The tuition and needed books for a master's program will have an upfront cost of $51,000. If she enrolls in an MBA program, Jenny will quit her current job, which pays $50,000 per year after taxes (for simplicity, treat any lost earnings as part of the upfront cost). On average, a person with an MBA degree earns an extra $21,000 per year (after taxes) over a business career of 39 years. Jenny believes that her opportunity cost of capital is 5.3%. Given herestimates, find the net present value (NPV) of entering this MBA program. Are the benefits of further education worth the associated costs? The net present value (NPV) of entering this MBA program is Are the benefits of further education worth the associated costs?

He currently earns $40,000 per year and expects to continue earning that amount for the rest of his working life (until age 65). He will give up his income for two years and will pay $20,000 per year in tuition, if he attends business school. In exchange, he expects a raise in his salary after completing his MFM. Assume that the post-graduation salary grows at a 5% annual rate and that the discount rate is 8%. What is the minimum expected starting salary after graduation for him that makes attending business school a positive-NPV investment? (Assuming that all cash flows happen at the end of each year.) 2.

- Consider the following scenario in relation to your Notary, Loan Signing Agent and Marriage officiant practice in Hawaii and determine the opportunity cost of leaving your job to become an entrepreneur. You currently make $90,000 per year at your job plus benefits (equal to 30% of your salary). On January 1 of the New Year, you start your own business. After the first year, your accountant informs you that you made $45,000 and out of that you paid $6,000 for health insurance. What was your opportunity cost? If your opportunity cost is higher than you would like, how can you lower your opportunity cost in the future years?Suppose that, at age 30, you might wish to leave your job and pursue a master’s degree. If you choose to remain at your job, your employer would pay you $74k per year until retirement, at age 55. If you go back to the university, you would have to sacrifice 2 years of income, but once you graduate, you would receive $117k per year until you retire at age 55. The master’s program you are interested in costs $22k per year. Note: The term “k” is used to represent thousands (× $1,000). Required: At an opportunity cost of 8%, determine the percentage difference between your most and least profitable alternatives, with the least profitable option as the basis for your calculation.Answer% Intermediate calculations must be rounded to 3 decimal places (at least). Input your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places (for example: 28.31%).1. Jackie has just finished high school. She will live for two more periods, and she needs to choose a career path.

After graduation, how long will it take you to earn back that money?Assume that you have just turned 21, are graduating from college, and are planning for your retirement; at age 55. You currently have no money saved, but plan to make significant investments into a retirement account now that you have gotten a high-paying job. Because of moving and additional expenses associated with the start of your new job, you believe that you will only be able to invest $2,000 on your 22nd and 23rd birthdays (2 payments). You then expect to invest $10,000 each year on your 24th through your 30th birthdays (7 payments), $20,000 each year on your 31st through 40th birthdays (10 payments), and $30,000 each year on your 41st through 55th birthdays (15 payments). During this 34-year period you are willing to take some investment risks and you believe that your investment account can earn a nominal annual rate of return of 9 percent, compounded monthly. At age 55 you plan to retire and will use the money in your investment account to buy a 40-year, guaranteed annuity…Michiko and Saul are planning to attend the same university next year.
