In 2015, an investor has an endowment of $300 which he can invest either in a bond or in a new factory being set up. The bond pays interest of 10% per year compounded yearly, for 3 years, starting from 2016. In the last year, it pays back the initial principal amount as well. The new factory project gives a fixed real income return of $200 every year for the next 3 years. Assume that the investor ignores the initial investment of $300 to calculate the present value of his retums and the nominal discount rate for both of the investment options is 10% The price levels for years 2015 to 2018 are given in the table below, Year 2015 2016 2017 2018 Price Level (P) 1.05 1.00 1.1 1.15 The real present value for the returs from the new factory project (V) (Round your answer to two decimal places) The equation used for this calculation is The real present value for the retums from the bond is (V) is 50 (Round your answer to two decimal places) In 2015, an investor has an endowment of $300 which he can invest either in a bond or in a new factory being set up.
