Alex meir recently won a lottery and has the option of receiving one of the following three prizes: (1) $62,000 cash immediately, (2) $19,000 cash immediately and a six-period annuity of $7,600 beginning one year from today, or (3) a six-period annuity of $12,500 beginning one year from today. (fv of $1, pv of $1, fva of $1, pva of $1, fvad of $1 and pvad of $1) (use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) 1. assuming an interest rate of 6%, determine the present value for the above options. which option should alex choose? 2. the weimer corporation wants to accumulate a sum of money to repay certain debts due on december 31, 2030. weimer will make annual deposits of $110,000 into a special bank account at the end of each of 10 years beginning december 31, 2021. assuming that the bank account pays 7% interest compounded annually, what will be the fund balance after the last payment is made on december 31, 2030?

Explanation:

We must find the option with the greatest net present value (NPV).

1) The NPV is $62,000

2) First, you must calculate the NPV with the formula attached, for example:

NVP= ($7,600/(1+6%)^1)+($7,600/(1+6%^2)+($7,600/(1+6%^3)... and so on until year 6

With the excel formula "NPV" you can calculate the net present value specifying the interest rate, the cash flows.

NPV= $37,371.66

The TOTAL NPV= $19,000+$37,371.66= $56,371.66

3) NVP= ($12,500/(1+6%)^1)+($12,500/(1+6%^2)+($12,500/(1+6%^3)... and so on until year 6

NPV= $61,466.55

The best option is option 1.

Question 2.

We must use the compound interest formula:

Final Capital (FC)= Initial Capital (IC)*[(1+interest(i))]^(number of periods(n))

In Dec 31, 2022:

FC= $110,000*(1+7%)^1

FC=$117,000

Balance in Dec 31,2022 = $117,000+$110,000=$227,000

In Dec 31,2023

FC= $227,000*(1+7%)^1

FC= $243,639

Balance in Dec 31,2023= $243,639+$110,000= $353,639

And so on until 2030

If the Weimer corporation makes the last payment in 2030;

The balance in Dec,31 2030= $1,409,809+$110,000= $1,519,809

forbearance of student loan payments. under forbearance, your loan payments are postponed (or reduced) but interest continues to accrue during the period of forbearance. if you don't pay the interest during that period, the interest may be “capitalized,” which means it is added to your principal balance.
