They currently have $250,000, and they think they will need
$1,000,000 at retirement. What annual interest rate must they earn to reach their goal, assuming
they don’t save any additional funds?
Answer:
1000000 = 250000 *(1+r) ^ 18
(1+r) ^ 18 = 4
1+r = 1.08
r = 1.08 – 1
r = 0.08 or 8%
5.5. You have $42,180.53 in a brokerage account, and you plan to deposit an additional $5,000 at the
end of every future year until your account totals $250,000. You expect to earn 12% annually on the
account. How many years will it take to reach your goal?
Answer:
a. You borrow $700 and promise to pay back $749 at the end of 1 year
PV = $700
N=1
FV = -$749
PMT = 0
I=?
I = 7%
b. You lend $700 and receive a promise to be paid $749 at the end of 1 year
PV = -$700
N=1
FV = $749
PMT = 0
I = 7%
c. You borrow $85,000 and promise to pay back $201,229 at the end of 10 years
PV = $85,000
N = 10
FV = -$201,229
PMT = 0
I = 9%
d. You borrow $9,000 and promise to make payments of $2,684.80 at the end of each the next 5
years.
PV = $9,000
N=5
FV = 0
PMT = $2,684.80
I = 15%
5-17. What is the present value of a $100 perpetuity if the interest rate is 7%? IF interest rated
doubled to 14%, what would its present value be?

5-23.Wang Yun just won the lottery and she must choose among three award option. She can elect to
receive a lump sum today of $61 million to receive 10 end-of-year payments of 9.5 million or to
receive 30 end-of-year payments of 5.5 million.
A.) 1. Receive a lump sum today of $61 million
PV = $61,000,000 1/Y= 7% n= 0
FV = PV (1 + r) t
FV = $61,000,000 (1+0.07)0
FV = $61,000,000
Decision: In this case, It will be better for her to receive a lump sum today of $61 million since she will
get the highest present value
