Suppose that an oil well is expected to produce 1,200,000 barrels of oil during its first year in production. However, its subsequent production (yield) is expected to increase by 9% over the previous year's production. The oil well has a proven reserve of 10,500,000 barrels. (a) Suppose that the price of oil is expected to be $120 per barrel for the next six years. What would be the present worth of the anticipated revenue stream at an interest rate of 10% compounded annually over the next six years? (b) Suppose that the price of oil is expected to start at $120 per barrel during the first year, but to increase at the rate of 3% over the previous year's price. What would be the present worth of the anticipated revenue stream at an interest rate of 10% compounded annually over the next six years? (c) Consider part (b) again. After three years' production, you decide to sell the oil well. What would be a fair price?

Suppose a person has a total credit card debt of $1,500$⁢1,500 that has a 7%7% yearly interest rate. This person also has a savings account with $2,500$⁢2,500 that pays 2%2% interest per year. Despite the net loss, the person keeps both.Calculate how many times the person appreciates the $1$⁢1 of savings more than $1$⁢1 of credit card debt if the person relates similarly to both values of percent paid and received. Enter your answer in the box below and round to two decimal places if necessary.
A state lottery gives a winner the choice of receiving the winning amount in equal monthly payments for 20 years or receiving a lump sum equal to the present value of an annuity with future value equal to the winnings. The winner selecting monthly payments will receive $4,000,000/240 = $16,666.67 each month for each million dollars of winnings. (Round your final answers to two decimal places.) (a) Find the present value of an annuity with monthly payments of $16,666.67, at an Interest rate of 5.2% for 20 years, for the winner who wants a lump-sum payment. $ X (b) In order for the lottery to be more profitable, it is decided to pay the winnings in equal monthly payments for 25 years. Find the monthly payments of $4 million in winnings. $ Find the present value of an annuity with those monthly payments at 5.2% for 25 years. $
A consumer's income in the current period is y = 100 and income in the future period is y'= 120. He or she pays lump-sum taxes t=20 in the current period and t'= 10 in the future period. The real interest rate is 0.1, or 10%, per period. (a) Determine what the consumer's optimal current-period and future-period consump tions are, and what optimal saving is, and show this in a diagram with the consumer's budget constraint and indifference curves. Is the consumer a lender or a borrower? (b) Now suppose that instead of y = 100 the consumer has y = 140 Again, determine optimal consumption in the current and future periods and optimal saving, and show this in a dia gram. Is the consumer a lender or a borrower? (c) Explain the differences in your results be tween parts (a) and (b).
XYZ corporation has budgeted P300,000 per year to pay for labor over the next five years. If thecompany expects the cost of labor to increase by P10,000 each year, what is the expected cost ofthe labor in the first year, if the interest rate is 10%
Suppose that a 2-year zero-coupon bond with face value $1,000 currently sells at $840, while a 1-year zero-coupon bond with face value $1,000 currently sells at $920. You are considering the purchase of a 2-year coupon bond that pays coupon annually. The face value of this coupon bond is $1,000 and coupon rate is 12% per year. Required: a. What is the yield to maturity of the 2-year zero-coupon bonds? b. What is the current price of the 2-year coupon bond? c. What is the forward rate of the second year? d. If the expectation hypothesis is accepted, what are (1) the expected price of the coupon bond at the end of the first year and (2) the expected holding period return on the coupon bond over the first year? e. Will the expected rate of return be higher or lower if you accept the liquidity preference hypothesis?
1. How much is the total value of all these presents worth today?2. How much is the future value of all these presents at the end of 12 years?3. If Tita Rhea agrees to give her these amounts annually forever, how much is its total value worth today?4. If the presents are each made continuously throughout the year at a rate of P, multiply the present value in #7 by a suitable adjustment factor (d/δ) to determine its total present value. Type the resulting amount below.
1. Consider a wine dealer who has k bottles of wine. The dealer can sell them now (t = 0) or can store it for some time and then sell them later. The value of k bottles at t-th month is given by: Vt = ket The dealer can use the sales revenue as principal in a risk-free investment at rate r. (b) Write out the present value PV, of k bottles at t-th month.
Assume that your father is now 50 years old and plans to retire after 10 years from now. He is expected to live for another 25 years after retirement. He wants a fixed retirement income of Rs. 5,00,000 per annum. His retirement income will begin the day he retires, 10 years from today, and then he will get 24 additional payments annually. Your father has current savings of Rs. 10,00,000 and he expects to earn a return on his savings @ 10% p.a., annually compounding. How much (to the nearest of rupee) must your father save during each of next 10 years to meet his retirement goal?
