Making the assumption of no compounding interest, suppose you purchase a perpetuity bond from CosoNostra Pizza Inc. for $4,000 with an annual coupon rate of 3% . Specify all answers to the nearest dollar, and assume a discount rate equal to that of the current interest rate. Required:
a. What is the yearly return on your $4,000 investment?
b. Changes in the economy push interest rates up from 3% to 5%. For how much can you sell your bond following this change in market interest rates?
c. Suppose that interest rates instead change from 3% to 1%. For what price will you be able to sell your bond following this change in market interest rates?

How should the environmental effects be dealt with when evaluating this project? the environmental effects should be ignored since the plant is legal without mitigation. the environmental effects should be treated as a sunk cost and therefore ignored. if the utility mitigates for the environmental effects, the project is not acceptable. however, before the company chooses to do the project without mitigation, it needs to make sure that any costs of "ill will" for not mitigating for the environmental effects have been considered in the original analysis. the environmental effects should be treated as a remote possibility and should only be considered at the time in which they actually occur. the environmental effects if not mitigated would result in additional cash flows. therefore, since the plant is legal without mitigation, there are no benefits to performing a "no mitigation" analysis.
