remain in the account eight years from today? Round to the nearest dollar.

6. You are considering purchasing common stock in AMZ Corporation. You anticipate that
the company will pay dividends of $5.00 per share next year and $7.50 per share in the
following year. You also believe that you can sell the common stock two years from now
for $30.00 per share. If you require a 14% rate of return on this investment, what is the
maximum price that you would be willing to pay for a share of AMZ common stock?

8. Assume that two investments have a three-year life and generate the cash flows shown
below. Which of the two would you prefer?
Year Investment A Investment B
1 $5,000 $8,000
2 $5,000 $5,000
3 $5,000 $2,000

B) Investment B, since it gives you the largest cash flows in earlier years
C) Neither, since they both have equal lives
D) Both investments are equally attractive

9. You intend to purchase a new car upon graduation in two years. It will have a cost of
$29,371, including all extra features and sales tax. You just received a $3,000 pre-
graduation gift from your rich uncle that you intend to deposit in a money market account
that pays 6% interest, compounded monthly. If you use the amount in the money market
account for a down payment, and take out an auto loan for the remainder, how much will
you need to borrow?

that pleases your parents costs $200,000, but they expect inflation to increase the price of

annually?

the end of 10 years. If the appropriate discount rate is 12%, which option should you
choose?

13. As a part of your savings plan at work, you have been depositing $250 per quarter in a
savings account earning 8% interest compounded quarterly for the last 10 years. You will
retire in 15 years and want to increase your contribution each year from $1,000 to $2,000
per year, by increasing your contribution every four months from $250 to $500.
Additionally, you have just inherited $10,000, which you plan to invest now to earn
interest at 12% compounded annually for the next 15 years. How much money will you
have in savings when you retire 15 years from now?
First of all, let us calculate the amount accumulated by the
savings over the past 10 years. It will be $250 compounded at
2% (8/4=2%) quarterly. Which comes out to $250(1+2/100)4*10
for the first savings (as there are 4 quarters in a year). Add this
with for the second deposit $250(1+2/100)4*9. Similarly, for the
rest of 8 years we can calculate and then sum them up which
comes out to 15,301.33

Now let this money sit in the bank for another 15 years which
after 15 years becomes 15,301.33*(1+2/100)4*15 =$50,203.10
14. What is the present value of the following uneven stream of cash flows? Assume a 6%

15. You want to travel to Europe to visit relatives when you graduate from college three years
from now. The trip is expected to cost a total of $10,000. Your parents have deposited
$5,000 for you in a CD paying 6% interest annually, maturing three years from now. Aunt
Hilda has agreed to finance the balance. If you are going to put Aunt Hilda's gift in an
investment earning 10% annually over the next three years, how much must she deposit
now so you can visit your relatives in three years?

18. Jay Coleman just graduated. He plans to work for five years and then leave for the
Australian "Outback" country. He figures that he can save $3,500 a year for the first three
years and $5,000 a year for the next two years. These savings will start one year from now.
In addition, his family gave him a $2,500 graduation gift. If he puts the gift, and the future
savings when they start, into an account that pays 7.75% compounded annually, what will
his financial "stake" be when he leaves for Australia five years from now? Round off to
the nearest $1.
