Question

1. Suppose the opportunity cost of capital is 5% and you have just won a $750,000 lottery that entitles you to

$75,000 at the end of each year for the next 10 years.

1. What is the minimum lump sum cash payment you would be willing to take now in lieu of the IO-year annuity?
2. What is the minimum lump sum you would be willing to accept at the end of the 10 years in lieu of the annuity?

2. Using the appropriate interest factor table, answer each of the following questions (each case is independent of each other.)

1. Your company purchases a 5-year certificate of deposit which pays semi-annually and has a stated interest rate of 6.5%. The initial investment is $10,000. What is the future amount of your investment worth at the end of 5 years?
2. What amount must you put in the bank today if you will need $20,000 in 10 years for the cost of your child's college education? The bank will provide you with interest payments quarterly on your investment. The annual rate of interest you have been quoted is 9 percent.

Answer 1

1]	Minimun lump sum to be received now = PV of the annuity of 75000 for 10 years discounted at the opportunity cost of 5% =75000*(1.05^10-1)/(0.05*1.05^10) =	$ 579,130.12
	Minimun lump sum to be received after 10 years = FV of the annuiyt of 75000 for 10 years at 5% = 75000*(1.05^10-1)/0.05 =	$ 943,341.94
2]	FV = the sum of the FV of the deposit of 10000 compounded at 3.25% for 10 half years = 10000*1.0325^10 =	$    13,768.94
	[It is assumed that the interest is reinvested at the same rate]
	Amount to be deposited today = The PV of 20000 discounted for 40 quarters at 9%/4 =2.25% = 20000/1.0225^40 =	$      8,212.92
