- answer question in imagearrow_forwardIt is the beginning of September and you have been offered the following deal to go heli-skiing. If you pick the first week in January and pay for your vacation now, you can get a week of heli-skiing for $3,000. However, if you cannot ski because the helicopters cannot fly due to bad weather, there is no snow, or you get sick, you do not get a refund. There is a 40% probability that you will not be able to ski. If you wait until the last minute and go only if you know that the conditions are perfect and you are well, the vacation will cost you $5,500. You estimate that the pleasure you get from heli-skiing is worth $7,600 per week to you (if you had to pay more than that, you would choose not to go). If your cost of capital is 17% per year, should you book ahead or wait? You should because the NPV of this choice is $ (Round to two decimal places.) book ahead waitarrow_forwardKhairy is deciding if he should pursue a professional course for one year, from January to December 2022.

- Jennifer Lee, an engineering major in her junior year, has received in the mail two guaranteed-line-of-credit applications from two different banks. Each bank offers a different annual fee and finance charge. Jennifer expects her average monthly balance after payment to be $500 and plans to keep the card she chooses for only 24 months. (After graduation, she will apply for a new card.) Jennifer's interest rate (on her savings account) is 8% compounded daily.

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_forward
