A prospective MBA student earns $60,000 per year in her current job and expects that amount to increase by 11% per year. She is considering leaving her job to attend business school for two years at a cost of $45,000 per year. She has been told that her starting salary after business school is likely to be $75,000 and that amount will increase by 18% per year. Consider a time horizon of 10 years, use a discount rate of 12%, and ignore all considerations not explicitly mentioned here. Assume all cash flows occur at the start of each year (i.e., immediate, one year from now, two years from now,..., nine years from now). Also assume that the choice can be implemented immediately so that for the MBA alternative the current year is the first year of business school. What is the net present value of the more attractive choice?

John starts his career at 21 years old and expects to retire 44 years later at the age of 65. His first annual salary is $72,000 that will increase at 1.5% per year until he finishes his part-time MBA at 28 years old. With his MBA, John expects salary to increase at 3% per year until retirement. At the end of each year, he deposits 10% of his annual salary into a retirement saving plan that pays 6% interest per year compounded monthly. On the first day of his retirement, John converts his whole retirement saving plan into a registered retirement income fund (RRIF) that earns 8% interest per year compounded quarterly. The RRIF will pay John $Y per quarter, the first payment being paid on the day he buys the RRIF, for 25 years. Find Y.  (Show your work without using MS Excel)

On December 31, 2018, Isiah Company, a financing institution lent P4,000,000 to Psalms Corp. due 3 years after. The loan is supported by an 8% note receivable. Transaction costs incurred to originate the loan amounted to P248,000. P374,000 was chargeable to Psalms as origination fees. Interests on the loan are collectible at the end of each year. The yield rate on the loan is 9.25%.

Isiah was able to collect interest as it became due at the end of 2019. During 2020, however, due to Psalms Corporation’s business deterioration and due to political instability and faltering global economy, the company was not able to collect amounts due at the end 2020. After reviewing all available evidence at December 31, 2020, Isiah Company determined that it was probable that Psalms would pay back only P3,400,000 collectible as follows:

December 31, 2022

1,400,000

December 31, 2023

1,000,000
