Question
U.S. Census Bureau statistics show that the annual earnings for persons with a high
school diploma are $35, 220 versus $57, 925 for someone with a bachelor’s degree. If the cost of
attending college is assumed to be $35, 000 per year for 4 years and the forgone earnings during
those years are assumed to be $35, 220 per year, what rate of return does earning a bachelor’s degree
represent? Use a 25-year study period. In your analysis, you are expected to: (i) Use Excel to
display the cash flow; (ii) Draw a Cash Flow Diagram; (iii) Use Excel to compute the internal rate
of return of the CFD. (Hint: The investment in years 1 through 4 is the cost of college plus the
foregone earnings, and the income in years 5 through 25 is the difference in income between a high
school diploma and a bachelor’s degree.)
