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).

If you borrow money against your future income you will have and additional $400 to spend in year 1, and If you lend all of your current income you will have and additional $280 to spend in year 2. In both years you consume only food which costs $1 per kilogram in each year. What is the interest rate that you borrow and lend at? R= F2 where F is the amount of food consumed this F1 Let your MRS for food in year 1 with food in year 2 be given by the formula year and Fo is the amount of food consumed next year. Calculate your consumption bundie: F1 = F2 = %3! Suppose the interest rate at which you can borrow and lend changes to 40%. Calculate your new consumption bundle: %3D Which interest rate is preferred? O The initial interest rate found in part 1 The new interest rate, 40%
The value of land in Manhattan was around $150 billion in 2008. Imagine that it is 1626 and you are the economic advisor to the Dutch when they are considering whether to buy Manhattan from the Manhasset Indians. Further,assume that the relevant interest rate for calculating the present value is 4%per year. Would you advice the Dutch that a purchase price of $24 is a good deal or not? How would your answer change if the interest rate were 6%? And 8%? (Hint: for each interest rate,calculate the present value in 1626 of the land value as of 2008. Then compare that with the purchase price in 1626. For example, simplify by assuming that the owners collect no rents on the land. As an advanced further question,assume that the rent equals 2% of the value of the land each year.)
