A new American graduate is contemplating buying a Japanese, German, or an American car. No matter the type of car, he plans to buy a new one at the end of 8 years.
Japanese car will cost $30,000 and have a fuel usage of 23 Miles Per gallon (mpg) for the first 2 years, and will decrease by 3% per year thereafter. Repair cost will start at $700 per year, and increase by 3% per year. At the end of year 8, the car can be sold for $5000. Insurance cost will be $700 for the first year, increasing by 2% per year thereafter.
A German car will cost $45,000 and have fuel usage of 21mpg for the first 5 years, and decrease by 1% thereafter to year 8. Repair cost will start at $1000 in year 1 and increase by 4% per year. It will have a salvage value of $7000 at the end of year 8. Insurance cost will be $850 the first year, increasing by 2% per year thereafter.
The American car will cost $35,000 and have fuel usage of 20mpg for the first 3 years, and will decrease by 3% per year thereafter. Repair cost will be $800 in year 1, increasing by 4% per year thereafter. Being an American, the graduate will price the pride of owning an American car at $0.4 for every 20 miles driven, increasing by 2% per year. Insurance cost will be $800 per year increasing by 2.2% per year. The car can be sold for $5500 at the end of year 8.
If the graduate anticipates driving 150000 miles by the end of year 8 and the average interest rate is expected to remain at 5% per year, which car is economically affordable based on present worth analysis? Assume fuel cost will be $3 per gallon in year 1 and increase by an average of 2% per year. Show all workings

Currency appreciation: Consider price of beer. Let's pretend that last year a bottle of beer used to cost one dollar, but this year it costs two dollars per bottle.

1)         Currency appreciation: Consider price of beer. Let's pretend that last year a bottle of beer used to cost one dollar, but this year it costs two dollars per bottle.


                        a)         This means beer costs twice as much as last year; or beer price has gone up by ___________%

                        b)         One dollar buys half as much beer as last year; or dollar has fallen in value by ___________%

            Note: The same idea works for relative values of currencies, i.e. appreciation of Yen against the dollar or depreciation of dollar against the Yen.


2)         Do problem 1 using different data. Last year a bottle of beer used to cost $ 0.50, but this year it costs $ 0.60.

              a) Beer price has gone up by    _________%

              b) Dollar has fallen in value by       _________%


3)         Find PVfor following cash flows using a discount rate of 10% per period, all periods are of the same (but unspecified) duration.

                     0_____1_____2_____3_____4

                            $10      $10      $10      $110

              a) use calculator, make sure that you know the procedure.

              N=____, PMT=_____, i=____, FV=_____,                                                              

              PV=_____

              b) use spreadsheet, make sure that you know the procedure

                     PV=________

              c) use intuition:    PV=_____because ____________________

                     Hint: Compare coupon rate and discount rate.

              d) if we use a higher discount rate the PV will be                                                        higher/lower
