In many cities, discount clubs are popular. For a fixed annual
fee (paid in advance) one can purchase goods at 90% of their
listed price (in other words, 10% off the list price); otherwise,
one pays the list price. Suppose that the annual fee is $300
and the interest rate on your savings account is 5%. Finally,
assume discount club's list prices are the same as any other
store, and you plan to spend $4000 over the coming year at
this store. (Hint: the interest represents an opportunity cost
of purchasing a membership).

The Fly-by-Night finance company advertises a "bargain 6% plan" for financing the purchase
of automobiles. To the amount of the loan being financed, 6% is added for each year money is
owed. This total is then divided by the number of months over which the payments are to be
made, and the result is the amount of the monthly payments. For example, a woman
purchases a $10,000 automobile under this plan and makes an initial cash payment of $2,500.
She wishes to pay the $7,500 balance in 24 monthly payments: Find the IRR and Effective
Annual Interest rate.

- A Flexible Savings Account (FSA) plan allows you to put money into an account at the beginning of the calendar year that can be used for medical expenses. This amount is not subject to federal tax. As you pay medical expenses during the year, you are reimbursed by the administrator of the FSA until the money is exhausted. From that point on, you must pay your medical expenses out of your own pocket. On the other hand, if you put more money into your FSA than the medical expenses you incur, this extra money is lost to you. Your annual salary is $80,000 and your federal income tax rate is 30%. [1] Assume that your medical expenses in a year are normally distributed with mean $2000 and standard deviation $500. Build an @RISK model in which the output is the amount of money left to you after paying taxes, putting money in an FSA, and paying any extra medical expenses. Experiment with the amount of money put in the FSA, using a RISKSIMTABLE function. [2] Rework part a, but this time assume…arrow_forwardSuppose Neha is a sports fan and buys only baseball caps.
