CompU has become a success over the past few years, and Bill and
Melinda Jobs decide it is time to meet with a financial planner to
make certain his personal finances are in order. Bill has the
following questions he needs help in answering regarding his

be willing to invest now to have $8,000 accumulated in 10
years?

year?

will it take them to save the $8,048.45?

interest rate of 8%. What will be his monthly payments on the

annual benefits be assuming the first payment occurs 1 year from
their retirement date?
- How much money must they pay into an account at the beginning
of each of the next 20 years in order to have $10,000 at the end of
the 20th year? Assume that the account pays 10% per
annum.
- If their opportunity cost is 10%, how much should they pay for
an investment promising $750 per year for the first four years and
$450 for the next six?
- Consider an investment that has cash flows of $500 the first
year and $400 for the next 4 years. If their opportunity cost is

bond that pays $100 per year forever?

the next 40 years (the account pays 12%), how much will be in the
account at the end of year forty?
- At the beginning of the 41st year they plan to put
the money from the previous question in a 30 year annuity whose
first payment comes at the end of the 41st year (the
account pays 12%). How much will they receive at the end of the
41st year (i.e. the first annuity payment)?
- Assume it is January 1st and Bill has just
established an IRA (Individual Retirement Account). He will put
$1,000 into the account on December 31st of this year
and at the end of each year for the following 39 years (40 years
total). How much money will Bill have in his account at the
beginning of the 41st year? Assume that the account pays
