(Expected return calculation) "DEF" is a firm that is traded on NASDAQ. On 1/1/2014, the company issued 10,000 zero coupon bonds. Each bond has a face value of $100 and matures on 1/1/2019. The bonds are the only debt of the company. A bond rating company estimated the total value of the DEF's assets on 1/1/2019 as follows:
Probability Value of DEF assets on 1/1/2019
0.2 2,000,000
0.3 1,750,000
0.4 1,200,000
0.1 1,000,000

Two years after the bond issue, on 1/1/2016, the bond rating agency reexamined the DEF Company and estimated the total value of the firm's assets as follows:

Probability Value of DEF assets on 1/1/2019
0.05 2,000,000
0.25 1,750,000
0.65 1,200,000
0.05 1.000.000
a. What will be the influence of the new probability distribution on the expected return on DEF bonds?
b. What will be the influence of the new estimation on the DEF stock price, assuming the cost of capital for the stock holders is 15%?

Annuity payments are assumed to come at the end of each payment period (termed an ordinary annuity). however, an exception occurs when the annuity payments come at the beginning of each period (termed an annuity due). what is the future value of a 13-year annuity of $2,800 per period where payments come at the beginning of each period? the interest rate is 9 percent. use appendix c for an approximate answer, but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods. to find the future value of an annuity due when using the appendix tables, add 1 to n and subtract 1 from the tabular value. for example, to find the future value of a $100 payment at the beginning of each period for five periods at 10 percent, go to appendix c for n = 6 and i = 10 percent. look up the value of 7.716 and subtract 1 from it for an answer of 6.716 or $671.60 ($100 × 6.716)
