b. If Victoria wants to have $1700 in seven years, how much money must she put in a savings account today? Assume that the savings account pays 6% and it is compounded quarterly

c. Winner Lei is thinking of buying a miniature golf course. It is expected to generate cash flows of $40,000 per year in years 1, $50,000 per year in year 2 and year 3. If the appropriate discount rate is 10%, what is the present value of these cash flows?

d. Suppose you win a lottery and under the terms of the lottery, you will receive $250,000 per year for the next 25 years. If the rate of interest is 12% per year, how much is the present value of your winnings?

f. Tamika wins a lottery and under the terms, she will receive $100,000 per year forever. If the rate of interest is 20% per year, how much is the present value of her winnings?

Explanation / Answer

ANSWER A) F = 7500(F/P, 8/2%, 10) = $7500 X 1.4802 = $ 11101.5

b) $ 1700 / (1+0.015)28 = $ 1700 /28.42 = $ 59.82

Quarterly rate = 6% / 4 =1.5%

No of quarters in 7 years= 4 x 7 = 28

c)

ANSWER D) END mode PMT 250,000 N 25 I/Y 12 FV 0

= $ 250,000 X 7.84314 (USING PRESENT VALUE OF ORDINARY ANNUITY)

= $ 1960785

E) PRESENT VALUE OF ANNUITY @ 9% FOR 5 YEARS IS 3.88965

THEREFORE PRESENT VALUE= $ 27 X 3.88965 = $ 105

ANSWER F) PRESENT VALUE OF WINNINGS = $ 100000 / 0.20 = $ 500,000

YEAR CF PV @ 10% PRESENT VALUE OF CF 1 40000 0.90909 36363.60 2 50000 0.82645 41322.50 3 50000 0.75131 37565.50 TOTAL 115251.60
