1) A young graduate is planning on saving $645.00 each quarter for four years in an investment account paying 13.00% interest that is compounded quarterly. His first deposit will be made at the end of the next quarter, so this is a regular annuity. In 4 years, he also plans on being able to afford a 60-month car loan with $372.00 monthly payments at a 11.16% APR interest rate. Given the graduate’s plans, how expensive of a “dream car” will he expect to be able to purchase in four years?
2) An entrepreneur invests $51,323.00 into a start-up business today. He expects the business will generate $61,497.00 per year for 15.00 years, and then it will generate $139,660.00 per year for the following 15.00 years. Suppose he wants a 7.00% annual return to run the business.
What is the value of this business today if his forecasts are accurate? (HINT: Discount all cash flows to today and subtract start-up investment.)
