1. You are considering a project which generates $10,000 in 6 months and $20,000 in one year and will run you $26,000 today. You know these cash flows are exact. You also have the Treasury yield curve from the Wall Street Journal in front of you and see that the 6-month T-bill is trading at a 4% CBE discount rate and the one-year T-bond (which pays coupons in 6-months and one-year) is trading at par (100) with a yield of 6%. (Rates are CBE). Should you invest in this project?

First I solve the one-year spot rate s: 100 = 3/1.04 + 1.03/(1+s) s = 0.0606
NPV = -26,000 + 10,000/1.04 + 20,000/1.0606 = 2472.64 > 0 Invest in this project
