“My husband is 53, and I am 13 years younger. During our 20-year marriage, I have been in and out of the workforce, raising children, and getting my education. Now, I plan to return to full-time employment. I am essentially just getting my career under way as my husband approaches the completion of his. None of the retirement seminars address the issue that not all husbands and wives are the same age, nor do they retire at the same time.” What unique problems do couples with a wide age gap face as they plan for retirement? What are some solutions to the situation? What should be the investment strategy?

Suppose you purchase one share of the stock of Red Devil Corporation at the beginning of year 1 for $44.75. At the end of year 1, you receive a dividend of $2 and buy one more share for $48.75. At the end of year 2, you receive total dividends of $4 (i.e., $2 for each share), and sell the shares for $56.75 each. What is the time-weighted return on your investment? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Do not round intermediate calculations.)

A drill press is purchased for $12,000. It is anticipated that its market value at the end of any year will be 18% less than its market value at the end of that year. In other words, its market value is reduced by 18% each year. The repair costs are covered by the warranty in Year 1. However, the repair cost in Year 2 is $500 and increases by $500 each year. This machining company has an MARR of 15%. State here on Blackboard the minimum EUAC (to the closest penny) of this drill press and its economic life (in years).

New-Project Analysis

The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price is $1,060,000, and it would cost another $18,000 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class (the applicable MACRS depreciation rates are 33.33%, 44.45%, 14.81%, and 7.41%), and it would be sold after 3 years for $535,000. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $13,500. The sprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $491,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell's marginal tax rate is 40%.

2. Suppose there are two bonds for sale; Bond ART with 7-years to maturity, paying a semi-annual interest payment of $57.75, and available for purchase at $1,017.63; and then a second bond, Bond BMW, for sale at $989.54, maturing in 8-years, and paying $63.65 on a semi-annual basis.

• YTM of ART = .1118 or 11.18%
• YTM of BMW = .1294 or 12.94%
• Select BMW

Rachel purchased a car for $18,500 three years ago using a 4-year loan with an interest rate of 9.0 percent. She has decided that she would sell the car now, if she could get a price that would pay off the balance of her loan.
