10% p.a.to 9% p.a. Show that the investment position constructed in part b) can still fund (approximately) the future payments by showing that the fund’s net investment is close to 0 at the end of year 9 after making all the scheduled payments. Assume that interest rates will remain at 9% p.a. Any excess cash from the 5-year investment will be reinvested at 9% and any fraction of the 10-year bonds held can be sold at the going market price at any time to fund the annual payments.

We are examining a new project. We expect to sell 5,200 units per year at $66 net cash flow apiece for the next 10 years. In other words, the annual operating cash flow is projected to be $66 × 5,200 = $343,200. The relevant discount rate is 17 percent, and the initial investment required is $1,510,000. After the first year, the project can be dismantled and sold for $1,230,000. Suppose you think it is likely that expected sales will be revised upward to 8,200 units if the first year is a success and revised downward to 3,800 units if the first year is not a success. Suppose the scale of the project can be doubled in one year in the sense that twice as many units can be produced and sold. Naturally, expansion would be desirable only if the project were a success. This implies that if the project is a success, projected sales after expansion will be 16,400. Note that abandonment is an option if the project is a failure. If success and failure are equally likely, what is the NPV of the project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
