Johnny and June would like to begin saving for their children's college education. They have four kids, ages 1, 5, 11, and 14. Each child will begin college at 18 and attend a private university for four years. Tuition is currently $11,000 per year and is increasing at 5% per year. They can earn an after - tax rate of return of 9%. How much must they save at the end of each year if they would like to make the last payment at the beginning of their youngest child's last year of college?
A wealthy graduate of a local university wants to establish a scholarship to cover the full cost of one student each year in perpetuity at her university. To adequately prepare for the administration of the scholarship, the university will begin awarding it starting in three years. The estimated full cost of one student this year is $32,000 and is expected to stay constant in real terms in the future. If the scholarship is invested to earn an annual real return of 10 percent, how much must the donor contribute today to fully fund the scholarship?

The yield to maturity of a $1,000 bond with a 7.4% coupon rate, semiannual coupons, and two years to maturity is 7.8% APR, compounded semiannually. What is its price? The price of the bond is $ (Round to the nearest cent.)
Imagine you are a philanthropist who would like to donate to a charity that provides shelter and assistance to homeless individuals. You would like to donate enough money to the charity to ensure that they can provide shelter for 12 homeless individuals every year in perpetuity. The cost of providing shelter per individual is $60 per day. If your investment fund pays a return of 2% per year, how much do you need to donate to the charity now so that they can provide shelter for 1200 individuals every day in perpetuity? Enter your answer to the nearest cent (two decimal places)

A father is now planning a savings program to put his daughter through college. She is 13, plans to enroll at the university in 5 years, and she should graduate 4 years later. Currently, the annual cost (for everything - food, clothing, tuition, books, transportation, and so forth) is $15,000, but these costs are expected to increase by 6% annually. The college requires total payment at the start of the year. She now has $9,000 in a college savings account that pays 8% annually. Her father will make six equal annual deposits into her account; the first deposit today and sixth on the day she starts college. How large must each of the six payments be? (Hint: Calculate the cost (inflated at 6%) for each year of college and find the total present value of those costs, discounted at 8%, as of the day she enters college. Then find the compounded value of her initial $9,000 on that same day. The difference between the PV of costs and the amount that would be in the savings account must be…
The Jeffersons have asked you what would be needed to fund the children’s future college costs. Assume each child will begin college at age 18 and graduate in four years. 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? The Jeffersons’ goal is to have an amount at the beginning of the freshman year for each child that is sufficient to fund a serial payment covering the $24,000 of current costs of college adjusted for inflation for each of the four years of college. Please include your calculator keystroke inputs [PV, I/YR, N, FV, and PMT (if needed)] for each step of this calculation. Also include whether any PMTs are in the end mode or the begin mode. B. What would you say to the Jeffersons about their education funding situation? Write a script of a single paragraph as if you…
Jeremiah Wood wants to set up a fund to pay for his daughter's education. In order to pay her expenses, he will need $22,000 in four years, $23,400 in five years, $24,600 in six years, and $26,100 in seven years. If he can put money into a fund that pays 5 percent interest, what lump-sum payment must Jeremiah place in the fund today to meet his college funding goals? Round the answer to the nearest cent. Round PV-factor to three decimal places.
Justin and Kennedy are saving for their daughter Aliyah's college education. Aliyah just turned 10 (at t = 0), and she will be entering college 8 years from now (at t = 8). College tuition and expenses at State U. are currently $15,000 a year, but they are expected to increase at a rate of 2.5% a year. Aliyah should graduate in 4 years--if she takes longer or wants to go to graduate school, she will be on her own. Tuition and other costs will be due at the beginning of each school year (at t = 8, 9, 10, and 11). So far, Justin and Kennedy have accumulated $10,000 in their college savings account (at t = 0). Their long-run financial plan is to add an additional $5,500 in each of the next 4 years (at t = 1, 2, 3, and 4). Then they plan to make 3 equal annual contributions in each of the following years, t = 5, 6, and 7. They expect their investment account to earn 8%. How large must the annual payments at t = 5, 6, and 7 be to cover Aliyah's anticipated college costs? a. $5,960.00 b.…

Jamie Lee and Ross agree that by accomplishing their short goals, they can budget $5,000 a year towards their long-term investment goals.

A professor has two daughters that he hopes will one day go to college. Currently, in-state students at the local University pay about $20,295.00 per year (all expenses included). Tuition will increase by 4.00% per year going forward. The professor's oldest daughter, Sam, will start college in 16 years, while his youngest daughter, Ellie, will begin in 18 years. The professor is saving for their college by putting money in a mutual fund that pays about 9.00% per year. Tuition payments are at the beginning of the year and college will take 4 years for each girl. (Sam's first tuition payment will be in exactly 16 years) The professor has no illusion that the state lottery funded scholarship will still be around for his girls, so how much does he need to deposit each year in this mutual fund to successfully put each daughter through college. (ASSUME that the money stays invested during college and the professor will make his last deposit in the account when Sam, the OLDEST daughter,…
