On Oct 1, 2020, Ned started a new business customizing TV sets. He visited customers’ homes and installed colourful lighting that enhanced TV viewing. Soon, his friend Robert had the idea of prebuilding TV sets which customers could pick up. Since he was busy with installations, Ned decided he would pay Robert to build the TVs and sell them out of his garage. Robert earned $100 per TV he customized and sold. He earned $75 for each prebuilt TV which Ned delivered and installed in a customer’s home. Ned buys TVs in bulk at an average price of $300 per unit. He pays $250 for a big box of LED lights, which are enough to complete 10 TVs. Ned estimates that his work vehicle costs total $300 a month. In 2020, Ned completed 32 in-home installations, for which he charged $250 each. He also installed 11 prebuilt TVs, which he charged $700 each for. Robert sold 29 prebuilt TVs for $500 apiece. Ned is thinking of making a couple of changes for 2021, when he is expecting the sales numbers from 2020…

Both are starting new jobs as staff accountants. Farrah decides to start saving $400 per month and intends to keep saving $400 per month for 20 years. Frank, on the other hand, desperately wants a new sports car and thus decides he is going to wait five years before starting his $400 per month savings plan. Frank figures $400 per month for five years is only a difference of $24,000 so it will not make much of a difference if he waits five years before starting to save. What difference will delaying his savings really make? Assuming a 6 percent rate of return, using the Savings tools in Checkpoint, what is the difference in the future value of Farrah’s and Frank’s savings plans?
