You see on TV that the Mega Millions is up to $2 million! You decide to buy a ticket ......... and you WIN!!! Unfortunately, you do not get that amount right away. Instead, this is the future value of an annuity. Let us examine some choices you have regarding your big win. a) You could choose to collect your winnings today, in the present day. The lottery people could invest this present value and earn 2.7% interest, compounded annually, and have the $2 million in 25 years. How much would they give you today? b) The interest rate in part (a) is very conservative. You have a “friend” who advises you to take the money today and invest it with him, at 6.6% compounded quarterly, for those 25 years. How much would you have in 25 years if you did this? (What is the future value of the amount you computed in part (a)?) c) Otherwise, you could choose to take the annuity.

You are evaluating a proposal to buy a new executive jet for your corporation. The new jet will cost £7.5 million to buy. You will need to pay for this jet as soon as you purchase it. If you buy the new jet, you will sell the old executive jet for £3.0 million, which you will receive immediately. If you buy the new jet, there will be immediate extra training costs totalling £200000, for air crew and ground staff, which will occur once only and will be paid immediately. The new jet is more fuel-efficient and buying it will lead to an estimated saving of £500000 per year on fuel. However, maintenance will be more expensive and therefore maintenance costs will be £100000 more per year than at present. All fuel and maintenance costs must be paid for in the year in which they are incurred. Based on the above information, what is the estimated payback period for the new jet in years? Enter your answer to 1 decimal place, without commas. For example, for 6.33 years enter 6.3
