For a present sum of $750,000, what is the annual worth (in then-current dollars) in years 1 through 5 if the market interest rate is 10% per year and the inflation rate is 5% per year?
Aquatech Microsystems spent $183,000 for a communications protocol to achieve interoperability among its utility systems. If the company uses a real interest rate of 15% per year on such investments and a recovery period of 5 years, what is the equivalent annual worth of the expenditure in then-current dollars at an inflation rate of 6% per year?
If the market interest rate is 12% per year and the inflation rate is 5% per year, the number of future dollars in year 7 that will be equivalent to $2000 now is best represented by the equation: (a) Future dollar amount = 2000(1 + 0.198)7 (b) Future dollar amount = 2000/(1.198)7 (c) Future dollar amount = 2000(1 + 0.12)7 (d ) Future dollar amount = 2000/(1.07)7
Provided the inflation rate is f percent per year, to determine the purchasing power of $10,000 ten years from now, the $10,000 must be:a. divided by (1 + f )10b. multiplied by (1 + f )10c. divided by (1+ 0.10) fd. divided by (1 + f )
When all future cash flows are expressed in constant-value dollars, the rate that should be used to find the present worth is the:a. real MARR.b. inflation rate.c. inflated interest rate.d. inflated MARR.
A small mechanical consulting company is examining its future cash flow requirements. The president expects to replace office machines and IT equipment at various times over a 6-year planning period. Specifically, the company expects to spend $6000 two years from now, $9000 three years from now, and $5000 six years from now. What is the purchasing power (with respect to today’s dollars) of each expenditure in its respective year, if the inflation rate is 4% per year?
The company you work for signed a contract with a security firm to control access to company grounds and corporate offices. The contract amount was for $140,000 for the first year, renewable each year for up to a total of 5 years at the same cost plus a percentage increase equal to the inflation rate for the preceding year. Your boss asked you to calculate the expected cost in the final year of the contract (year 5), assuming the inflation rate is 3% for the next 3 years and 5% for the last one.
According to the College Board, the average in-state tuition and fees at public 4-year colleges and universities increased from $1780 in 1990 to $9650 for the 2016–2017 school year (per full-time equivalent student). Calculate the relative change in public college cost over this time period, and compare it to the overall rate of inflation as measured by the CPI.
For many years, college cost (including tuition, fees, room, and board) increases have been higher than the inflation rate, averaging 5% to 8% per year. According to the College Board’s Trends in College Pricing, the average total costs in 2015 dollars were $19,548 for students attending in-state 4-year public colleges and universities and $43,921 for students at 4-year private colleges and universities. Assume an additional $4000 per year for textbooks, supplies, transportation, and other expenses. Using a 7% per year inflation rate, (a) how much can a sophomore high-school student expect to spend on in-state tuition, fees, room, and board for the freshman year (3 years from now) at a 4-year public university, and (b) what is the estimated total cost for the second year at the university, if textbooks, supplies, etc. also increase at 7% per year?
The future amount of P100,000 for a period of 8 years is equal to P341,655.49. Considering money is worth 10% per year with an inflation rate of "x " per cent per year, find the value of inflation rate.
You just made an investment in an insurance policy that is guaranteed to pay you $1.8 million 20 years from now provided you live that long. What will be the purchasing power of that amount with respect to today’s dollars if the market interest rate is 8% per year and the inflation rate stays at 3.8% per year over the 20-year period?
