Problem 1: You save $5,000 dollars in year 1. $5,150 dollars in
year 2. If the amounts increase 3% a year through year 20, how much
money will you have at the end of year 20 at 10% interest?
Problem 2: A smart engineer wants to save now and play later. She
wants to retire in 20 years with $1.5 million dollars of play
money. At 10% per year interest, to reach the $1.5 million goal,
starting 1 year from now, she must invest how much money
annually?
Problem 3: You receive a gift of $25,000 dollars and have come up
with three options on how to spend the money. 1) Buy a new car even
though you do not need it. 2) Invest the money in a company stock
option that has an expected value increase at 20% a year. However,
this option is fairly risky. 3) You can put the money a saving
account at 6% year. If you decide to buy the new car, what is the
opportunity cost with the choice? If you invest the money in the
stock, what is the opportunity cost? What is an opportunity
cost?
Problem 4: You have been invited to go Oktoberfest. You buy a
passport for $100 dollars and it is valid for 10 years. The next
day, the trip gets cancelled. Is your passport a suck cost or an
opportunity cost? What is a suck cost?
Problem 5: A new engineer graduate plans to buy a business for
$100,000 dollars at 10% interest per year. The loan payment each
year to pay off the loan in 7 years is what amount?

Erin is a 19-year-old university student in her second year at university. Erin is bright and has always been a high achiever at school, and her parents have been keen to prompt her to follow her dreams and encourage her pursuits. Erin loves cooking for her family, particularly her older brother Josh. In order to achieve the best possible Year 12 score, Erin’s parents decided to move her to a private school for girls that had a good reputation for university acceptance. Erin’s mother took on extra work to pay for the school fees. While Erin was sad to leave her old school and friends, she agreed that this was the best choice for her academically. Things did not go as well as planned, however, and Erin was subjected to distressing bullying from the beginning of Year 12 until she finished the school year. Erin has always been conscious of her health and weight but was targeted because she had ‘fat legs’
and the bullies sent her text messages of ‘fat people’ and memes with derogatory messages about her. Because her parents had made sacrifices for her to attend this school, Erin didn’t want to tell them that she was being bullied, so she kept it to herself. This bullying had a devastating impact on Erin’s self-esteem, and she began dieting. People would comment on how great she looked, so she continued dieting. She felt she had some control over what she ate, and this made her feel better. When her local gym had a special rate for new members, Erin joined. When she wasn’t at the gym, she was studying. Because she was working out so much, and restricting her diet, Erin became seriously constipated. So, she went to her local pharmacy and began buying laxatives. Erin noticed that they helped with her constipation, but they also reduced her weight (Erin would weigh herself daily), so she began taking them all the time. It got to the point where her local pharmacy would not sell them to her anymore, so she began buying them from multiple pharmacies and online. Despite the turmoil at school, Erin did well academically and achieved exceptionally high marks in her final exams. She got her first preference for courses and enrolled in a Bachelor of Dietetics at a well-regarded university. Recently, however, wearing baggy clothing and restricting her food intake has been causing suspicions. Her mother has told her she is too thin, and her brother and father have expressed concern about her –but Erin doesn’t see it this way. When Erin looks in the mirror, she sees the fat girl who was bullied in Year 12. Erin has collapsed at her gym several times, and staff have expressed concern about her weight. Erin worried that as with the pharmacy, she will need to find another gym. At 1.62 cm tall and weighing 41 kg, Erin’s BMI is 15.6.
