1. The following financing information is available for a public project: (30 points) Engineer's estimate of cost = $193M. Bond issued to fund the construction and ancillary costs = $199M. The bonds will be redeemable at the end of 30 years Annual interest = 4% of the bond principal. Highest bid received from banks = $188M. (The winner pays $120M to the investor at the commencement of the project and the rest after three years) a) Determine the effective interest rate (IRR). b) If the bank offers to make an individual payment of $182M at the commencement instead of the two payments mentioned above, would it be more beneficial to the investor to accept this offer with the same IRR? 1.
