Bonds often pay a coupon twice a year. For the valuation of bonds that make semiannual payments, the number of periods doubles, whereas the amount of cash flow decreases by half. Using the values of cash flows and the number of periods, the valuation model is adjusted accordingly.
Assume that a $1,000,000 par value, semiannual coupon U.S. Treasury note with five years to maturity (YTM) has a coupon rate of 3%. The yield to maturity of the bond is 7.70%.

b) $686,768.25
c) $969,555.18
d) $807,962.65.
Based on your calculations and understanding of semiannual coupon bonds, complete the following statement:

The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price is $940,000, and it would cost another $25,000 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and it would be sold after 3 years for $624,000. The MACRS rates for the first three years are 0.3333, 0.4445, and 0.1481. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $19,000.

The Postal Service is negotiating a new three-year agreement with two of its unions. One represents the clerks and one the mail carriers. The USPS negotiators are in two separate teams, one negotiating with each of the two unions. The two unions are not affiliated or legally tied to each other in any way, but they do talk informally. After both negotiations have concluded, the USPS management negotiators discovered that the clerk union and the carrier union were sharing information about what they were getting from management. For example, at the time that the clerk union was seeking to have management pay 50% of health insurance, the carrier union quietly told the clerk union that management had tentatively agreed to pay 55% for the carriers. Knowing this, the clerks decided to raise the demand to 55%, and were ultimately successful. The USPS is now considering a lawsuit or filing an Unfair Labor Practice for the unions sharing this information during the conduct of active negotiations, and voiding the 55% coverage of health care insurance that had been agreed to for the clerk union, arguing that it was negotiated based on illegally obtained information. Which of the following is most correct?
A. The actions of the clerk and carrier unions are not prohibited, and management does not have any recourse to recover damages nor to win an Unfair Labor Practice.
B. The actions of the clerk and carrier unions are not prohibited, and management cannot fire an Unfair Labor Practice. USPS can successfully sue both unions for damages related to the 55% paid for health care insurance for clerks.
C. This is an example of a lock-in agreement between the two unions and is prohibited by the NLRB.
D. All of the above are correct.
