You have just won 10 million dollar in the lottery which promises to pay you 1 million dollar every year for the next 10 years. Have you really won 10 million dollar assume interest rate is 5%.
An insurer needs to make the following annuity payments to an individual: £2176 paid at the end of each year for the first 15 years and then £2177 paid at the end of each year for the following 12 years. Calculate the total amount of fund the insurer needs to hold today in order to meet these payments, given that the effective rate of interest is: 5.8% pa for the first 7 years and then 6.2% pa thereafter. Express your answer in £s to 2 decimal places. (correct answer = 28787.58)
Assume a consumer who has current period income y = 200 , future-period income y' = 150, current and future taxes t = 40 and t' = 50, respectively and faces a market real interest rate ofr 005, or 5% per period. The consumer would like to consume equal amounts in both periods, that is, he or she would like to set c = c', if possible. However, this consumer is a faced with a credit market imperfections, in that he or she cannot borrow at all, that is, s>or=20. (a) Show the consumer's lifetime budget constraint and indifference curves in a diagram. (b) Calculate his or her optimal current period and future-period consumption and optimal, saving, and show this in your diagram.

(b) Suppose that everything remains unchanged. except that now t = 20 and t' = 71. Calculate the effects on current and future con sumption and optimal saving, and show this in your diagram (d) Now, suppose alternatively that y = 100. Repeat parts (a) and (b), and explain any differences.
Consider a 3.5 percent TIPS with an issue CPI reference of 185.6. The bond is purchased at the beginning of the year (after the interest payment), when the CPI was 193.5. For the interest payment in the middle of the year, the CPI was 195.1. Now, at the end of the year, the CPI is 199.6 and the interest payment has been made.What is the total return of the TIPS in dollars? What is the total return of the TIPS in percentage?
On January 1, 2012, Albert invested $8,000 at 5 percent interest per year for three years. The CPI (times 100) on January 1, 2012, stood at 100. On January 1, 2013, the CPI was 108 on January 1, 2014, it was 115; and on January 1, 2015, the day Albert’s investment matured, the CPI was 117. Find the real rate of interest earned by Albert in each of the three years and his total real return over the three-year period. Assume that interest earnings are reinvested each year and themselves earn interest.Hint: Calculate inflation and real interest for each year and then calculate it for the three years as a whole.Instructions: Enter your responses rounded to one decimal place. If you are entering any negative numbers be sure to include a negative sign (-) in front of those numbers. Year Real rate of interest 2012 % 2013 % 2014 % Total real rate of return: %.

Assume that you borrow $5,000, and you pay back the $5,000 plus $250 in interest at the end of the year. Assuming no inflation, what is the real interest rate? What would the interest rate be if the $250 of interest had been discounted at the time the loan was made? What would the interest rate be if you were required to repay the loan in 12 equal monthly installments?
