SOLUTIONS MANUAL 1 CHAPTER 2 Present Value and the Opportunity Cost of Capital Answers to Practice Questions 1. Let INV = investment required at time t = 0 (i.e., INV = -C0) and let x = rate of return. Then x is defined as: x = (C1 – INV)/INV Therefore: C1 = INV(1 + x) It follows that: NPV = C0 + {C1/(1 + r)} NPV = -INV + {[INV(1 + x)]/(1 + r)} NPV = INV {[(1 + x)/(1 + r)] – 1} a. When x equals r, then: [(1 + x)/(1 +r)] – 1 = 0 and NPV is zero. b. When x exceeds r, then: [(1 + x)/(1 + r)] – 1 > 0 and NPV is positive. 2. The face value of the treasury security is $1,000. If this security earns 5%, then in one year we will receive $1,050. Thus: NPV = C0 + [C1/(1 + r)] = -1000 + (1050/1.05) = 0 This is not a surprising result, because 5 percent is the opportunity cost of capital, i.e., 5 percent is the return available in the capital market. If any investment earns a rate of return equal to the opportunity cost of capital, the NPV of that investment is zero. 2 3. NPV = -$1,300,000 + ($1,500,000/1.10) = +$63,636 Since the NPV is positive, you would construct the motel. Alternatively, we can compute r as follows: r = ($1,500,000/$1,300,000) – 1 = 0.1538 = 15.38% Since the rate of return is greater than the cost of capital, you would construct the motel. 4.

Investment 1, because it has the highest NPV. b. Investment 1, because it maximizes shareholders‘ wealth. 5. a. NPV = (-50,000 + 30,000) + (30,000/1.07) = $8,037.38 b. NPV = (-50,000 + 30,000) + (30,000/1.10) = $7,272.73 Since, in each case, the NPV is higher than the N PV of the office building ($7,143), accept E. Coli‘s offer. You can also think of it another way. The true opportunity cost of the land is what you could sell it for, i.e., $58,037 (or $57,273). At that price, the office building has a negative NPV. 6. The opportunity cost of capital is the return earned by investing in the best alternative investment. This return will not be realized if the investment under consideration is undertaken. Thus, the two investments must earn at least the same return. This return rate is the discount rate used in the net present value calculation. 3 7. a. NPV = -$2,000,000 + [$2,000,000  1.05)]/(1.05) = $0 b. NPV = -$900,000 + [$900,000  1.07]/(1.10) = -$24,545.45 The correct discount rate is 10% because this is the appropriate rate for an investment with the level of risk inherent in Norman‘s nephew‘s restaurant. The NPV is negative because Norman will not earn enough to compensate for the risk. c. NPV = -$2,000,00 0 + [$2,000,000  1.12]/(1.12) = $0 d. NPV = -$1,000,000 + ($1,100,000/1.12) = -$17,857.14 Norman should invest in either the risk -free government securities or the risky stock market, depending on his tolerance for risk. Correctly priced securities always have an NPV = 0. 8. a. Expected rate of return on project = $2,100,000 $ 2,000,000  0.05  5.0% $2,000,000 This is equal to the return on the government securities. b. Expected rate of return on project = $963,000 $900,000  0.07  7.0% $900,000 This is less than the correct 10% rate of return for restaurants with similar risk. c. Expected rate of return on project = $2,240,000  $2,000,000  0.12  12.0% $2,000,000 This is equal to the rate of return in the stock market. d. Expected rate of return on project = $1,100,000  $1,000,000  0.10  10.0% $1,000,000 This is less than the return in the equally risky stock market. 4 9. NPV  $2,600,000  $1,100,000  ($1,600,000 1.12)   $17,857.14  1.12  The rate at which Norman can borrow does not reflect the opportunity cost of the investments. Norman is still investing $1,000,000 at 10% while the opportunity cost of capital is 12%. 10. a. This is incorrect. The cost of capital is an opportunity cost; it i s the rate of return foregone on the next best alternative investment of equal risk. b. Net present value is not ―just theory.‖ An asset‘s net present value is the net gain to investors who acquire the asset. The concept of ―maximizing profits‖ is the fuzzy concept here. For example, this goal does not make it clear whether it is appropriate to try to increase profits today if it means sacrificing profits tomorrow. In contrast to the objective of maximizing profits, the net present value criterion correctly accounts for the timing of returns from an investment. Note that ―maximize profits‖ is an unsatisfactory objective in other respects as well. It does not take risk in to account, so that it is not possible to determine whether it is w orth trying to increase (average) profits if, in the process, risk is also increased. It is also unclear which accounting figure should be maximized because the profit figure depends on the accounting methods chosen. It is cash flow that is important, not accounting profit. Cash flow can be spent or invested, while accounting profit is a number on a piece of paper which can change with changes in accounting methods. c. The comment can be interpreted in two ways: 1. The manager may try to boost stock price temporarily by disseminating a deceptively rosy picture of the firm‘s prospects. This possibility is not considered in this chapter. However, it is difficult to imagine how a manager can act in the stockholders‘ bes t interests by deceiving them. 2. The manager may sacrifice present value in order to achieve the ―gently rising trend.‖ This is not in the stockholders‘ best interests. If they want a gently rising trend of wealth or income, they can always achieve it by sh ifting wealth through time (i.e., by borrowing or lending). The firm helps its stockholders most by making them as rich as possible now. 5 11. The investment‘s positive NPV will be reflected in the price of Airbus common stock. In order to derive a cash flow from her investment that will allow her to spend more today, Ms. Smith can sell some of her shares at the higher price or she can borrow against the increased value of her holdings. 12. Dollars Next Year 220,000 216,000 203,704 200,000 Dollars Now a. Let x = the amount that Casper should invest now. Then ($200,000 – x) is the amount he will consume now, and (1.08 x) is the amount he will consume next year. Since Casper wants to consume exactly the same amount each period: 200,000 – x = 1.08 x Solving, we find that x = $96,153.85 so that Casper should invest $96,153.85 now, he should spend ($200,000 - $96,153.85) = $103,846.15 now and he should spend (1.08  $96,153.85) = $103,846.15 next year. b. Since Casper can invest $200,000 at 10% risk -free, he can consume as much as ($200,000  1.10) = $220,000 next year. The present value of this $220,000 is: ($220,000/1.08) = $203,703.70, so that Casper can consume as much as $203,703.70 now by first investing $200,000 at 10% and then borrowing, at the 8% rate, against the $220,000 available next year. If we use the $203,703.70 as the available consumption now, and again let x = the amount that Casper should invest now, we can then solve the following for x: $203,703.70 – x = 1.08 x x = $97,934.47 6 Therefore, Casper should invest $97,934.47 now at 8%, he should spend ($203,703.70 – $97,934.47) = $105,769.23 now, and he should spend ($97,934.47  1.08) = $105,769.23 next year. [Note that this approach leads to the result that Casper borrows $203,703.70 at 8% and then invests $97,934.47 at 8%. We could simply say that he should borrow ($203,703.70 - $97,934.47) = $105,769.23 at 8% against the $220,000 available next year. This is the amount that he will consume now.] c. The NPV of the opportunity in (b) is: ($203,703.70 - $200,000) = $3,703.70 13. ―Well functioning‖ means investors all have free and equal access to competitive capital markets. Maximizing value may not be in all shareholders‘ interest if different shareholders are taxed at different rates, or if they do not or can not receive important information at the same time (due to differences in costs or abilities), or if they have different access to the capital markets. 14. If a firm does not have a reputation for honesty and fair business practices, then customers, suppliers, and investors will not want to do business with the firm. The firm, by acting in such a fashion, will not be able to maximize the value of the firm and shareholders will start to sell and the stock price will fall. The further the stock price falls, the easier it is for another group of investors to buy control of the firm and to replace the old management team with one that is more responsive to its stockholders. 7 Challenge Questions 1. The two points raised in the question do not invalidate the NPV rule. a. As long as capital markets do their job, all members of the community, wealthy or poor, have the same rate of time preference, because they all adjust to the same borrowing -lending line. The government acts in the best interests of all of its citizens by c hoosing only investments having positive NPV when discounted at the market interest rate. b. The ―longer horizon‖ argument, to the extent it is valid, requires a lower discount rate. It does not require discarding the NPV concept. But should the government e ver use a lower discount rate? Note that the rate of return on incremental real investment in the private sector equals the market rate of interest. Why should the government divert resources into public investments offering a lower rate of return? Lowering the discount rate for public investment means allowing the government to invest resources at a lower rate of return. That would not help future generations. There are some cases where a lower discount rate might be justified, however. For example , NPV analysis might indicate that a wilderness mountain meadow should be torn up in order to create a copper mine, but We the People might decide to make it a national park instead. In part, this decision reflects the difficulty of capturing intangible be nefits of the park in an NPV calculation. Even if the intangibles could be expressed as dollar values, there is a case for discounting at a relatively low rate: People‘s time preferences for wilderness recreation may not fully adjust to capital market rate s of return. 2. a. 1 + r = 5/4 so that r = 0.25 = 25 percent b. $2.6 million – $1.6 million = $1 million c. $3 million d. Return = (3 – 1)/1 = 2.0 = 200 percent e. Marginal rate of return = rate of interest = 25 percent f. PV = $4 million – $1.6 million = $2.4 million g. NPV = -$1.0 million + $2.4 million = $1.4 million h. $4 million ($2.6 million cash + NPV) i. $1 million j. $3.75 million 8 3. a-d. See Figure 2.1a on page 10. e. NPV = C0 + C1/(1 + r) $2 million = -$6 million + C1/(1 + 0.10) C1 = $8.8 million f. The marginal rate of return equals the interest rate, 10 percent. g. After the firm has announced its investment plans, the firm‘s PV is equal to the amount of cash initially available ($10 million) plus the PV of the investment ($2 million). Thus, the firm‘s PV after the announcement is $12 million. h. After the company pays out $4 million, the shareholders have $4 million in cash plus shares worth $8 million. (We know the shares are worth $8 million because the PV of their total investment is $12 million.) In order to spend as they desire, they must borrow $2 million. The interest rate is 10 percent. i. Next year, they will have the cash flow at t = 1, which is $8.8 million, but they will also have to repay the loan (plus interest, of course): $8.8 million – ($2 million  1.1) = $6.6 million 4. a. Expected cash flow = ($8 million + $12 million + $16 million)/3 = $12 million b. Expected rate of return = ($12 million/$8 million) – 1 = 0.50 = 50% c. Expected cash flow = ($8 + $12 + $16)/3 = $12 Expected rate of return = ($12/$10) – 1 = 0.20 = 20% The net cash flow from selling the tanker load is the same as the payoff from one million shares of Stock Z in each state of the world economy. Therefore, the risk of each of these cash flows is the same. d. NPV = -$8,000,000 + ($12,000,000/1.20) = +$2,000,000 The project is a good investment because the NPV is positive. Investors would be prepared to pay as much as $10,000,000 for the project, which costs $8,000,000. 9 5. a. Expected cash flow (Project B) = ($4 million + $6 million + $8 million)/3 Expected cash flow (Project B) = $6 million Expected cash flow (Project C) = ($5 million + $5.5 million + $6 million)/3 Expected cash flow (Project C) = $5.5 million b. Expected rate of return (Stock X) = ($110/$95.65) –1 = 0.15 = 15.0% Expected rate of return (Stock Y) = ($44/$40) –1 = 0.10 = 10.0% Expected rate of return (Stock Z) = ($12/$10) –1 = 0.20 = 20.0% c. Percentage Differences Slump v. Normal Boom v. Normal Project B 4/6 = 66.67% 8/6 = 133.33% Project C 5/5.5 = 90.91% 6/5.5 = 109.09% Stock X 80/110 = 72.73% 140/110 = 127.27% Stock Y 40/44 = 90.91% 48/44 = 109.09% Stock Z 8/12 = 66.67% 16/12 = 133.33% Project B has the same risk as Stock Z, so the cost of capital for Project B is 20%. Project C has the same risk as Stock Y, so the cost of capital for Project C is 10%. d. NPV (Project B) = -$5,000,000 + ($6,000,000/1.20) = 0 NPV (Project C) = -$5,000,00 0 + ($5,500,000/1.10) = 0 e. The two projects will add nothing to the total market value of the company‘s shares. 10 Figure 2-1a (Dollar amounts are in millions) Dollars, Time t=1 Firm‘s cash receipts at t=1 Amount consumed at t=1 8.80 6.60      Firm‘s investment Preferred consumption pattern PV of shareholders‘ investment  4 6 10 12 Dollars, Time t=0 Firm‘s payout at t=0 Amount consumed today 11 CHAPTER 3 How to Calculate Present Values Answers to Practice Questions 1. a. PV = $100  0.905 = $90.50 b. PV = $100  0.295 = $29.50 c. PV = $100  0.035 = $ 3.50 d. PV = $100  0.893 = $89.30 PV = $100  0.797 = $79.70 PV = $100  0.712 = $71.20 PV = $89.30 + $79.70 + $71.20 = $240.20 2. a. PV = $100  4.279 = $427.90 b. PV = $100  4.580 = $458.00 c. We can think of cash flows in this problem as being the difference between two separate streams of cash flows. The first stream is $100 per year received in years 1 through 12; the second is $100 per year paid in years 1 through 2. The PV of $100 received in years 1 to 12 is: PV = $100  [Annuity factor, 12 time periods , 9%] PV = $100  [7.161] = $716.10 The PV of $100 paid in years 1 to 2 is: PV = $100  [Annuity factor, 2 time periods, 9%] PV = $100  [1.759] = $175.90 Therefore, the present value of $100 per year received in each of years 3 through 12 is: ($716.10 - $175.90) = $540.20. (Alternatively, we can think of this as a 10-year annuity starting in year 3.) 12 2   3. a. DF1 1 1 r1  0.88  so that r1 = 0.136 = 13.6% b. DF2  1 (1  r )2  1 (1.105)2  0.82 c.

AF3 = DF1 + DF2 + DF3 = AF2 + DF3 2.45 = 1.70 + DF 3 DF3 = 0.75 4. The present value of the 10 -year stream of cash inflows is (using Appendix Table 3): ($170,000  5.216) = $886,720 Thus: NPV = -$800,000 + $886,720 = +$86,720 At the end of five years, the factory‘s value will be the present value of the five remaining $170,000 cash flows. Again using Appendix Table 3: PV = 170,000  3.433 = $583,610 5. a.

Annual payment = initial value  annuity factor 20-year annuity factor at 8 percent = 9.818 Annual payment = $190,295/9.818 = $19,382 13 6.

We can break this down into several different cash flows, such that the sum of these separate cash flows is the total cash flow. Then, the sum of the present values of the separate cash flows is the present value of the entire project. All dollar figures are in millions.  Cost of the ship is $8 million PV = -$8 million  Revenue is $5 million per year, operating expenses are $4 million. Thus, operating cash flow is $1 million per year for 15 years. PV = $1 million  [Annuity factor at 8%, t = 15] = $1 million  8.559 PV = $8.559 million  Major refits cost $2 million each, and will occur at times t = 5 and t = 10. PV = -$2 million  [Discount factor at 8%, t = 5] PV = -$2 million  [Discount factor at 8%, t = 10] PV = -$2 million  [0.681 + 0.463] = -$2.288 million  Sale for scrap brings in revenue of $1.5 million at t = 15. PV = $1.5 million  [Discount factor at 8%, t = 15] PV = $1.5 million  [0.315] = $0.473 Adding these present values gives the present value of the entire project: PV = -$8 million + $8.559 million - $2.288 million + $0.473 million PV = -$1.256 million 8. a. PV = $100,000 b. PV = $180,000/1.125 = $102,137 c. PV = $11,400/0.12 = $95,000 d. PV = $19,000  [Annuity factor, 12%, t = 10] PV = $19,000  5.650 = $107,350 e. PV = $6,500/(0.12 - 0.05) = $92,857 Prize (d) is the most valuable because it has the highest present value. 14 9. a. Present value per play is: PV = 1,250/(1.07)2 = $1,091.80 This is a gain of 9.18 percent per trial. If x is the number of trials needed to become a millionaire, then: (1,000)(1.0918)x = 1,000,000 Simplifying and then using logarithms, we find: (1.0918)x = 1,000 x (ln 1.0918) = ln 1000 x = 78.65 Thus the number of trials required is 79. b. (1 + r1) must be less than (1 + r2)2. Thus: DF1 = 1/(1 + r 1) must be larger (closer to 1.0) than: DF2 = 1/(1 + r2)2 10. Mr. Basset is buying a security worth $20,000 now. That is its present value. The unknown is the annual payment. Using the present value of an annuity formula, we have: PV = C  [Annuity factor, 8%, t = 12] 20,000 = C  7.536 C = $2,654 11. Assume the Turnips will put aside the same amount each year. One approach to solving this problem is to find the present value of the cost of the boat and equate that to the present value of the money saved. From this equation, we can solve for the amount to be put aside each year. PV(boat) = 20,000/(1.10)5 = $12,418 PV(savings) = Annual savings  [Annuity factor, 10%, t = 5] PV(savings) = Annual savings  3.791 Because PV(savings) must equal PV(boat): Annual savings  3.791 = $12,418 Annual savings = $3,276 15  Another approach is to find the value of the savings at the time the boat is purchased. Because the amount in the savings account at the end of five years must be the price of the boat, or $20,000, we can solve for the amount to be put aside each year. If x is the amount to be put aside each year, then: x(1.10)4 + x(1.10)3 + x(1.10)2 + x(1.10)1 + x = $20,000 x(1.464 + 1.331 + 1.210 + 1.10 + 1) = $20,000 x(6.105) = $20,000 x = $ 3,276 12. The fact that Kangaroo Autos is offering ―free credit‖ tells us what the cash payments are; it does not change the fact that money has time value. A 10 percent annual rate of interest is equivalent to a monthly rate of 0.83 percent: rmonthly = rannual /12 = 0.10/12 = 0.0083 = 0.83% The present value of the payments to Kangaroo Autos is: $1000 + $300  [Annuity factor, 0.83%, t = 30] Because this interest rate is not in our tables, we use the formula in the text to find the annuity factor: $1,000  $300   1  1   $8,938 0.0083 (0.0083)  (1.0083)30   A car from Turtle Motors costs $9,000 cash. Therefore, Kangaroo Autos offers the better deal, i.e., the lower present value of cost. 16 13. The NPVs are: at 5 percent  NPV  $150,000  $100,000  $300,000  $26,871 1.05 (1.05)2 at 10 percent  NPV  $150,000  $100,000  300,000  $7,025 1.10 (1.10)2 at 15 percent  NPV  $150,000  $100,000  300,000  $10,113 1.15 (1.15)2 The figure below shows that the project has zero NPV at about 12 percent. As a check, NPV at 12 percent is: NPV  $150,000  $100,000  300,000  $128 1.12 (1.12)2 30 20 10 NPV 0 -10 -20 0.05 0.10 0.15 Rate of Interest NPV 17 14. a. Future value = $100 + (15  $10) = $250 b. FV = $100  (1.15)10 = $404.60 c. Let x equal the number of years required for the investment to double at 15 percent. Then: ($100)(1.15)x = $200 Simplifying and then using logarithms, we find: x (ln 1.15) = ln 2 x = 4.96 Therefore, it takes five years for money to double at 15% compound interest. (We can also solve by using Appendix Table 2, and searching for the factor in the 15 percent column that is closest to 2. This is 2.011, for five years.) 15. a. This calls for the growing perpetuity formula with a negative growth rate (g = -0.04): PV $2 million 0.10  (0.04)  $2 million 0.14  $14.29 million b. The pipeline‘s value at year 20 (i.e., at t = 20), assuming its cash flows last forever, is: C C (1  g)20 PV20  21  1 r  g r  g With C1 = $2 million, g = -0.04, and r = 0.10: PV20 ($2 million)  (1 0.04)20 0.14  $0.884 million 0.14  $6.314 million Next, we convert this amount to PV today, and subtract it from the answer to Part (a): PV  $14.29 million  $6.314 million  $13.35 million (1.10)20 18     16. a. This is the usual perpetuity, and hence: PV  C  $100  $1,428.57 r 0.07 b. This is worth the PV of stream (a) plus the immediate payment of $100: PV = $100 + $1,428.57 = $1,528.57 c. The continuously compounded equivalent to a 7 percent annually compounded rate is approximately 6.77 percent, because: e0.0677 = 1.0700 Thus: PV  C  r $100 0.0677  $1,477.10 Note that the pattern of payments in part (b) is more valuable than the pattern of payments in part (c). It is preferable to receive cash flows at the start of every year than to spread the receipt of cash evenly over the year; with the former pattern of payment, you receive the cash more quickly. 17. a. PV = $100,000/0.08 = $1,250,000 b. PV = $100,000/(0.08 - 0.04) = $2,500,000 c. PV  $100,000   1  1   $981,800 0.08 (0.08)  (1.08)20  d. The continuously compounded equivalent to an 8 percent annually compounded rate is approximately 7.7 percent , because: e0.0770 = 1.0800 Thus: PV  $100,000   1  1   $1,020,284 0.077 (0.077)  e(0.077)(20)  (Alternatively, we could use Appendix Table 5 here.) This result is greater than the answer in Part (c) because the endowment is now earning interest during the entire year. 19 r   18. To find the annual rate (r), we solve the following future value equation: 1,000 (1 + r)8 = 1,600 Solving algebraically, we find: (1 + r)8 = 1.6 (1 + r) = (1.6)(1/8) = 1.0605 r = 0.0605 = 6.05% The continuously compounded equivalent to a 6.05 percent annually compounded rate is approximately 5.87 percent, because: e0.0587 = 1.0605 19. With annual compounding: FV = $100  (1.15)20 = $1,637 With continuous compounding: FV = $100  e(0.15)(20) = $2,009 20. One way to approach this problem is to solve for the present value of: (1) $100 per year for 10 years, and (2) $100 per year in perpetuity, with the first cash flow at year 11 If this is a fair deal, these present values must be equal, and thus we can solve for the interest rate, r. The present value of $100 per year for 10 years is: PV  $100 1  1   (r)  (1 r)10  The present value, as of year 10, of $100 per year forever, with the first payment in year 11, is: PV10 = $100/r At t = 0, the present value of PV10 is: PV  1 $100    (1 r)10   r      Equating these two expressions for present value, we have: $100 1   1     1 $100   r (r)  (1 r)10   (1 r)10   r        Using trial and error or algebraic solution, we find that r = 7.18%. 20 21. Assume the amount invested is one dollar. Let A represent the investment at 12 percent, compounded annually. Let B represent the investment at 11.7 percent, compounded semiannually. Let C represent the investment at 11.5 percent, compounded continuously. After one year: FVA = $1  (1 + 0.12)1 = $1.120 FVB = $1  (1 + 0.0585)2 = $1.120 FVC = $1  (e0.1151) = $1.122 After five years: FVA = $1  (1 + 0.12)5 = $1.762 FVB = $1  (1 + 0.0585)10 = $1.766 FVC = $1  (e0.1155) = $1.777 After twenty years: FVA = $1  (1 + 0.12)20 = $9.646 FVB = $1  (1 + 0.0585)40 = $9.719 FVC = $1  (e0.115 20) = $9.974 The preferred investment is C. 22. 1 + rnominal = (1 + rreal)  (1 + inflation rate) Nominal Rate Inflation Rate Real Rate 6.00% 1.00% 4.95% 23.20% 10.00% 12.00% 9.00% 5.83% 3.00% 23. 1 + rnominal = (1 + rreal)  (1 + inflation rate) Approximate Real Rate Actual Real Rate Difference 4.00% 3.92% 0.08% 4.00% 3.81% 0.19% 11.00% 10.00% 1.00% 20.00% 13.33% 6.67% 21 24. The total elapsed time is 113 years. At 5%: FV = $100  (1 + 0.05)113 = $24,797 At 10%: FV = $100  (1 + 0.10)113 = $4,757,441 25. Because the cash flows occur every six months, we use a six -month discount rate, here 8%/2, or 4%. Thus: PV = $100,000 + $100,000  [Annuity Factor, 4%, t = 9] PV = $100,000 + $100,000  7.435 = $843,500 26. PVQB = $3 million  [Annuity Factor, 10%, t = 5] PVQB = $3 million  3.791 = $11.373 million PVRECEIVER = $4 million + $2 million  [Annuity Factor, 10%, t = 5] PVRECEIVER = $4 million + $2 million  3.791 = $11.582 million Thus, the less famous receiver is better paid, despite press reports that the quarterback received a ―$15 million contract,‖ while the receiver got a ―$14 million contract.‖ 27. a. Each installment is: $9,420,713/19 = $495,827 PV = $495,827  [Annuity Factor, 8%, t = 19] PV = $495,827  9.604 = $4,761,923 b. If ERC is willing to pay $4.2 million, then: $4,200,000 = $495,827  [Annuity Factor, x%, t = 19] This implies that the annuity factor is 8.471, so that, using the annuity table for 19 times periods, we find that the interest rate is about 10 percent. 28. This is an annuity problem with the present value of the annuity equal to $2 million (as of your retirement date), and the interest rate equal to 8 percent, with 15 time periods. Thus, your annual level of expenditure (C) is determined as follows: $2,000,000 = C  [Annuity Factor, 8%, t = 15] $2,000,000 = C  8.559 C = $233,672 22  With an inflation rate of 4 percent per year, we will still accumulate $2 million as of our retirement date. However, because we want to spend a constant amount per year in real terms (R, constant for all t), the nominal amount (C t ) must increase each year. For each year t: R = C t /(1 + inflation rate)t Therefore: PV [all C t ] = PV [all R  (1 + inflation rate)t] = $2,000,000  (1  0.04)1 (1  0.04)2 (1  0.04)15  R   (1 0.08)1  (1  0.08)2 . . .  (1 0.08)15   $2,000,000   R  [0.9630 + 0.9273 + . . . + 0.5677] = $2,000,000 R  11.2390 = $2,000,000 R = $177,952 Thus C1 = ($177,952  1.04) = $185,070, C2 = $192,473, etc. 29. First, with nominal cash flows: a. The nominal cash flows form a growing perpetuity at the rate of inflation, 4%. Thus, the cash flow in 1 year will be $416,000 and: PV = $416,000/(0.10 - 0.04) = $6,933,333 b. The nominal cash flows form a growing annuity for 20 years, with an additional payment of $5 million at ye ar 20: PV   416,000  432,640  . . .  876,449  5,000,000   $5,418,389  (1.10)1 (1.10)2 (1.10)20 (1.10)20   Second, with real cash flows: a. Here, the real cash flows are $400,000 per year in perpetuity, and we can find the real rate (r) by solving the following equation: (1 + 0.10) = (1 + r)  (1.04)  r = 0.0577 = 5.77% PV = $400,000/(0.0577) = $6,932,409 23  b. Now, the real cash flows are $400,000 per year for 20 years and $5 million (nominal) in 20 years. In real terms, the $5 million dollar payment is: $5,000,000/(1.04)20 = $2,281,935 Thus, the present value of the project is: PV  $400,000   1  1   $2,281,935  $5,417,986  (0.0577) (0.0577)(1.0577)20  (1.0577)20 [As noted in the statement of the problem, the answers agree, to within rounding errors.] 30. Let x be the fraction of Ms. Pool‘s salary to be set aside each year. At any point in the future, t, her real income will be: ($40,000)(1 + 0.02) t The real amount saved each year will be: (x)($40,000)(1 + 0.02) t The present value of this amount is: (x)($40,000)(1  0.02)t (1  0.05)t Ms. Pool wants to have $500,000, in real terms, 30 years from now.
