A Masters of Accountancy degree at Central University costs $97,688 assume additional cost $57,312 for the fifth year of education beyond the bachelor’s degree. Assume that all tuition is paid at the beginning of the year. A student considering the investment must evaluate the present value of cash flows from possessing a graduate degree versus holding only the undergraduate degree. Assume that the average student with an undergraduate degree is expected to earn an annual salary of $50,000 per year (assumed to be paid at the end of the year) for 10 years. Assume, also, that the average student with a graduate Masters of Accountancy degree is expected to earn an annual salary of $66,000 per year for nine years after graduation. Use 10% as your rate of return.
