You are looking to invest your savings and want to earn a 10% annualized return. You can choose from the following three options:Project A: You will receive $100 at the end of two years.Project B: You will receive $50 at the end of one year and another $50 at the end of two years.Project C: You will receive $80 at the end of one year and another $20 at the end of two years.Calculate the present value of each option, which option should you pick?

You are offered the opportunity to put some money away for retirement. You will receive five annual payments of $25,000 each beginning in 40 years. How much would you be willing to invest today if you desire an interest rate of 12%?

Pick a target retirement age. It can be any age you want. Using your real life current age, and your target
retirement age, how much would you need to invest each month in order to reach $1,000,000 by the time
you want to retire. Assume you can earn 12% APY on your investing and you have $0 now. You can use
annual values for APY and PMT to solve this. If you had $1,000,000 and you wanted to live until age 100,
how much could you spend each year, starting from your target retirement age, and spending the same
amount each year until age 100? Assume your savings will earn 4% APY after you retire, and you will have
nothing left at the end.

You are trying to decide how much to save for retirement. Assume you plan to save $4,500 per year with the first investment made one year from now. You think
you can earn 6.0% per year on your investments and you plan to retire in 45 years, immediately after making your last $4,500 investment.
a. How much will you have in your retirement account on the day you retire?
b. If, instead of investing $4,500 per year, you wanted to make one lump-sum investment today for your retirement that will result in the same retirement saving,
how much would that lump sum need to be?
c. If you hope to live for 16 years in retirement, how much can you withdraw every year in retirement (starting one year after retirement) so that you will just
exhaust your savings with the 16th withdrawal (assume your savings will continue to earn 6.0% in retirement)?

a) Suppose you have $10,000 to invest in a savings account, and you have two investment
options available to you. Option A is a savings account that pays an annual interest rate
of 5% with compounding annually, while option B is a savings account that pays an
annual interest rate of 4.5% with compounding quarterly. Both options have a 5-year
term. Which option should you choose to maximize your return on investment? Why?
b) Which factor do you think played a critical role in your investment decision making?

Your financial planner offers you two different investment plans. Plan X is a $22, 000 annual perpetuity. Plan Y is
an annuity lasting 20 years and an annual payment, $30,000. Both plans will make their first payment one year
from today. At what discount rate would you be indifferent between these two plans
arrow_forward
An investment pays you $100 at the end of each of the next 3 years. The investment will then pay you $200 at the end of year 4, $300 at the end of year 5, and $500 at the end of year 6. If the rate of interest earned on the investment is 8%, what is the present value of this investment? What is its future value?
How do you solve this with excel?
arrow_forward
An example of how to calculate net present value is done using the following. Imagine you have been given an investment opportunity wherein if you invest $1,200 today, you will receive $650 dollars at the end of each year for the next 5 years. You could separately choose to invest your money at 10% interest each year. Should you take the investment opportunity? To find the answer, use the NPV formula:

Please put the solution in an excel spreadsheet to get the correct answer and please explain the steps for each formula in excel
You are offered the opportunity to put some money away for retirement. You will receive 10 annual payments of $5,000 each beginning in 26 years. If you desire an annual interest rate of 12% compounded monthly, answer the following two questions:
How much would you be willing to invest today?
How much would the money (that you will be willing to invest today) be worth at the end of your last payment (i.e., in year 35)?
Amount that you would be willing to invest today =
PV = $5,000/(1.01)26*12 + $5,000/(1.101)27*12 + $5,000/(1.01)28*12 + $5,000/(1.01)29*12 + $5,000/(1.01)30*12 + $5,000/(1.01)31*12 + $5,000/(1.01)32*12 + $5,000/(1.01)33*12 + $5,000/(1.01)34*12 + $5,000/(1.01)35*12
= $1,388.638
Amount that would the money worth at the end of your last payment =
FV = $1388.64 * (1+ 0.01)35*12
= $90691.52
