Financial Option 3: $30 Million Investment in Bonds

Rationale for investment: The business is offering these bonds for sale contracts with another business in China to assemble computer parts. The Chinese business has used child labor in the past, but it claims it has stopped this practice. However, the U.S. business selling these bonds has not investigated to verify whether these claims are true.

Assumptions to consider:

• 10-year bond

• 8% coupon

• Priced at a discount: $95

• Discount rate is 9%
