Q1. On September 1, 1998, Susan Chao bought a motorcycle for $10,000. She paid $l,000 down and financed the balance with
a five-year loan at an APR of 9.6%, compounded monthly. She started the monthly payment exactly one month after the purchase, i.e., October 1998. In the middle of October 2000, she got a new job and decided to pay off the loan. If the bank charges her 1% prepayment penalty based on the loan balance, how much should she pay the bank on November 1, 2000? Answer:

Q2. A well-known insurance company offers a policy known as the “Estate Creator Six Pay”. Typically the policy is bought by
a parent or grandparent for a child at the child’s birth.The details of the policy are as follows: The purchaser (say, the parent)
makes a payment of $750 at the child’s first, second and third birthday, and makes a payment of $800 at the child’s fourth, fifth and sixth birthday to the insurance company (there are six payments in total). No more payments are made after the child’s sixth birthday. When the child reaches age 65, he or she receives $250,000. If the effective annual rate (EAR) is 6% for the first six years and 7% for all subsequent years, is the policy worth buying?
-> Since the NPV of the policy is negative, -$545.88, it is not worth buying.

Q6. When Marilyn Monroe died, ex-husband Joe DiMaggio vowed to place fresh flowers on her grave every Sunday as long as
he lived. A bunch of fresh flowers that the former baseball player thought appropriate for the star cost about $5 when she died in 1962. Based on actuarial tables, “Joltin’ Joe” could expect to live for 30 years after the actress died. Assume that the APR, compounded weekly, is 10.4%. Also, assume that the rate of inflation, is 3.9% per year, when expressed as an APR, compounded weekly. Assuming that each year has exactly 52 weeks, what is the present value of this commitment?

Q7. Your younger brother has come to you for advice. He is about to enter college and has two options open to him. His first option is to study engineering. If he does this, his undergraduate degree would cost him $12,000 a year for four years. Having obtained this, he would need to gain two years of practical experience: in the first year he would earn $20,000, in the second year he would earn $25,000. He would then need to obtain his master?s degree, which will cost $15,000 a year for two years. After that he will be fully qualified and can earn $40,000 per year for 25 years. His other alternative is to study accounting. If he does this, he would pay $13,000 a year for four years and then he would earn $31,000 per year for 30 years. The effort involved in the two careers is the same, so he is only interested in the earnings the jobs provide. All earnings and costs are paid at the end of the year. What advice would you give him if the market interest rate is 5%? A day later he comes back and says he took your advice, but in fact, the market interest rate was 6%. Has your brother made the right choice?

Q8. In January 1984, Richard “Goose” Gossage signed a contract to play for the San Diego Padres that guaranteed him a minimum of $9,955,000. The guaranteed payments were $875,000 for 1984, $650,000 for 1985, $800,000 in 1986, $1 million in 1987, $1 million in 1988, and $300,000 in 1989.

If the EAR is 9% and all payments are made on July 1 of each year, what would the present value of these guaranteed payments be on January 1, 1984? If he were to receive an equal annual salary at the end of each of the five years from 1984 through 1988, what would his equivalent annual salary be? Ignore taxes throughout this problem.

Gerry likes driving small cars and buys nearly identical ones whenever the old one needs replacing. Typically, he trades in his old car for a new one costing about $16,000. A new car warranty covers all repair costs above standard maintenance (standard maintenance costs are constant over the life of the car) for the first two years. After that, his records show an average repair expense (over standard maintenance) of $2600 in the third year (at the end of the year). increasing by 50 percent per year thereafter. If a 30 percent declining-balance depreciation rate is used to estimate salvage values and interest is 9 percent, how often should Gerry get a new car?
