- 3. A village has six residents, each of whom has accumulated savings of $100. Each villager can use this money either to buy a government bond that pays 15% per year. Or they can buy a llama, send it onto the commons to graze and then sell it after one year. The price the villager gets for selling the llama depends on quality of fleece it grows. The quality of fleece depends on how many llamas are grazing. At the end of the year the villager will have $115 if they buy the bond or $109-$122 if they buy the llama depending on how many llamas are purchased Number of Llamas 1 2 3 4 5 6 Price per Llama 122 118 116 114 112 109 a. If each villager decides individually how to invest, how many llamas will be sent onto the commons and what will be the net village income? b. What is the socially optimal number of llamas for this village? c. The village committee votes to auction the right to graze the llamas to the highest bidder.

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?

- 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 $38,000 and is expected to stay constant in real terms in the future. If the scholarship is invested to earn an annual real return of 5 percent, how much must the donor contribute today to fully fund the scholarship?arrow_forwardA father is now planning a savings program to put his daughter through college. She is 13, plans to enroll at the university in 5 years, and she should graduate 4 years later. Currently, the annual cost (for everything - food, clothing, tuition, books, transportation, and so forth) is $15,000, but these costs are expected to increase by 6% annually. The college requires total payment at the start of the year. She now has $9,000 in a college savings account that pays 8% annually. Her father will make six equal annual deposits into her account; the first deposit today and sixth on the day she starts college. How large must each of the six payments be? (Hint: Calculate the cost (inflated at 6%) for each year of college and find the total present value of those costs, discounted at 8%, as of the day she enters college. Then find the compounded value of her initial $9,000 on that same day. The difference between the PV of costs and the amount that would be in the savings account must be…arrow_forwardThe 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…arrow_forward
