3.34 (LG 3.5) Gail has won a lottery that pays her $100 000 at the end of this year, $110 000 at the end of next year, $120 000 the following year, and so on, for 30 years. Leon has offered Gail $2 500 000 today in exchange for all the money she will receive. If Gail can get 8 percent interest on her savings, is this a good deal?

You plan to retire in 35 years and can invest to earn 6.85 percent. You estimate that you will need $82,000 at the end of each year for an estimated 30 years after retirement, and you expect to earn 4.5 percent during those retirement years. How much do you need to set aside at the end of each year to accumulate the money necessary for your retirement? (Assume year-end cash flows.) I will need this much at retirement _____________and will need to set aside ___________per year (at the end of each year.
Tyrone wants to spend $15,000 on a new car three years from now. He opens a savings account and deposits $3,000 today. One year from now, he plans to deposit $3,000 in the account, and one year after that, he plans to deposit another $3,000. If the account earns 5% interest per year, how much additional money will Tyrone need three years from now to meet his $15,000 goal? [Enter your answer with no dollar sign or comma.].

Suppose that you are considering subscribing to “ABC” magazine. The magazine is advertising a one-year subscription for $60 or a three-year subscription for $166. You plan to keep getting the magazine for at least three years. The advertisement says that a three-year subscription saves you $14 compared to buying three successive one-year subscriptions. If the interest rate is 10%, should you subscribe for one year or for three years? (Assume that one year from now a one-year subscription will still be $60.)
Compounding: the accumulation of a sum of money when the interest earned on the sum earns additional interest. Because of compounding, small differences in interest rates lead to big differences over time. Assume that instead of spending $30,000 on your wedding, you only spend $5,000. You use the remaining $25,000 to buy stocks/bonds and you hold them for 40 years. Calculate the Future Value on $25,000: If your portfolio's rate of return is 8% (i = 0.08), Future Value = If your portfolio's rate of return is 6% (i = 0.06), Future Value = In a 200-word paragraph, please summarize the results of your calculations and list three things that you learned from this exercise.
Emily recently graduated with a B.A. in economics and was offered a job with a small but growing company for $40,600 per year. About the same time, Emily inherited $65,000. She decided to pass up the job and use her inheritance to purchase a bubble tea shop rather than put the money into a bond fund (as her uncle suggested), which would have paid 6 percent per year interest. Emily works full-time at her new business, and at the end of the year she had revenues of $77,000 and total explicit costs of $30,000. a. What was Emily's accounting profit or loss for the year?

Many retirement funds charge an administrative fee equal to 0.25% on managed assets. Suppose that Alex and Spenser each invest $50,000 in the same year. Alex invests in a no-load fund (that doesn’t charge the 0.25% fee) and earns 5% a year. Spenser uses another retirement fund that charges the 0.25% fee and so only earns 4.75%. After 30 years, how much more will Alex have than Spenser?
