You have just received a windfall from an investment you made in a friend’s business. You will receive end-of-year cash flows of $14,050, $3,250 and $16,480 for years 1 to 3, respectively.

Suppose you have the opportunity to invest in a fund that pays 12% interest compounded annually. Today, you invest $10,000 into this fund. Three years later (EOY 3), you borrow $5000 from a local bank at 10% annual interest and invest it in a fund. Two years later (EOY 5) you withdraw enough money from the fund to repay the bank load and all interest due on it. Three years from this withdrawal (EOY 8) you start taking $2,000 per year out of the fund. After five withdrawals of $2,000, you have withdrawn your original $10,000. The amount remaining in the fund is earned interest. How much remains?
Assume that you just won the state lottery. Your prize can be taken either in the form of 100,000 at the end of each of the next 15 years or as a single amount of $1,000,000 paid immediately.
