Characters in the case:
- Company CW: Investment firm
- Person P: Founder of Company CW
- Person J: New employee
- Company C: The potential investment

1) Assume you start an investment account by purchasing international corporate
stocks with $1,000 now, $1,500 at the end of year 3, and $500 at the end of
each year in years 4 through 10. How much money would you have in the
account immediately after the last deposit in year 10 if the interest rate is 6%
per year? Solve using (a) Tabulated factors, and (b) Spreadsheet.
Stock returns and your retirement account: Suppose your retirement accounthas a balance today of $25,000 and you are 20 years old. If you are investedin a diversifed portfolio of stocks, you might hope that the historical returnof about 6% continues into the future. Consider how the balance in yourretirement account evolves as you age under the diferent assumptions below.(If you like, use a spreadsheet program to help you with this question.)(a) Compute the balance in your retirement account when you will be 25,30, 40, 50, and 65 years old assuming the average annual rate of return is6%. Assume there are no deposits or withdrawals in this account, so theoriginal balance just accumulates.(b) Do the same thing for rate of return of 5% and 7%. How sensitive is thecalculation to the rate of return?(c) Plot your retirement account balance for these three scenarios (6%, 5%,7%) on a standard scale.(d) Do the same thing with a ratio scale.
Assume you deposit $1,000 in your savings account. Performance a sensitivity analysis
on the relationship between future value at the end of year 10 and interest rate. Plot the
relationship on a chart and label the graph clearly

Expected dividends as a basis for stock values The following graph shows the value of a stock's dividends over time. The stock's current dividend is $1.00 per share, and dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 3.50% per year.
