Suppose Poornima is an avid reader and buys only comic books. Poornima deposits $3,000 in a bank account that pays an annual nominal interest rate of 10%. Assume this interest rate is fixed-that is, it won't change over time. At the time of her deposit, a comic book is priced at $15.00. Initially, the purchasing power of Poornima's $3,000 deposit is comic books. For each of the annual inflation rates given in the following table, first determine the new price of a comic book, assuming it rises at the rate of inflation. Then enter the corresponding purchasing power of Poornima's deposit after one year in the first row of the table for each inflation rate. Finally, enter the value for the real interest rate at each of the given inflation rates. Hint: Round your answers in the first row down to the nearest comic book. For example, if you find that the deposit will cover 20.7 comic books, you would round the purchasing power down to 20 comic books under the assumption that Poornima will…
Mary is a corn farmer in Iowa. If she does not irrigate her field, she can produce 120 bushels of corn per acre. If she applies 4 inches of irrigation water, she can produce 140 bushels of corn per acre. The application of 8, 12, and 16 inches of irrigation water can result in 160, 180, and 200 bushels of corn per acre, respectively. Graph the relationship between the amount of water applied and corn yield for Mary. What is the slope?

You plan to retire in 35 years and can invest to earn 6.85 percent. You estimate that you will need $82,000 at the end of each year for an estimated 30 years after retirement, and you expect to earn 4.5 percent during those retirement years. How much do you need to set aside at the end of each year to accumulate the money necessary for your retirement? (Assume year-end cash flows.) I will need this much at retirement _____________and will need to set aside ___________per year (at the end of each year.
Suppose you wish to borrow $800 for four weeks and the amount of interest you must pay is $20 per $100 borrowed. What is the arp at which you are borrowing money
a) Write an expression for 8(t) (aka: force of interest) such that its accumulation function is the same as a 2% rate of simple interest. b) What is 8(8)?
6. You may borrow or lend at a 5% interest rate, which you expect to remain stable forever. Make a choice and explain your answer in each scenario below. a. You may receive a gift of $500 today or a gift of $540 next year. b. You may receive gift of $100 today or a four-year loan of $500 without interest. c. You may receive a $350 rebate on an $8000 car or one year of no-interest financing on the full price of the car. d. You have just won $1 million in the lottery. You may receive $500,000 now or the full million, paid out in 20 annual payments of $50,000. e. Alternatively, you may take $500,000 now or receive $25,000 per year for eternity (a contract that your heirs will inherit).
Suppose that you are considering whether to enroll in a summer computer-training program that costs $3,600. If you take the program, you will have to give up $1,800 of earnings from your summer job. You figure that the program will increase your earnings by $600 per year for each of the next 10 years. Beyond that, it is not expected to affect your earnings. Suppose the interest rate is 10% Use the preceding information to calculate the present value of the wage increase resulting from the training program. Then decide whether the investment is worthwhile, given the present value of the cost of the training program. At this interest rate, the present value of the increase in wages is about the training. Thus, from a strictly monetary viewpoint, you than the present value of the total cost of , which is participate in the training program.
Dr. Smith, a new professor, makes $85,000 his first year. He is guaranteed 7 years of employment at the university. Each year his salary increases at a rate of 8 percent. The interest rate is 5 percent. Show Dr. Smith’s discounted stream of earnings over this seven- year period and use these figures to calculate the present value.
