Suppose you collect old coins. Today you have two coins, each of which is valued at $100. One coin is expected to increase in value by 5.6 percent annually, while the other coin is expected to increase in value by 4.8 percent annually. What will be the difference in the value of the two coins 25 years from now?
Suppose the value of a new financial security increases with time, such that one dollar of the financial currency at year 0 is worth V(t) = exp{2/t-0.15f} dollars at time t. If the interest rate is 10 percent, after how many years should the financial asset be sold in order to maximize the PDV of the sale? (NOTE: Write your answer in number format, with 2 decimal places of precision level; do not write your answer as a fraction. Add a leading zero and trailing zeros when needed. Use a period for the decimal separator and a comma to separate groups of thousands.)
