Today (year 0) a new 7-megaWatt (MW) solar panel farm is constructed at a cost of $14 million. Four years from today, a smaller 6-MW solar farm will be added to the existing farm. The inflation rate on solar panel construction projects averages 8% per year. If the cost-capacity factor is 0.85 for solar panel construction, what is the estimated capital investment for the smaller 6-MW solar farm?
A mutual fund investment is expected to earn 11% per year for the next 25 years. If inflation will average 3% per year during this 25-year period of time, what is the compounded value (in today’s dollars) of this savings vehicle when $10,000 is invested now?
Suppose you start saving for retirement when you are 45 years old. You invest $5,000 the first year and increase this amount by 3% each year to match inflation for a total of 20 years. The interest rate is 10% per year. How much money will you have saved when you are 65 years old?

- A small scale mining investment is expected to generate $60,000 per year in profits over the next 15 years. If these profits are invested in a mutual fund account that earns a market interest rate of 18% per year, calculate how much the fund will be worth after the 15 years in actual dollars and in real dollars.

The estimated inflation rate is 7.5%. If the fund will earn 8% compounded annually what amount should he invest now on his 40th birthday?arrow_forwardYou are trying to estimate the real interest rate for the mining industry products and proceed as follows. You consider buying coal and gold in equal proportion, spending $1000 on coal, and another $1000 on gold in today's dollars. In 4 years from now, the selling values in actual dollars are predicted to be $1,270 (coal) and $1,210 (gold). Inflation (for coal) is 1.1% per year, for the next 4 years. For gold, the gold price index is predicted to rise in the next 4 years from the current 417 points to 431 points. Compute the estimated real interest rate, as a number, with 0.001 precision. Hint: Calculate real interest rate for the cash flow: 1) invest now $1000+$1000; 2) sell in 4 years coal and gold and obtain appropriate cash flow.arrow_forward
