The first assets option to be assessed here is the bond issued by the Qatar Modern Electronics Company. The company issued the bond during the year 2016 and it is due to mature by the year 2025. The bond was issued for a value of 42 million dollars 10% bond as a long-term investment. The bonds are semi-annual in nature and the market yield was 8% for the bonds that are similar in structure and other demand factors. The second investment option to be assessed here is the bond issued by the Qatar International Trade Company. The company issued the bond during the same year as Qatar Modern Electronics but it is due to mature by the year 2030. The bond was issued for a value of 42 million dollars 10% bond as a long-term investment. The bonds are semi-annual in nature and the market yield was 12% for the bonds that are similar in structure and other demand factors. For the first bond, the market yield is lower than the returns as interest rates, therefore we have to pay a premium of 2%. However, for the second options, the bond rates are lesser than the yield and it indicates that that we are receiving discounts. The assumption for the first bond issued by Qatar Modern Electronics Company is that, it will be sold by the end of the year 2022 for $ 42,250,000. The assumption made for the second bond issued by Qatar International Trade Company is that the bond will be sold by the end of year 2027 for $53,750,000.

The present value of the single cash flow is calculated with the following formula

The calculation process of interest payment, interest revenue, discount amortization or premium, unamortized discount or premium, and carrying value are as follows. The interest payment is measured by multiplying the yield with principal amount. For the interest revenue, the measurement is carried out with multiplying the carrying value with interest rate provided by the bond, the discount amortization or premium is measured with deducting amount of payment and bond interest expenses. To measure the unamortized discount or premium the prior payment unamortized discount is deducted by the current discount amortized, and the carrying value is measured by deducting the previous year carrying balance and current discount amortized.

The internal rate of return of the firm is measured with the help of the following formula:
