You are managing an investment portfolio and sell an “inflation-protected” annuity that pays $3,862 per month (in real terms) for 7 years, starting next month. You forecast that inflation will be 0.45% per month over the 7 years. If you earn 4.17% APR (monthly compounding) nominal terms on your investments, how much do you need to invest today to fully fund the annuity?

An investment offers $966 per year for 11 years, with the first payment occurring Zyears from now. If the required return is 9 percent, what is the value of the investment? (HINT: Remember that when you calculate the PV of the annuity, the claculator gives you the present value of the annuity 1 period before the annuity starts. So if the annuity starts in year 7, that calculator will to give you the persent value of annuity in year 6. Now you have to bring this number to period O by inputting: N=6 (1 period before the annuity starts, in your case it would be a different number depending when your annuity starts) R=9 FV=Present value of annuity you found in step 1. And you solve for PV)

You have just received a windfall from an investment you made in a friend's business. She will be paying you $26,016 at the end of this year, $52,032 at the end of next year, and $78,048 at the end of the year after that (three years from today).

An investment promises to pay $7,000 at the end of each year for the next six years and $3,000 at the end of each year for years 7 through 10. Use Table II and Table IV or a financial calculator to answer the questions. Round your answers to the nearest cent. If you require a 15 percent rate of return on an investment of this sort, what is the maximum amount you would pay for this investment?$   Assuming that the payments are received at the beginning of each year, what is the maximum amount you would pay for this investment, given a 15 percent required rate of return?$

You are trying to value the following investment opportunity: The investment will cost you $22151 today. In exchange for your investment you will receive monthly cash payments of $5195 for 9 months. The first payment will occur at the end of the first month. The applicable effective annual interest rate for this investment opportunity is 7%. Calculate the NPV of this investment opportunity. Round to two decimals (do not include the $-sign in your answer).

You want to begin saving for your retirement. You plan to contribute $12,000 to the account at the end of this year.  You anticipate you will be able to increase your annual contributions by 3% each year for the next 45 years.  If your expected annual return is 8%, how much do you expect to have in your retirement account when you retire in 45 years?

Assuming you bought a 182-day Treasury Bill with a face value GH¢20,000.00 and held it for 45 days. If you want to sell it and interest rate is currently at 25%, at what price will you sell it? A Treasurer buys a 6-month CD issued by a top-class bank with a tenor of 180 days at a yield of 16%. The face value at issue is GH¢10m.
