Family Financial Plan Project – Part 2 – Buying a Car and a House
You have just been hired as a Level 1 Financial Coach at UNT Financial Services. Now your first clients, Latoya and Sam Kroger, have asked for your assistance putting together a simple family financial plan. They are both 27 years old and Latoya is pregnant with their first child. They plan to have at least 2 more
children over the next 5 years for a total of 3 children. They want to make sure they are taking the right steps financially. You will assist them and make recommendations to help them improve their situation in a video presentation.
Latoya and Sam have the financial goals of buying a house and buying another car. They want your help and recommendations. Remember you will enter your numbers into Canvas to check them and you will
deliver your recommendations for all parts in your video presentation at the end of the semester
.
Purchasing a Car:
Latoya wants to buy a new car, so they do not have to share the truck. Latoya has narrowed her choice to a new BMW 230i from BMW of Plano. She wants your recommendations on buying new or used. In your presentation you need to present options available in DFW between new and used models no older
than 2019 and fewer than 40,000 miles. Latoya and Sam have the following options for buying new:

payments? Which option would you recommend based on your answer? What options does Latoya have
in the used car market? Should Latoya finance at Texas Fed or at the Dealership with BMW Financing? What other costs might change with a new vehicle?
Purchasing a House (questions on next page):
Latoya and Sam are ready to purchase their first home in Lewisville. They contracted with a seller where the final price on the home is $335,000. Calculate the following and make your recommendations:

She has an after tax income of $48,000 and budgets $30,000 for required expenses. This leaves $18,000 to spend on debt and savings annually. (Assume all annuity payments are in the form of ordinary annuities.)
Part A: Debt
Sue has a current balance of $18,000 on her credit card. She has a minimum monthly payment of $500 and an APR of 18.0% (divide by 12 to get the monthly rate). How many months will it take Sue to pay off her credit card debt?
Suppose Sue needs to purchase a car. She believes she can spend $550 a month on a car. She has been approved for a 6.0% loan (divide by 12 for monthly rate) for 48 months. What is the maximum amount she can spend on a car so as not to exceed her $550 a month budget?

Practice 1
Your friend is celebrating her 35th birthday today and wants to start saving for her anticipated retirement at age 65 (she will retire on her 65th birthday). She would like to be able to withdraw $80,000 from her savings account on each birthday for 20 years following her retirement (the first withdrawal will be on her 66th birthday). Your friend intends to invest her money in the local savings bank which offers 4% p.a. compound semi-annually. She wants to make equal annual deposits on each birthday in a new savings account she will establish for her retirement fund. If she starts making these deposits TODAY and continues to make deposits until she is 65 (the last deposit will be on her 65th birthday), what amount must she deposit annually to be able to make the desired withdrawals upon retirement?
Any intermediate steps should be rounded to 4 or more decimal places.

Creating an endowment Personal Finance Problem On completion of her introductory finance course, Marla Lee
was so pleased with the amount of useful and interesting knowledge she gained that she convinced her parents, who
were wealthy alumni of the university she was attending, to create an endowment. The endowment will provide for
three students from low-income families to take the introductory finance course each year in perpetuity. The cost of
taking the finance course this year is $500 per student (or $1.500 for 3 students), but that cost will grow by 2.1% per
year forever. Marla's parents will create the endowment by making a single payment to the university today. The
university expects to earn 8% per year on these funds.
a. What will it cost 3 students to take the finance class next year?
b. How much will Marla's parents have to give the university today to fund the endowment if it starts paying out cash
flow next year?
c. What amount would be needed to fund the endowment if the…
