1.Suppose you expect to receive a $10,000 bonus from your employer in two years upon completing your college degree. If the interest rate is 5%, what is the present value of the $10,000?
Present Value=Future Value divided by 1+interest times years
PV=FV/(1+interest)# of years PV= 10,000/(1+0.05)2
PV=$9070.30
2. The Table below shows the prices and supply and demand for flu shots in millions. Not taking into account the benefits from flu shots, what are the equilibrium price and quantity from flu shots? Now suppose that every flu shot generates $10.00 in external benefits (from others being likely to get sick). Show how this positive externality affect the curve (draw a new curve on the graph). Taking into account
external benefits, what would be the new equilibrium price and quantity of the flu shot?

A state lottery gives a winner the choice of receiving the winning amount in equal monthly payments for 20 years or receiving a lump sum equal to the present value of an
annuity with future value equal to the winnings. The winner selecting monthly payments will receive $4,000,000/240 = $16,666.67 each month for each million dollars of
winnings. (Round your final answers to two decimal places.)

Suppose that the parents of a young child decide to make annual deposits into a saving account, with the first deposit being made on
the child's fifth birthday and the last deposit being made on the 15th birthday. Then, starting on the child's 18th birthday (EOY), four
withdrawals will be made. The sequence of the amounts of withdrawals is $2000, $2400, $2800, and $3200. If the effective annual
interest rate is 8% during this period, what are the annual deposits in years 5 through 15? Use a uniform gradient amount in your
solution and support your work by drawing the cash flow diagram.
