a)

To determine

Calculating the rate of return for each case is straightforward in Excel using the IRR function.  In particular, list Years from 0 to 49.  Then, list the salary for college in the next column.  Next, list the cost of college or the salary from college for each year.  Finally, create a fourth column that is the difference in value (college minus no college).  Assuming the difference values are in cells E4 through E53, the Excel command is =IRR (E4:E53).

The rate of discount, where each year of college costs $15,000, each year of post college work pays $60,000 and each year of non-college work pays $40,000.

b)

To determine

The rate of discount, where each year of college costs $15,000, each year of post college work pays $80,000 and each year of non-college work pays $35,000.

To determine

The rate of discount, where each year of college costs $35,000, each year of post college work pays $60,000 and each year of non-college work pays $35,000.
