e.  The present value is the value today of a sum of money to be received in the future. For example, the value today of $1,552.90 to be received 10 years in the future is about $500 at an interest rate of 12%, but it is approximately $867 if the interest rate is 6%. Therefore, if you had $500 today and invested it at 12%, you would end up with $1,552.90 in 10 years. The present value depends on the interest rate because the interest rate determines the amount of interest you forgo by not having the money today.

PV = ?  100  400  400  400  300  PV = ?  300  400  400  400  100
With a financial calculator, simply enter the cash flows (be sure to enter CF0 = 0), enter I/YR = 8, and press the NPV key to find NPV = PV = $1,251.25 for the first problem. Override I/YR = 8 with I/YR = 0 to find the next PV for Cash Stream A. Repeat for Cash Stream B to get NPV = PV = $1,300.32.
 
b.  PVA = $100 + $400 + $400 + $400 + $300 = $1,600.
 
PVB = $300 + $400 + $400 + $400 + $100 = $1,600.
2-22  a.  This can be done with a calculator by specifying an interest rate of 5% per period for 20 periods with 1 payment per period.
 
N = 10 2 = 20, I/YR = 10/2 = 5, PV = -10000, FV = 0. Solve for PMT = $802.43.
 

b.  Set up an amortization table:


 Beginning      Payment of  Ending
Period   Balance  Payment  Interest   Principal  Balance
1  $10,000.00  $802.43  $500.00  $302.43  $9,697.57
2  9,697.57  802.43   484.88  317.55  9,380.02
     $984.88
 
Because the mortgage balance declines with each payment, the portion of the payment that is applied to interest declines, while the portion of the payment that is applied to principal increases. The total payment remains constant over the life of the mortgage.
 
c.  Jan must report interest of $984.88 on Schedule B for the first year. Her interest income will decline in each successive year for the reason explained in part b.
 
d.  Interest is calculated on the beginning balance for each period, as this is the amount the lender has loaned and the borrower has borrowed. As the loan is amortized (paid off), the beginning balance, hence the interest charge, declines and the repayment of principal increases.
2-30  a.  Using the information given in the problem, you can solve for the length of time required to reach $1 million.
 
Erika: I/YR = 6; PV = 30000; PMT = 5000; FV = -1000000; and then solve for N = 38.742182. Therefore, Erika will be 25 + 38.74 = 63.74 years old when she becomes a millionaire.
 
Kitty: I/YR = 20; PV = 30000; PMT = 5000; FV = -1000000; and then solve for N = 16.043713. Therefore, Kitty will be 25 + 16.04 = 41.04 years old when she becomes a millionaire.
 
b.  Using the 16.0437 year target, you can solve for the required payment:
N = 16.0437; I/YR = 6; PV = 30000; FV = -1000000; then solve for PMT = $35,825.33.
 
If Erika wishes to reach the investment goal at the same time as Kitty, she will need to contribute $35,825.33 per year.
 
c.  Erika is investing in a relatively safe fund, so there is a good chance that she will achieve her goal, albeit slowly. Kitty is investing in a very risky fund, so while she might do quite well and become a millionaire shortly, there is also a good chance that she will lose her entire investment. High expected returns in the market are almost always accompanied by a lot of risk. We couldn’t say whether Erika is rational or irrational, just that she seems to have less tolerance for risk than Kitty does.
