Answer to Problem 59QP
The quarterly salary of the player is $1,597,735.62.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The defensive lineman of the AP Team is in a contract of negotiations. The salary structure of the team is as follows:
- At time zero, the salary is $6,500,000
- At time one, the salary is $5,100,000
- At time two, the salary is $5,600,000
- A time three, the salary is $6,100,000
- At time four, the salary is $7,500,000
- At time five, the salary is $8,200,000
- At time six, the salary is $9,000,000
The payment of the salaries is made in lump sum. The player has requested his agent Person X to negotiate again on the terms. The player needs a bonus of $10 million that must be paid today and the value of the contract rises to $2,000,000. The player also needs an equivalent salary that must be paid every 3 months from the present. The rate of interest is 4.8% that is compounded daily. It is assumed that there are 365 days in a year.
Note: To determine the player’s quarterly salary, it is essential to find the
Formula to calculate the effective annual rate:
Compute the effective annual rate:
Hence, the effective annual rate is 0.4912 or 4.92%.
Formula to calculate the present value:
Note: r denotes the rate of discount and t denotes the number of years. The present value of the current contract is the sum of the cash flows’ present value.
Compute the present value:
Hence, the present value is $41,118,705.53.
As the player wishes to increase the contract value by $2,000,000, then the present value of the contract can be calculated as follows:
Hence, the present value of the new contract is $43,118,705.53.
Note: The player also requested to sign the bonus that is payable at present with the amount of $10 million. To compute the remaining amount, the bonus amount should be subtracted from the new contract’s present value. The remaining amount is the present value of the quarterly payments.
Hence, the remaining amount is $33,118,705.53.
Note: To determine the quarterly payments first, it is essential to understand that the interest rate that is needed is the effective annual rate. The quarterly interest rate can be found by the effective annual rate equation with the daily interest rate. The number of days in a quarter is 91.25 days
Formula to calculate the effective quarterly rate:
Compute the effective annual rate:
Hence, the effective annual rate is 0.01207 or 1.207%.
Now the rate of interest, the
Formula to calculate the present value annuity:
Note: C denotes the payments, r denotes the rate of exchange, and t denotes the period.
Compute the present value annuity:
Hence, the quarterly salary of the player is $1,592,735.62.

- May I ask for an explanation and solution to the question for a better understanding. Thank you!arrow_forward.a. A first-round draft choice goalkeeper has been signed to a three-year, $10 million contract. The details provide for an immediate cash bonus of $1million. The player is $2million in salary at the end of the first year, $3 million the next, and 4 million at the end of the last year. Assuming a 10% discount rate, is this package worth $10 million? How much is it worth? .b Suppose a business takes out a GHC5000, 5-year loan at 9%. If the loan agreement calls for the borrower to pay the interest on the loan balance each year and to reduce the loan balance each year by GHC 1000, what would the loan repayment schedule look like? .c. Example: after carefully going over your budget, you have determined you can afford to pay GHC632 per month toward a new sports car. You call up your local bank and find out that the going rate is 1% per month for 48 months. How much can you borrow?arrow_forwardA rookie quarterback is negotiating his first NFL contract.

You have been hired as an agent representing Johnny Baseball. Johnny doesn’t care about risk, but he discounts the future at a rate of 10% per year. Johnny has an offer of $20 million a year for the four years 0 through 3 from the Red Sox. The Guardians are going to make Johnny an offer where he plays in the minor league for year zero at $1 million and then plays for 3 years at a constant salary. How large does that salary need to be for Johnny to take it over the Red Sox offer? Johnny’s prospects are uncertain. If Johnny were to strike a new 2-year contract after two years of play on the open market, there is a 50% it would be for $20m a year, a 25% change it would be for $30 million a year, and a 25% change it would be for $10m. These are the values to the Guardians and the values he could get on the open market. The Guardians want to offer Johnny a contract that pays a fixed amount per year for years 0 and 1, and then gives the…arrow_forward
