John Barton is both excited and amazed. Excited because on graduating from college one year ago at age 22, he landed a good job with a crypto currency exchange and he is enjoying the work. His company has good benefits and has just given him a raise so that in his next (2nd) year of employment he will be earning $55,000 per year. He is amazed because even with this raise, he feels that money is just as scarce as it was when he was a student. The paycheck comes and before he knows it, it is gone again. Certainly, he has many more “things” than he did before: a nice new car, an attractive apartment with some real furniture, and a wide screen television. Nonetheless, he is still concerned that he has little in savings to handle emergencies (becoming ill, terminated from his job) or life changing events like getting married. John feels that it is time to “get his finances in order” as his father is always saying. He intends to determine his personal Net Worth and to understand where his…
Rebecca is moving away from New York City for her new job, so she must buy a car rather than rely on public transit. The new car she is considering will cost $ 18,000 to buy, $ 1,500 per year to insure, and $ 500 per year for maintenance after the 3-year warranty expires. She would keep the car for 7 years when it will have a salvage value of $ 7,000. She has found a 2-year-old car that is the same model for $ 13,000. The 3-year warranty is transferrable, so the annual maintenance cost of $500 starts in year 2. Because the car is less valuable, insurance is $300 per year less than for the new car. After 5 years, the vehicle will be 7 years old and will have the same salvage value of $ 7,000.Rebecca is ignoring costs for fuel, oil, tires and registration, because the two vehicles will have the same costs. If her interest rate is 9%, how much cheaper is the used car (difference of EAC of two vehicles)

Marsha Jones has bought a used Mercedes horse transporter for her Connecticut estate. It cost $35,000. The object is to save on horse transporter rentals. Marsha had been renting a transporter every other week for $200 per day plus $1.00 per mile. Most of the trips are 80 or 100 miles in total. Marsha usually gives the driver, Joe Laminitis, a $40 tip. With the new transporter she will only have to pay for diesel fuel and maintenance, at about $0.45 per mile. Insurance costs for Marsha’s transporter are $1,200 per year. The transporter will probably be worth $15,000 (in real terms) after eight years, when Marsha’s horse Spike, will be ready to retire. Assume a nominal discount rate of 9% and a 3% forecasted inflation rate. Marsha’s transporter is a personal outlay, not a business or financial investment, so taxes can be ignored. Calculate the NPV of the investment.

Use RIA Checkpoint to answer the following questions. 5. Frank and Farrah, who are twins, ask you to research an issue for them. Both are starting new jobs as staff accountants. Farrah decides to start saving $400 per month and intends to keep saving $400 per month for 20 years. Frank, on the other hand, desperately wants a new sports car and thus decides he is going to wait five years before starting his $400 per month savings plan. Frank figures $400 per month for five years is only a difference of $24,000 so it will not make much of a difference if he waits five years before starting to save. What difference will delaying his savings really make? Assuming a 6 percent rate of return, using the Savings tools in Checkpoint, what is the difference in the future value of Farrah’s and Frank’s savings plans? (Assume the starting amount = zero). a. $187,065. b. $89,574. c. $107,253. d. $66,935. e. None of the above. 6. Edward received two gifts in 2023. A car valued at $30,000 from his…
