Jowel Smithers and Sonda Richards merged all of their financial resources and opened a mobile phone sales and repair business in the upscale Domain Mall in Los Angeles 10 years ago with an initial investment of $2.5 million. As revenues increased significantly over the first 4 years, they took out salaries that totaled $500,000 each year for the two of them.

They hoped at the initiation of the joint business venture to make 10% per year on the investment in terms of salaries. (a) Determine the equivalent future worth after 10 years of the salaries. (b) If they had been satisfied with a $5 million future worth, calculate the size that the initial investment could have been instead of the $2.5 million, provided they had the funds available.

Ten years ago, Valeria and Issac each invested $300,000 to create Xava Corporation. Xava develops and manufactures rock climbing and bungee jumping equipment. The business has become very profitable (it now is valued at $3,000,000), and Issac would like to cash out the profits and sell the business. Valeria, however, wants to reinvest the profits and expand the business into ice diving. Because they have different expectations, Valeria and Issac agree that the best solution is to divide up the company. Issac will receive the bungee division; Valeria, the rock climbing. After the reorganization, Issac sells his stock in the bungee division for $1,500,000 at the beginning of the current year. Valeria retains her ownership of the rock climbing division..
