  • Title: Compound Interest, Savings Annuities, and Mortgage Payments

    Question 1
    Compound Interest and Savings Annuities
    Use the information in the chart below on the line that corresponds to your assigned number, to answer the following questions.  Be sure to show all the steps you took to reach your answers.
    You open a savings account that pays compound interest.
    Find the total amount (a/k/a future value) in the compound interest account after five years, assuming no withdrawals are made.  
    How much of this total amount is interest?
    Instead of a compound interest savings account, you set up a savings annuity at the same rate as the compound saving account.
    How much will be in the account after five years.
    How much of this total in the account is interest?
    Use the below numbers:
    Total Amount Invested in compound interest account: 5400
    Annual Interest Rate: 2.2%
    # times interest is compounded: monthly 
    Amount paid into savings annuity account every month for five years: 90

    Use the information in the chart below on the line that corresponds to your assigned number, to answer the following questions. Be sure to show all the steps you took to reach your answers.
    What will your monthly mortgage payment be? Do not round any intermediate computations. Round your final answer to the nearest cents.
    Assuming you take the full term of the mortgage,
    how much will you have paid?
    how much total interest will you have paid? 
    what percent of the total that you paid was interest?

  • Title: Evaluating Book Deals Using NPV and IRR Analysis

    Complete the following and submit it in a Word document. Be
    sure to show your process and calculations:
    1.   
    Assume you have just
    retired as the CEO of a successful company. A major publisher has offered you a
    book deal. The publisher will pay you $1 million upfront if you agree to write
    a book about your experiences. You estimate that it will take three years to
    write the book. The time you spend writing will cause you to give up speaking
    engagements amounting to $500,000 per year. You estimate your opportunity cost
    to be 10%.
    o  
    Should you accept this
    deal? Plot a diagram that measures NPV (on the y-axis) vs. discount rate (on
    the x-axis) to solve this problem. (Hint: Have your scale on the
    x-axis go to 50% (discount rate)).
    o  
    Determine the IRR for
    this deal. (Hint: IRR is the point at which NPV = 0)
    2.   
    Suppose you inform the
    publisher that it needs to sweeten the deal before you will accept it. The
    publisher offers $550,000 advance and $1,000,000 in four years when the book is
    published.
    o  
    Should you accept or
    reject the new offer? Again, plot a diagram that measures NVP (on the y-axis)
    vs. discount rate (on the x-axis) to solve this problem. (Hint: Have
    your scale on the x-axis go to 50% (discount rate)).
    o  
    Determine the IRRs for
    this deal (Hint: There are two IRRs for this problem).
    o  
    Discuss if the IRR rule
    for making budgetary decisions can be used in this case.
    3.   
    Finally, you are able to
    get the publisher to increase your advance to $750,000, in addition to the $1
    million when the book is published in four years.
    o  
    Should you accept or
    reject this new offer? Again, plot a diagram that measures NVP (on the y-axis)
    vs. discount rate (on the x-axis) to solve this problem. (Hint: Have
    your scale on the x-axis go to 50% (discount rate)).
    o  
    Determine the IRR for
    this deal.
    4.   
    State three conclusions
    regarding the use of IRR vs. NPV that you can make from questions 2-4. Which is
    the stronger method to use (IRR or NPV), and why?
