A young man has decided to go into business at the age 40. He wishes to accumulate P200,000.00 at that age. On his twenty-fifth birthday he deposits a certain amount and will increase the deposit by 10% each year until the fortieth year. If the funds can be invested at 9.6% compounded annually, how much should his initial investment be?

Assume that an investment of 100,000 produces a net cash flow of 60,000 per year for two years. The discount factor for year 1 is 0.89 and for year 2 is 0.80. The NPV is a. 0 b. 6,800 c. 1,400 d. (4,000)
Consider an EOY geometric gradient, which lasts for eight years, whose initial value at EOY one is $5,000 and f= 6% per year thereafter. Find the equivalent uniform gradient amount over the same period if the initial value of the cash flows at the end of year one is $4,000. Answer the following questions to determine the value of the gradient amount, G. The interest rate is 8% per year. Solve, a. What is P0 for the geometric gradient series? b. What is P0 of the uniform (arithmetic) gradient of cash flows? c. What is the value of G?
Whichoption is better: receive $160,000 now or $50,000, $25,000, $55,000, $30,000, and $40,000,respectively, over the next five years? The cash flows are at the end of each year except for$160,000.Requirements1. Assuming a 6% interest rate, which investment opportunity would you choose?2. If you could earn 10%, would your choice change?3. Assuming a 10% interest rate, what would the cash flow in year 5 have to be in order foryou to be indifferent to the two plans?
10. Determine the present value now of an investment of OMR3,000 made one year from now and an additional OMR3,000 made two years from now if the annual discount rate is 4 percent.
If we were to invest $10,000 in an S&P 500 index fund, pay 0.2% annual fees,and add $100 a month to it for 40 years, receiving 10.4% annual returns, what, theoretically. would happen to our investment with 3.43% annual inflation? What would it be worth in terms of today's dollars? That's 10.4% - 0.2% - 3.43% = 6.77% over 40 years.
A geometric gradient that increases at ? = 6% per year for 15 years is shown in the accompanying diagram. The annual interest rate is 12%. a.) What is the present equivalent value of this gradient? . b.) Draw a cash flow diagram
A geometric gradient has a positive cash flow of $1,000 at EOY zero (now), and it increases 5% per year for the following 5 years. Another geometric gradient has a positive value of $2,000 at the EOY 1, and it decreases 6% per year for years two through five. If the annual interest rate is 10%, which geometric gradient would you prefer?
Consider an EOY geometric gradient, which lasts for eight years, whose initialvalue at EOY one is $250,000 and f = 6% per year thereafter. Find the equivalentuniform gradient amount over the same period if the initial value of the cash flowsat the end of year one is $200,000. Answer the following questions to determinethe value of the gradient amount, G. The interest rate is 8% per year.
Question 1: Blue Bird is considering an investment of $230 000 with cash inflows of $95 000, $76 000, $71 000, $38 000 and $33 000 over the next five years respectively. Required: What is the net present value of this investment if the relevant discount rate is 12%?
2. ABC Corporation plans to set aside $50,000 per year beginning 1 year from nowfor replacing equipment 6 years from now. What will be the purchasing power (interms of current-value dollars) of the amount accumulated, if the investment growsby 10% per year, but inflation averages 4% per year?
You wish to have $23,000 in 10 years. Use Table 11-2 to create a new table factor, and then find how much you should invest now (in $) at 6% interest, compounded quarterly in order to have $23,000, 10 years from now. (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)
Ivy's Ice Cream is looking at an opportunity that would require an investment of $900,000 today. The investment will provide cash flows of $250,000 in the first year, $400,000 in the second year, and $600,000 in the third year. What is the internal rate of return (IRR) of this investment? (Round your answer to the tenths; enter your answer as a percent.)
