A corporation is trying to decide whether to buy the patent for a product designed by another company. The decision to buy will mean an investment of $8 million, and the demand for the product is not known. If demand is light, the company expects a return of $1.3 million each year for three years. If demand is moderate, the return will be $2.5 million each year for four years, and high demand means a return of $4 million each year for four years. It is estimated the probability of a high demand is 0.4, and the probability of a light demand is 0.2. The firm's (risk-free) interest rate is 12%. Calculate the expected present worth of the patent. On this basis, should the company make the investment? (All figures represent after - tax values.)

Multiperiod Consumption-Saving Plan Assume a person is 35 years old and plans to retire at age 65. So s/he has 30 more years to work. Assume the following additional information apply:   Annual (real) income = $40,000     Real interest rate = 5% Expected live after retirement = 20 years Desired retirement income = 75% of pre-retirement income = $30,000 Prepare lifetime consumption-savings schedule for the person.   First calculate how much s/he should have at retirement in order to consume $30,000 per year for 20 more years. This is the PV of annuity of $30,000 over 20 years at interest rate of 5%.   30,000* (PVIFAs°20) = $373,866.31. This amount is also equal to the future value of what s/he should save over her/his remaining 30 working years.   (Annual saving)* (FVIFAS9,30) = $373,866.31. Solve for annual saving and you will get $5,627.22.
