Answer
1. true
Capital gain on selling stock of facebook = (Sale price - purchase price)* number iof shares
= (185-30)*100
= $15500
Tax on capital gains = 15500*20% = $3100
Annual return on stock = (100*185)*20%
= $3700
After tax return on investment = [(15500-3100) + 3700] / 3000
= 537%
2. false
present value of annuity = payment per period * [ 1 - (1+i)^-n ]/i
amount required at time of retirement
= 50000 * [1-(1+3%)^-15]/3%
= 596896.75
3.False
future value of annuity = payment per period * [(1+i)^n - 1]/i
deposit per period = 45000 * 5% = 2250
future value of deposits = 2250 * [(1+3%)^60 -1]/3%
= 366870.23
hence false, this amount is not enough to cover amount required at time of retirement
