Time value As part of your financial planning, you wish to purchase a new car exactly 5 years from today. The car you wish to purchase costs $14,000 today, and your research indicates that its price will increase by 2% to 4% per year over the next 5 years. a. Estimate the price of the car at the end of 5 years if inflation is (1) 2% per year and (2) 4% per year. b. How much more expensive will the car be if the rate of inflation is 4% rather than 2%?

In planning for your retirement, you would like to withdraw $50,000 per year for 17 years. The first withdrawal will occur 20 years from today. Click here to access the TVM Factor Table Calculator Part a Your answer is incorrect. What amount must you invest today if your return is 10% per year? $ Round entry to the nearest dollar. Tolerance is 14. II
You’d like to buy a small ranch when you retire in 38 years. You estimate that in 38 years you’ll need $9 million to do so. If your savings can earn 1.0% per month, how much will you need to save each month (for 38 years), starting next month, in order to reach your goal? Round to the nearest cent. [Hint: We are trying to solve for the cash flows of an annuity. The formula we need to use is dictated by whether we are given the PV or the FV of that annuity. Also, we are given the monthly interest rate, which is i/m in our formulas.]
Suppose you have opened an MRI clinic and you are able to purchase a new MRI machine for $1 million. You plan to see 2000 patients per year, and you have determined that your MRI machine at that rate of use should last 10 years. Given a 5% rate of interest, use an annuity calculation to estimate the annual cost of an MRI per patient. Suppose that you could use the machine for 3 years and then sell it for $500,000. What would your annual cost per patient be in that case? Suppose you know that inflation is going to be 10% per year and that you will use the machine for 3 years and then be able to sell it for $800,000 (note that the $800,000 is measured in units of dollars 3 years from now). What then is your annual cost per patient and is your answer in dollars today or dollars three years from now?
Can someone explain how to do this pls?
Use the savings plan formula to answer the following question. You put $300 per month in an investment plan that pays an APR of 4.5%. How much money will you have after 28 years? Compare this amount to the total deposits made over the time period. After 28 years the investment plan will contain S (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest cent as needed.) The total deposits made over the time period is $ (Type a whole number.)
You want to buy a house in 4 years. The type of house you want to purchase currently costs $ 160,000 but housing costs are rising 4% per year. The down payment you will need is 10% of the cost of the home (which will be the cost four years from now). You have $ 5,000 now (and only now, not an extra $5,000 each year) that you will (today) put into a savings account paying 2% APR monthly and you will use this to HELP cover the down payment. (You must come up with the rest of the down payment somehow. You can only borrow 90% of the final cost of the house.) You expect a 7% APR compounded monthly, with monthly payments for a 30 year loan. The amount the house would be expected to cost in 4 years is: Question 6 options: $188,000 $160,000 $187,177 $179,978 $200,000
a. Renting a machine will need monthly payments of $6,000 for the next 5 years (i.e., at t = 1, 2, …, 60). However,if we choose to buy the machine today,which is (t = 0) will cost $320,000. Assume the machine's value is zero after 5 years. It is possible to borrow and lend at a semi-annually compounded interest rate of 6% (APR). Would it be better to buy or to lease? Explain. b.We are currently at year 0. It is worthy to note that there is a perpetuity that pays $250 at the end of each odd year and $150 at the end of each even year. The term structure is flat at 10% per year. Evaluate the present value of this perpetuity. c.Assume the CAPM is valid.The return on asset ABC is perfectly correlated with the return on market portfolio. Your friend makes the following statetment: a portfolio that had a dollar invested and at the same time,shorting one dollar of the market portfolio will have no systematic risk. Comment on this and whether it is feasible.
The best way to break the 100,000 mile mark for your car is to schedule regular oil and filter changes. Annual savings are estimated to be $7,000 over the 12 year life of your car. If interest is 12% per year compounded continuously, what is the future equivalent value of your savings?

The final answer is already provided. You plan to deposit P100 into a savings account at the end of each month for the next 5 years. a.)At 3% compounded monthly, how much will you have accumulated at the end of 5 years? b.)How much difference would it make if the payments were made at the beginning of the month rather than at the end? Answer: a.) F = P6,464.67, b.) F value difference = P196.63
A news article forecasts that it will cost around $36,871 to purchase a Lexus NX300 in 2024. How much will you have to invest today at 6.96% per year to have the $36,871 available for the purchase of the car four years from today?
You want to set up a Boba Tea house and run for 4 years. For your financial analysis purpose, you estimate an initial investment and an annual free cash flow. Your initial investment will be 0. Your annual free cash flow from operation will be $30,000 (at the end of each year) for the next 4 years. What is a value of the Boba Tea house (present value calculation)? Here we assume a discount rate is 8%.
