Assume current costs are $24,000 per year and are expected to increase by 5% per year and investments earn 7%. A. Assuming no existing assets are dedicated to college, what is the annual savings amount required to fund the children’s education?

Aya and Sakura would like to buy a house and their dream home costs $500,000. Their goal is then to save $50,000 for a down payment and then would take out a mortgage loan for the rest. They plan to put their monthly saved amount in a conservative mutual fund that has a track record of a 4.25% rate of return, compounded quarterly.

Their hope is to be able to buy this home in 7 years. Aya and Sakura have now saved up their down payment to buy a home, but they still need to borrow to cover the rest. For the home they want this will require a mortgage of $450,000 to cover the remaining amount and they’re not sure whether they could afford the monthly loan payments. The bank has offered them a mortgage interest rate of 5.15%, compounded semi-annually. how much would they have to be able to afford to pay each month in order to pay off…
