Chapter 1, Problem 5DTM

Using the present and future value tables in Appendix A, the appropriate calculations on the Garman/Forgue companion website, or a financial calculator, calculate the following:

  1. The amount a person would need to deposit today to be able to withdraw $6,000 each year for ten years from an account earning 6 percent.
  2. A person is offered a gift of $5,000 now or $8,000 five years from now. If such funds could be expected to earn 8 percent over the next five years, which is the better choice?
  3. A person wants to have $3,000 available to spend on an overseas trip four years from now. If such funds could be expected to earn 6 percent, how much should be invested in a lump sum to realize the $3,000 when needed?
  4. A person invests $50,000 in an investment that earns 6 percent. If $6,000 is withdrawn each year, how many years will it take for the fund to run out?
