Business and engineering seniors are comparing methods of financing their college education during their senior year. The business student has $30,000 in student loans that comes due at graduation. Interest is an effective 4% per year. The engineering senior owes $50,000: 50% from his parents with no interest due, and 50% from a credit union loan. This latter amount is also due at graduation with an effective rate of 7% per year. (a) What is the D-E mix for each student? (b) If their grandparents pay the loans in full at graduation, what are the amounts on the checks they write for each graduate? (c) When grandparents pay the full amount at graduation, what percent of the principal does the interest represent?

The median annual income for someone with an Associates Degree is $31,936. The median annual income for someone with a Bachelor's Degree is $45,221. Suppose you have an associate's degree. If you quit your job and go back to school to study two years for a bachelor's degree, it will cost you $55,000 in tuition and fees plus approximately $64,000 in lost earnings. After graduation, how long will it take you to earn back that money?
During four years of college, Nolan MacGregor's student loans are $4,000, $3,500, $4,400, and $5,000 for freshman year through senior year, respectively. Each loan amount gathers interest of 2%, compounded quarterly, while Nolan is in school and 3%, compounded quarterly, during a 6-month grace period after graduation. (a) What is the loan balance (in dollars) after the grace period? Assume the freshman year loan earns 2% interest for 3/4 year during the first year, then for 3 full years until graduation. Make similar assumptions for the loans for the other years. (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)$ (b) After the grace period, the loan is amortized over the next 10 years at 3%, compounded quarterly. Find the quarterly payment (in dollars).

Jenny Jenks has researched the financial pros and cons of entering into a 1-year MBA program at her state university. The tuition and needed books for a master's program will have an upfront cost of $51,000. If she enrolls in an MBA program, Jenny will quit her current job, which pays $50,000 per year after taxes (for simplicity, treat any lost earnings as part of the upfront cost). On average, a person with an MBA degree earns an extra $21,000 per year (after taxes) over a business career of 39 years. Jenny believes that her opportunity cost of capital is 5.3%. Given herestimates, find the net present value (NPV) of entering this MBA program. Are the benefits of further education worth the associated costs? The net present value (NPV) of entering this MBA program is Are the benefits of further education worth the associated costs?
You will be in graduate school for the next two years. You borrowed some money from the bank for your graduate education, which the bank has accepted to be paid after you graduate from school in three years. The bank has accepted to the following payment plan: from the beginning of Year 3 (25th month) to end of year 5 (60th month), pay $950 per month 25 and increase payment by 2% every month thereafter. How much money should you put aside each month (equal amount) for the first 24 months (during graduate school) such that you can pay the loan back after graduation? Use an APR of 12%, compounded monthly.

As a recent graduate with an associate degree in Business, you are trying to determine if getting a Bachelor’s degree is worth the money. To help make the decision, you should evaluate the present value of the cash flows from possessing an associate degree versus possessing a bachelor’s degree. Researching current tuition fees and employment data has yielded the following information: * Annual Tuition and costs for a CSU: $10,000 (Assume this covers all expenses: tuition, books, etc.) * Time to Compete: 2 years * Average Salary with associate degree only: $35,000 * Average Salary with bachelor’s degree: $55,000 Assume you will earn the above salaries for ten years. Use the present value tables to complete the following: 1. Determine the Net Present Value of the Cash Flows from the associate degree; there is no tuition cost as you have already completed the degree. 2. Determine the Net Present Value of the Cash Flows from the bachelor’s degree; remember to account for the “cost” of…
