Don Harrison's current salary is $60,000 per year, and he is planning to retire 25 years from now. He anticipates that his annual salary will increase by $3,000 each year (to $60,000 the first year, $63,000 the second year, $66,000 the third year, and so forth), and he plans to deposit 5% of his yearly salary into a retirement fund that earns 7% interest compounded daily. What will be the amount accumu- lated at the time of Don's retirement?

10. Barbara decides to buy a house for $450,000. She makes a down payment of $40,000 at the time of purchase, and the balance is financed at 6% compounded monthly, with monthly payments made over a) 10 years b) 20 years and c) 30 years. Find her monthly payment in each case, if the first payment is due one month from today.
Find the present value of $750 to be paid four years from now when the prevailing interest rate is 10 percent, if interest is compounded annually.
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?

Suppose you think if you were to retire right now, you would have needed $50,000 each year to supplement your social security and maintain your desired lifestyle. But because there is on average 3% annual inflation, when you retire 30 years from now, you need more than $50,000 per year to maintain the lifestyle you like. How much will be equivalent to $50,000 at retirement time when adjusted for inflation? What will be the face value of the bond that yields the equivalent of $50,000, found in #4 of Part B in coupon payment? How much annual payment in the retirement account is needed to accumulate the amount needed to purchase the bond when retiring? What is the purchase power of the amount that will be received by your inheritors, measured in the current value of $ at the time of opening the retirement account? (Hint: First calculate what the future value will be in 30 years, which is equivalent to $50,000 now and then solve the rest of the problem).
You expect to receive the following: $3,527 $18,541 $4,500 $1,011 $8,583 at the end of each year for 12 years today at the end of year 6 at the end of each year forever at the end of 15 years What is the uniform annual payment for the first 12 years equivalent to the above payment scheme, if the interest rate is 8%?

Many retirement funds charge an administrative fee equal to 0.25% on managed assets. Suppose that Alexx and Spenser each invest $4,000 in the same stock this year. Alexx invests directly and earns 4% a year. Spenser uses a retirement fund and eams 3.75%. If Alexx and Spenser leave their investments in place for 30 years, with annual compounding of the interest, how much more will Alexx have than Spenser at the end of the 30-year period? Alexx will have more than Spenser after 30 years. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)

4. Jenna has just entered collage and has decided to quit smoking. She wants to regain her health and save money in the process. She smokes two packs a day, which translates into roughly $30 per week. Suppose she makes weekly deposits of this money into a bank account that pays annual interest of 10%, compounded continuously. What will be balance of Jenna's account when she retires in 47 years? (Hint: If an initial amount of S. dollars is deposited in a bank that pays an annual interest of r, compounded continuously, then the future value, s(t), of the account satisfy the initial-value problem ds/dt=rs, S(0)-S,. Moreover, if deposits amounting to d dollars per year (made uniformly throughout the year) are made into the above account, then the future value of this new account, called an annuity, will satisfy dS/dt=rs+d, S(0)=S..
Suppose a man purchases a luxury car with an initial down payment of $20,000 and then makes quarterly payments: $2000 at the each of each quarter for six years and $3500 at the end of each quarter for eight more years. Given an interest rate of 6% compounded quarterly, find the present value of the payments and the list price of the luxury car.
Mr. Jones is scheduled to retire on his 65th birthday. He was born January 1, 1946 and was hired by his present employer on January 1, 2001, with a starting salary of $50,000 per year. His employer makes contributions to a pension fund on the first day of January, April, July and October until he retires. Each contribution is 1% of his annual salary. The pension fund earns a nominal annual rate of interest of 8% compounded quarterly. Smith's salary is scheduled to increase by 8% every January 1 starting in 2002. The final employer contribution is on October 1, 2010. Find the value of Smith's pension fund on his 65th birthday.
