After graduating from college, you landed a $75,000 job and were happy with it until your friends started going back to school. Now the MBA is on your mind as well. The cost of a good MBA program is $40,000 a year and such programs require that your are a full-time student. It will take you two years to graduate and you will have to leave your job, while attending school. You expect that the starting salary for an MBA professional will be $120,000 by the time you graduate and will increase by 2 percent every year. If you stay at your current job, your salary will be $77,500 at age 25 and will increase by 1% until you retire. Your opportunity cost of capital is 12%. Is this a good decision, if you start your MBA program when you are 25 and retire when you turn 55 (assume the same retirement age for both options.)

Jill starts to save money for her tuition payments needed for a reputed MBA program she wishes to begin in 5 years. Beginning today she will deposit $5000 each year into a MBA tuition account. The last payment will be made 5 years from today (i.e., she will make 6 equal annual deposits). Starting three months after making her final deposit, she will withdraw quarterly to pay tuition for each of the following 5 quarters (i.e. she will make 5 withdrawals in all). Assume that the MBA tuition account earns 1% quarterly during the period she makes withdrawals. The quarterly tuition she is committed to paying towards her MBA is closest to:

1) $6,766 2) $6,545 3) $6,610 4) $7,036 5) $6,833
