U.S. Census Bureau statistics show that the annual earnings for persons with a high school diploma are $35, 220 versus $57, 925 for someone with a bachelor’s degree. If the cost of attending college is assumed to be $35, 000 per year for 4 years and the forgone earnings during those years are assumed to be $35, 220 per year, what rate of return does earning a bachelor’s degree represent? Use a 25-year study period. In your analysis, you are expected to: (i) Use Excel to display the cash flow; (ii) Draw a Cash Flow Diagram; (iii) Use Excel to compute the internal rate of return of the CFD. (Hint: The investment in years 1 through 4 is the cost of college plus the foregone earnings, and the income in years 5 through 25 is the difference in income between a high school diploma and a bachelor’s degree.)

ENGINEERING ECONOMICSMenchie bought his brother a laptop 5 years ago which has a cost of around 25,000PhP. The laptop’s life span willlast until 5 years. She has a friend which is a computer technician who advised her that the laptop’s life span couldextend until 10 years if she could spend semi-annual maintenance of 100Php with a 10Php increase rate startingthe next period of maintenance inspection. How much is the total future cost assuming that the money will havea rate of 2% compounded semi-annually if she decided to enjoy using her laptop beyond the expected life spanupon purchasing?
