Question 1

1. Polly is a Year 9 student. She currently has $3,000 in a savings account that pays 4% annually. She intends to use her current savings plus what she can save over the next 4 years to buy a car. The car will cost $15,000 in 4 years. How much should she save each year if she intends to purchase the car in 4 years? All relevant cash flows will occur at the end of each year and interests are compounded yearly.
2. Ben took up a loan to purchase a farm machine. The terms of his loan require him to make quarterly payments of $3,434 over 7 years. The relevant rate of interest is 7.2% per year, compounded quarterly. For the same amount of loan and interest rate, will Ben pay off the loan sooner if he makes quarterly payments of $3,876 instead? Show all relevant calculations to support your answer.
3. Sharon won a lottery that will make a payment $80,000 every year, starting today, for the next 10 years. If she invests the payments at a rate of 5.00% per year, what is the present value of the cash flows over the 10 year period? Interests for the 10 equal payments will be compounded at the end of each year.

Question 1

1. Derek will retire in 20 years. Upon retirement, he anticipates a yearly cash flow of $80,000 will be needed for 25 years to support his lifestyle (yearly cash flows assumed to occur at the end of each year). To date, he has accumulated $40,000 towards his retirement. How much more will Derek have to invest each year for the next 20 years to have the necessary funds for his retirement? Use a 8% per year discount rate throughout this problem (for discounting or compounding).
2. Josh, a professional tennis player, was offered a contract from a major sponsor recently. existing contract will make a large amount of payment in the first year and smaller amounts thereafter. Taking advice from his agent, Josh decided to ask his team to provide an alternative offer while he also makes his own counter offer based on your advice. Josh needs to finalise his contract today.
