The tuition fee is estimated to be $35,000 for the first year but is expected to increase by 5% per year thereafter. Required: i. Assuming this trust fund will earn 7.5% interest per annun, calculate the amount required at the start of one student's college journey to fund his/her full tuition. ii. If DEVCON Industries would like to sponsor the first student in two years' time and they currently have $125,000 earmarked for investment, what annual rate of interest is required to accumulate the amount needed as calculated in part (i)?

As a future graduate of the University of Minnesota, someday you would like to endow a scholarship (meaning give the university money in your name) to pay for tuition expenses for future UMN students. Assume you just graduated (congratulations!). You plan to work for fifteen years after graduation before endowing this scholarship (at the end of the fifteenth year AFTER graduation). Annual tuition at UMN is $10,000 today, and is expected to grow at the long-term average rate of inflation of 3% per year forever. Savings are expected to earn a return of 7% per year forever.   a) The first tuition payment is due one year after the scholarship is endowed. How much will the tuition be when your scholarship makes the first payment? b) You would like the scholarship to pay all tuition for one student per year for the twenty years following the creation of the endowment, how much money do you need to endow the scholarship? c)If you would like the scholarship to pay for tuition for one student…

A wealthy graduate of a local university wants to establish a scholarship to cover the full cost of one student each year in perpetuity at her university. To adequately prepare for the administration of the scholarship, the university will begin awarding it starting in three years. The estimated full cost of one student this year is $32,000 and is expected to stay constant in real terms in the future. If the scholarship is invested to earn an annual real return of 10 percent, how much must the donor contribute today to fully fund the scholarship? Note: Negative value should be indicated by a parenthesis. > Answer is complete but not entirely correct. $(240,421) X Contribution

The Jeffersons have asked you what would be needed to fund the children’s future college costs. Assume each child will begin college at age 18 and graduate in four years. Assume current costs are $24,000 per year and are expected to increase by 5% per year and investments earn 7%.   A.      Assuming no existing assets are dedicated to college, what is the annual savings amount required to fund the children’s education? The Jeffersons’ goal is to have an amount at the beginning of the freshman year for each child that is sufficient to fund a serial payment covering the $24,000 of current costs of college adjusted for inflation for each of the four years of college. Please include your calculator keystroke inputs [PV, I/YR, N, FV, and PMT (if needed)] for each step of this calculation. Also include whether any PMTs are in the end mode or the begin mode. B.      What would you say to the Jeffersons about their education funding situation? Write a script of a single paragraph as if you…
