This annual figure from #3 ($16,509.66) is more than the Prof.’s current annual contribution, which makes her feel a little anxious about her future planned retirement. Also, Prof. Business’ annual retirement account contribution is based on a percentage of her salary and will increase as her salary increases. So, let’s re-plan her retirement income. Let’s account for the fact that her and the University’s contributions to Prof. Business’ University retirement plan are based on a certain percentage of her salary and will increase as her salary increases. Based on this formula, her first upcoming end of the year deposit will be $20,200 and let’s assume that her annual deposit and salary will grow at a 2% annual rate over the remaining 7 years (8 total deposits) to Prof. Business’ retirement. These deposits are in addition to the $640,000 she currently has today in the University retirement plan. The Rate of Return is 7.50%. Answer the following based on these assumptions using Excel.
a) How much money will Prof. Business have in her retirement account immediately after her last deposit 8 years from today?
b) What would be the equal annual payment from her 20-year retirement annuity whose first payment occurs exactly 8 years from today?

A firm is negotiating a lease on a new piece of equipment that would cost $1,000,000 if purchased. The equipment falls into the MACRS 3-year class. The depreciation would be 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7% for years 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively. The equipment would be used for 3 years and sold. It is estimated that it would be sold after three years for $300,000. A maintenance contract on the equipment would cost $30,000 per year if purchased. Conversely, the firm could lease the equipment for a lease payment of $290,000 per year. The lease payment would include maintenance. The firm is in the 20% tax bracket, and it could obtain a loan to purchase the equipment at a before-tax rate of 10%. What is the NAL?
