- a. I’ll take Manhattan? Manhattan’s native tribe sold Manhattan Island to Peter Minuit for $24 in 1626. Now, 393 years later in 2019, Bill Gates wants to buy the island from the “current natives.” How much would Bill have to pay for Manhattan if the “current natives” want a 6 percent annual return on the original $24 purchase price?
- b. (Nonannual compounding using a calculator) How much would Bill have to pay for Manhattan if the “current natives” want an APR of 6 percent compounded monthly on the original $24 purchase price?
- c. Microsoft Seattle? Bill Gates decides to pass on Manhattan and instead plans to buy the city of Seattle, Washington, for $100 billion in 10 years. How much would Mr. Gates have to invest today at 10 percent compounded annually in order to purchase Seattle in 10 years?
- d. Now assume Bill Gates wants to invest only about half his net worth today, $41 billion, in order to buy Seattle for $100 billion in 10 years. What annual
rate of return would he have to earn in order to complete his purchase in 10 years? - e. Margaritaville? Instead of buying and running large cities, Bill Gates is considering quitting the rigors of the business world and retiring to work on his golf game. To fund his retirement, Bill Gates would invest his $82 billion fortune in safe investments with an expected annual rate of return of 7 percent. Also, Mr. Gates wants to make 40 equal annual withdrawals from this retirement fund beginning a year from today. How much can Mr. Gates’s annual withdrawal be in this case?

In order to finance an increase in unemployment benefits, the French government needs to raise €10 billion in additional tax revenue. President Macron is considering two policies to achieve this goal: a new tax on gasoline or a new tax on bequests (money left to your children or other heirs). Which of these two policies would be the most economically efficient? Why? Explain why the policy you recommended in a.) might be politically unpopular. Dismayed by your assessment, President Macron proposes a third alternative: a broad decrease in current taxes.

You decide to buy a ticket ......... and you WIN!!! Unfortunately, you do not get that amount right away. Instead, this is the future value of an annuity. Let us examine some choices you have regarding your big win. a) You could choose to collect your winnings today, in the present day. The lottery people could invest this present value and earn 2.7% interest, compounded annually, and have the $2 million in 25 years. How much would they give you today? b) The interest rate in part (a) is very conservative. You have a “friend” who advises you to take the money today and invest it with him, at 6.6% compounded quarterly, for those 25 years. How much would you have in 25 years if you did this? (What is the future value of the amount you computed in part (a)?) c) Otherwise, you could choose to take the annuity.

Assume that, if the British economy booms in the future, the land will be worth £19 and one British pound will be worth $1.29. If the British economy slows down, on the other hand, the land will be worth less, i.e., £23 million, but the pound will be stronger, i.e., $1.41/£.
