When the university’s stadium was completed in 1965, the total cost was $1.2 million. At that time a wealthy alumnus gifted the university with $1.2 million to be used for a future replacement. University administrators are now considering building the new facility in the year 2020. Assume that: • Inflation is 6.0% per year from 1965 to 2020. • In 1965 the university invested the gift at a market interest rate of 8.0% per year. (a) Define i, i′, f, and A$. (b) How many actual dollars in the year 2020 will the gift be worth? (c) How much would the actual dollars in 2020 be in terms of 1965 purchasing power? (d) How much better or worse should the new stadium be?
