- (Comprehensive Problem) Suppose that you are in the fall of your senior year and are faced with the choice of either getting a job when you graduate or going to law school. Of course, your choice is not purely financial. However, to make an informed decision you would like to know the financial implications of the two alternatives. Let's assume that your alternatives are as follows: If you take the "get a job" route you expect to start off with a salary of $45,000 per year. There is no way to predict what will happen in the future, your best guess is that your salary will grow at 5 percent per year until you retire in 41 years. As a law student, you will be paying $25,000 per year tuition for each of the 3 years you are in graduate school. However, you can then expect a job with a starting salary of $70,000 per year. Moreover, you expect your salary to grow by 9 percent per year until you retire 36 years later.

- A student is trying to determine if an MBA makes sense for his career. He is considering two options for his life. The first option is to attend a school for his MBA for the next three years. The MBA will cost $36, 557.00 per year. After school is over, he will make $82, 513.00 per year. He expects his salary to grow at 5.00% a year for 32.00 years after the MBA. The second option is to stay in his current job. He currently makes $61,069.00 per year. If he does not get an MBA, he expects his salary to grow at 3.00% for the next 35.00 years. The student can earn 9.00% per year on his investments. For simplicity, let's assume all cash flows are at the end of the period (including MBA tuition). What is the present value of the MBA option?arrow_forwardVictor hernandez Considers a Career Change Victor is somewhat satisfied with his sales career and has always wondered about a career as a teacher in a public school. He would have to take a year off work to go back to college to obtain his teaching certificate, and that would mean giving up his $53,000 salary for a year. Victor expects that he could earn about the same income as a teacher. (a) What would his annual income be after 10 years as a teacher if he received an average 3 percent raise every year? (Hint: Use Appendix A.1.) (b) Victor also could earn $4,000 each year teaching during the summers. What is the accumulated fu- ture value of earning those annual amounts over 10 years assuming a 5 percent raise every year? (Hint: Use Appendix A.3.)arrow_forwardMaria Turner just graduated from college with a degree in accounting. She planned to enroll immediately in the master’s program at her university but has been offered a lucrative job at a well-known company. The job is exactly what Maria hoped to find after obtaining her graduate degree. In anticipation of master’s program classes, Maria already spent $450 to apply for the program. Tuition is $8,000 per year, and the program will take two years to complete. Maria’s expected salary after completing the master’s program is approximately $60,000. If she pursues the master’s degree, Maria would stay in her current home that is near the campus and costs $600 per month in rent. She also would remain at her current job that pays $25,000 per year. Additionally, Maria’s immediate family is nearby. She spends considerable time with family and friends, especially during the holidays. This would not be possible if she accepts the job offer because of the distance from her new location. The job…arrow_forward
