3) Nalani and Steven, both in their early 20s, recently married and want to plan to save money so that they could buy a house by age 40. They estimate the cost of a home will be around $450,000 in 20 years. After pooling their savings together, they have $57,000 saved. They can invest the money in a municipal tax free bond that pays 8% interest annually and matures in 20 years. Will they have enough money to buy the home based on their current savings? How much, exactly, do they need today to be able to afford the house?

The Turners have 10 years to save a lump-sum amount for their child’s college education. Today a four-year college education costs $75,000, and this is expected to increase by 10% per year into the foreseeable future. Solve, a. If the Turners can earn 6% per year on a conservative investment in a highly rated tax-free municipal bond, how much money must they save each year for the next 10 years to afford to send their child to college? b. If a certain college will “freeze” the cost of education in 10 years for a lump-sum of current value $150,000, is this a good deal?
Anita and Jim are considering a home equity loan to build a nice deck and patio in their back yard. They want to borrow $35,000 and are quoted an APR of 10%.

Sharpy and Jane are saving for the college education of their newborn son, Kasuba. The couple estimate that college expenses will run K30,000 per year when their son reaches college in 18 years. The annual interest rate over the next few decades will be 14 percent.How much money must they deposit in the bank each year so that their son will be completely supported through four years of college? To simplify the calculations, assume that Kasuba is born today. His parents will make the first of his four annual tuition payments on his 18th birthday. They will make equal bank deposits on each of his first 17 birthdays, but no deposit at date 0.
A professor has two daughters that he hopes will one day go to college. Currently, in-state students at the local University pay about $21,413.00 per year (all expenses included). Tuition will increase by 4.00% per year going forward. The professor's oldest daughter, Sam, will start college in 16 years, while his youngest daughter, Ellie, will begin in 18 years. The professor is saving for their college by putting money in a mutual fund that pays about 8.00% per year. Tuition payments are at the beginning of the year and college will take 4 years for each girl. (Sam's first tuition payment will be in exactly 16 years) The professor has no illusion that the state lottery funded scholarship will still be around for his girls, so how much does he need to deposit each year in this mutual fund to successfully put each daughter through college.

Suppose that your parents are willing to lend you $20,000 for part of the cost of your college education and living expenses. They want you to repay them the $20,000, without any interest, in a lump sum 15 years after you graduate, when they plan to retire and move. Meanwhile, you will be busy repaying federally guaranteed loans for the first 10 years after graduation. But you realize that you won’t be able to repay the lump sum without saving up. So you decide that you will put aside money in an interest-bearing account every month for the five years before the payment is due. You feel comfortable with putting aside $275 a month (the amount of the payment on your college loans, which will be paid off after 10 years). How high an annual nominal interest rate on savings do you need to accumulate the $20,000 in 60 months, if interest is compounded monthly? Enter into a spreadsheet the values d 5 275, r 5 0.05 (annual rate), and n 5 60, and the savings formula with r replaced by r/12 (the…
Your daughter needs to be able to draw $50,000 a year from her college savings fund (you started from birth) to pay for college expenses to obtain a medical degree (assume she spends 4 years for bachelor, 4 years for med school, then additional 2 years as resident and yearly spending will be consistent from year to year). At start of her college career, she intends to invest her savings in government securities that should return 5.5% a year compuounded continuously. a. Obtain the equation for dP/dt and then find the genearl solution of P(t) with, as yet undetermined, initial value P_0. b. How large must your daughter's initial college savings be so that she can continue drawing her $50,000 income until she becomes a doctor?
Your younger sister, Linda, will start college in five years. She has just informed your parents that she wants to go to Hampton University, which will cost $45,000 per year for four years (cost assumed to come at the end of each year). Anticipating Linda’s ambitions, your parents started investing $6,500 per year five years ago and will continue to do so for five more years. Use 11 percent as the appropriate interest rate throughout this problem (for discounting or compounding). How much will your parents have to save each year (A?) for the next five years in addition to the $6,500 they are currently saving to have the necessary funds for Linda's education? Use Appendix C and Appendix D for an approximate answer, but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)

Aziz and Bo are planning a big graduation party for their friends in exactly four years. They decide to invest some money today to cover the costs of the party. Both determine they will receive an APR of 3% from their investments and need $10 000 to cover the costs, but Aziz’s investment compounds monthly while Bo’s compounds weekly.If PA is the initial value of Aziz’s investment, PB is the initial value of Bo’s investment, and both aim to finance the party with the least amount of capital, what is the relationship between PA and PB? Namely, is PA > PB, PB > PA, are they equal, or can they not be compared? Give a brief explanation of your answer.
