Suppose you are a corn farmer in your home state. You have to decide between two projects. One project is to purchase new equipment for your farm that will help boost your profits for the next 10 years. You also find out that you can purchase a large banana farm in Brazil for the same price as the equipment, and at the current market price for bananas you will make a lot more profit than you would from purchasing new corn farming equipment.

After asking around, you find out that the standard discount rate for evaluating the NPV of the farming project is 6%. Most farmers in your home state seem to use this rate successfully. However, you don’t know any other banana farmers and you don’t know too much about farming in Brazil, so you have to make a guess on an appropriate discount rate for the Brazilian banana farm. Based on the concepts from the background readings, would you say the Brazilian banana farm will need a lower or higher discount rate? A lot larger or smaller, or only

Use what you have learned about the time value of money to analyze each of the following decisions:

Decision #1: Which set of Cash Flows is worth more now? Assume that your grandmother wants to give you generous gift. She wants you to choose which one of the following sets of cash flows you would like to receive: Option A: Receive a one-time gift of $10,000 today. Option B: Receive a $1600 gift each year for the next 10 years. The first $1600 would be received 1 year from today. Option C: Receive a one-time gift of $20,000 10 years from today. Compute the Present Value of each of these options if you expect the interest rate to be 3% annually for the next 10 years. Which of these options does financial theory suggest you should choose?

1. Option A would be worth $__________ today.

2. Option B would be worth $__________ today.

3. Option C would be worth $__________ today.

4. Financial theory supports choosing Option _______ Compute the Present Value of each of these options if you expect the interest rate to be 7% annually for the next 10 years. Which of these options does financial theory suggest you should choose?

5. Option A would be worth $__________ today. 6

. Option B would be worth $__________ today.

7. Option C would be worth $__________ today.

8. Financial theory supports choosing Option _______ Compute the Present Value of each of these options if you expect to be able to earn 10% annually for the next 10 years. Which of these options does financial theory suggest you should choose?

9. Option A would be worth $__________ today.

10. Option B would be worth $__________ today. 1

1. Option C would be worth $__________ today.

12. Financial theory supports choosing Option _______

Decision #2: Planning for Retirement Tom and Tricia are 22, newly married, and ready to embark on the journey of life. They both plan to retire 45 years from today. Because their budget seems tight right now, they had been thinking that they would wait at least 10 years and then start investing $2400 per year to prepare for retirement. Tricia just told Tom, though, that she had heard that they would actually have more money the day they retire if they put $2400 per year away for the next 10 years—and then simply let that money sit for the next 35 years without any additional payments—than they would have if they waited 10 years to start investing for retirement and then made yearly payments for 35 years (as they originally planned to do). Help Tom and Tricia make an informed decision. Assume that all payments are made at the end of a year, and that the rate of return on all yearly investments will be 9% annually. (Please do NOT ROUND when entering “Rates” for any of the questions below)

a) How much money will Tom and Tricia have in 45 years if they do nothing for the next 10 years, then put $2400 per year away for the remaining 35 years?

b) How much money will Tom and Tricia have in 10 years if they put $2400 per year away for the next 10 years?

c) How much will the amount you just computed grow to if it remains invested for the remaining 35-years, but without any additional yearly deposits being made?

d) How much money will Tom and Tricia have in 45 years if they put $2400 per year away for each of the next 45 years?

e) How much money will Tom and Tricia have in 45 years if they put away $200 per MONTH at the end of each month for the next 45 years? (Remember to adjust the 9% annual rate to a Rate per month!) (Round this rate per month to 5 places past the decimal.) example of rounding: .062134 = .06213 or 6.213%

f) If Tom and Tricia wait 25 years (after the kids are raised!) before they put anything away for retirement, how much will they have to put away at the end of each year for 20 years in order to have $1,200,000 saved up on the first day of their retirement 45 years from today?
