You are to call a treatment facility for addiction. It may be a rehabilitation facility, a detox, an IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program), or a residential treatment program. The program may be focused on adults or adolescents. The treatment facility you contact should be in Massachusetts, but if you live in another state or work in another state I will allow you to explore a treatment facility that will allow you to better meet your needs. Prior to calling, you must post the agency you are calling in Canvas in this module. Please check to see that nobody else is calling this facility to avoid two or more students calling the same place. Only one student should be calling a site. If someone else has already posted this site, please select another site. Your assignment is to call and find out what level of care is provided, what the admissions process is, what type of treatment is included (i.e. family, group, CBT, etc.), whether they accept insurance (private, MassHealth, or Medicare accepted?), and specifically, what treatment do they provide in terms of treating a co-occurring disorder. Answer each question below by typing in your responses in the boxes.
Grading Criteria:
One point will be deducted for every 3 errors in grammar, spelling and punctuation. Each question will be evaluated in terms of the completeness of the response. Specific feedback will be provided on the assignment as appropriate.

FIN 534- Homework Set 2
1
The first section of the test asks you to address these discounted
cash flow analysis problems:
1. What is the present value of the following uneven cash flow
stream −$50, $100, $75, and $50 at the end of Years 0 through
3? The appropriate interest rate is 10%, compounded annually.
Formula to calculate PV of single cash flow is PV=fv/ (1+i) n
PV = $50 + 100/ (1+.1)1+ 75/ (1+.1)2 + 50/ (1+.1)3
50+ 90.909 + 61.98 + 37.56
$240.45
2. We sometimes need to find out how long it will take a sum of
money (or something else, such as earnings, population, or
prices) to grow to some specified amount. For example, if a
company’s sales are growing at a rate of 20% per year, how
long will it take sales to double?
The formula of 72 Rule is as follows:
72 = n*i
72 = n * 20
N = 72/20
N= 3.6 years.
3. Will the future value be larger or smaller if we compound an
5. initial amount more often than annually—for example, every 6
months, or semiannually—holding the stated interest rate
constant? Why?
The future value of an amount will go on increasing as the
compounding frequency gets greater than one. If interest is
being compounded semiannually, quarterly, weekly or monthly
the reason for higher future value is that the compound interest
means interest on interest as the compounding frequency
continues increasing. If the interests is compounded
semiannually then interest amount will be higher than if interest
is compounded annually so interest on that higher amount will
be higher and so on. Thus future value of amount having
interest compounded quarterly will be higher than if the same
amount is being compounded semiannually and so on.
4. What is the effective annual rate (EAR or EFF%) for a
nominal rate of 12%, compounded semiannually? Compounded
quarterly? Compounded monthly? Compounded daily?
Effective interest rate = (1 + i/m) m – 1
Semiannually = (1 + .12/2)2 – 1
12.36%
Quarterly = (1 + .12/ 4) 4 – 1
12.56%
Monthly = (1 +.12/12) 12 -1
12.68%
Daily = (1+ .12/365)365 – 1
12.747%
5. Suppose that on January 1 you deposit $100 in an account
that pays a nominal (or quoted) interest rate of 11.33463%, with
interest added (compounded) daily. How much will you have in
your account on October 1, or 9 months later?
FV = PV (1 + i)n
PV = $100
I = 11.33463%
N= 9 months
Putting values in the formula we get FV
100 (1 + .1133463/365).75 * 365
6. 100 1`(1.0887)
$108.87
Use the following information for Questions 6 and 7:
A firm issues a 10-year, $1,000 par value bond with a 10%
annual coupon and a required rate of return is
10%.
6. What would be the value of the bond described above if, just
after it had been issued, the expected inflation rate rose by 3
percentage points, causing investors to require a 13% return?
Would we now have a discount or a premium bond?
V= PV of Interest payments + PV of Maturity value of bond
V= 100 * [1-1/ (1+.13)10]/.13 + 1000/(1.13)10
542.6 + 294.58
$837
The intrinsic value 837<1000 so it’s a discount bond.
7. What would happen to the bond’s value if inflation fell and
rd declined to 7%? Would we now have a premium or a discount
bond?
V= PV of interest payments + PV of maturity value of bond
V= 100 * [1-1/ (1+.07)10]/.07 + 1000/ (1.07)10
100 (7.02358) + 1000/1.967
702 + 508.349
$1210
The value 1210>1000 so it’s premium bond.
8. What is the yield to maturity on a 10-year, 9% annual
coupon, $1,000 par value bond that sells for $887.00? That sells
for $1,134.20? What does a bond selling at a discount or at a
premium tell you about the relationship between rd and the
bond’s coupon rate?
YTM=Kdl+ [(Kdl- Kdh)(PVl-PVytm)]/PVl-PVh
.09+ [(.12 - .09)(1000-887)]/(1000-830.47)
.09+ 3.39/169.53
10.99%
If market price =1134.20 YTM=?
Using the same procedure we will calculate YTM as follow:
If Kd=9% then V=1000<1134.20

Use the following information for Questions 1 through 5:
Assume that you are nearing graduation and have applied for a
job with a local bank. The bank’s
evaluation process requires you to take an examination that
covers several financial analysis techniques.
The first section of the test asks you to address these discounted
cash flow analysis problems:
1. What is the present value of the following uneven cash flow
stream −$50, $100, $75, and $50 at the
end of Years 0 through 3? The appropriate interest rate is 10%,
compounded annually.
2. We sometimes need to find out how long it will take a sum of
money (or something else, such as
earnings, population, or prices) to grow to some specified
amount. For example, if a company’s sales
are growing at a rate of 20% per year, how long will it take
sales to double?
9. 3. Will the future value be larger or smaller if we compound an
initial amount more often than annually—
for example, every 6 months, or semiannually—holding the
stated interest rate constant? Why?
4. What is the effective annual rate (EAR or EFF%) for a
nominal rate of 12%, compounded
semiannually? Compounded quarterly? Compounded monthly?
Compounded daily?

10%.
6. What would be the value of the bond described above if, just
after it had been issued, the expected
inflation rate rose by 3 percentage points, causing investors to
require a 13% return? Would we now
have a discount or a premium bond?
7. What would happen to the bond’s value if inflation fell and
10. rd declined to 7%? Would we now have a

8. What is the yield to maturity on a 10-year, 9% annual
coupon, $1,000 par value bond that sells for
$887.00? That sells for $1,134.20? What does a bond selling at
a discount or at a premium tell you

9. What are the total return, the current yield, and the capital
gains yield for the discount bond in
Question #8 at $887.00? At $1,134.20? (Assume the bond is
held to maturity and the company does
not default on the bond.)
