Michael Scott is 30 years old at the beginning of the year and is thinking about getting an MBA. Michael is currently making $40,000 per year and expects the same for the remainder of his working years (until age 65). If he goes to a business school, he gives up his income for two years and, in addition, pays $20,000 per year for tuition. In return, Michael expects an increase in his salary after his MBA is completed. Suppose that the post-graduation salary increases at a 5% per year and that the discount rate is 8%. What is minimum expected starting salary after graduation that makes going to a business school a positive-NPV investment for Michael? For simplicity, assume that all cash flows occur at the end of each year. This is about time value of money, need excel for formula and solution, u can use shortcut in excel if applicable like PMT NPER and etc.
