Mark found two feasible options for an apartment to rent for the next 2 years. Option A requires monthly rent of $1,300 to be paid at the beginning of each month. Option B allows for end-of-month rent payments of $1,300 (same amenities as in option A). Mark uses a fairly high annual discount rate of 24 % (sadly, he is also a high credit risk). Find the PV of the future rent payments for both options over the 2-year time period and explain which one Mark will prefer, if he bases his decision strictly on cash flow. (Round present value factor calculations to 5 decimal places, e.g. 1.25124 and final answers to 2 decimal places eg. 5,125.36.) Click here to view the factor table A Option A Present value $ S Option B Mark would choose , because he would effectively be paying in rent over this two-year period.

Suppose you inherit $100,000 at age 25 and immediately invested in a growth fund who’s annual rate of return average is 13%. Five years later, you transfer all proceeds from the scrubs fun into a long-term IRA that pays an average annual rate of 8%. Immediately you start making additional contributions of $7000 per year to the same IRA. Assuming continuous interest, steady interest rates, and a perfect record of making annualcontributions, how much is this IRA worth when you reach the age of 65? The formula that will need to be used is A = P e^r*t + D/r (e^r*t - 1). Hint: use the continuous interest formula to find the accumulated amount for the first five years, which is then the annual investment, P, into the IRA.
