Suppose that the City of Nairobi is planning a bid to host the 2032 Olympics and has estimated the following benefits: The estimated benefits at the end of year 1 (B₁) are $300 million, at the end of year 2 (B₂) are $200 million, and at the end of year 3 (B3) only $100 million (after the third year there are no further benefits). If the estimated interest rate is 4% (r = 0.04) then using the estimated value of benefits equation below, calculate the maximum value (and therefore, the maximum amount that Nairobi should bid) for the 2032 Olympics. V = B1 B₂ (1+r) (1+r)² + $555,421,869 $574,812,436 $562,272,417 $534,998,971 + B3 (1+r)³

Suppose that $100 is invested for five years at an interest rate of 8% per year, compounded annually. How much will be in the account at the end of five years? A. P = $100 (P/A,8%,5) = $100 (3.993) = $399.30 B. F = $100 (P/F,8%,5) = $100 (0.6806) = $68.06 C. F = $100 (F/A,8%,5) = $100 (5.867) = $586.70 D. F = $100 (F/P,8%,5) = $100 (1.469) = $146.90
You finish your engineering degree with $17,350 in student loans. The interest rate on your loans is 0.6% per month. The loan repayment period is 10 years and your monthly payment is set to be $203.24 [= $17,350(A/P, 0.6%, 120)]. Question 1: You can reduce the interest rate to 0.5% per month if you agree to repay the loan over the next 5 years. If you agree to this, how much is the monthly payment? Round your answer to the nearest cent (e.g., 473.24). Question 2:
Suppose $100 is invested today in a project that returns $330 in 6 years. Calculate the IRR of this investment.
Labco Scientific sells high-purity chemicals to universities, research laboratories and pharmaceutical companies. The company wants to invest in new equipment that will reduce shipping costs by better matching the size of the completed products with the size of the shipping container. The new equipment is estimated to cost $575,000 to purchase and install now. (See cash flow diagram below) j= 8% A=? 1 3 4 A= Represents savings every year $575,000 The correct equation to calculate how much Labco must save each year for 5 years in order to justify the investment at an interest rate of 8% per year is: 0.05(1+0.05)* ((1+0.05)* –1) A = 575, 000 0.05 A = 575, 000 ((1+0.05)*–1) 0.08(1+0.08) ((1+0.08) –1) A = 575, 000 O A = 575, 000(1+0.08)°
John is a very cost-conscious investor. His rule of thumb is that it costs $300 per year, starting in the first year of vehicle life to maintain an automobile. This expense increases by $300 each year over the life of the car. John is now considering the purchase of a six-year old car with 40,000 miles on it for $7,000. How much money will John have to set aside now to pay for maintenance (as a lump sum) if he keeps this car for seven years? John's interest rate is 4% per year. Click the icon to view the interest and annuity table for discrete compounding when i = 4% per year. John will have to set aside $ to pay for maintenance. (Round to the nearest dollar.)
Three months ago, Jim purchased $11,000 of U.S. Treasury bonds. These bonds have a 30-year maturity period, and they pay dividends every three months at an APR of 17%. However, today's interest rates for similar securities have risen to a (17+1)%APR (compounded quarterly). In view of the interest-rate increase to (17+1)%, what is the current value of Jim's bonds today?

Problem 4: Today, you invest P100,000 into a fund that pays 25% interest compounded annually. Three years later, you borrow P50,000 from a bank at 20% annual interest and invest in the fund. Two years later, you withdraw enough money from the fund to repay the bank loan and all interest due on it. Three years from this withdrawal you start taking P20,000 per year out of the fund. After 5 withdrawals you withdraw the balance in the fund. How much was withdrawn?
