Suppose a wealthy individual approaches you and says, “Because of your outstanding ability to manage money, I am prepared to present you with a tax-free gift of $1,000. If you prefer, however, I will postpone the presentation for a year, at which time I will guarantee that you will receive a tax-free gift of $X.” (For purposes of this example, assume that the guarantee is risk-free.) In other words, you can choose to receive $1,000 today or receive $X 1 year from today. Which would you choose if X equals (1) $1,000, (2) $1,050, (3) $1,100, (4) $1,500, (5) $2,000, (6) $5,000, (7) $10,000, (8) $100,000? Suppose the student is guaranteed to receive $1,100 one year from today, and nothing thereafter, if $1,000 is invested today in a particular venture. What is the return on the student’s investment?
I've got a quick question for you: I was contacted by a recruiter to take a Director position at a competitor, which will be a big step up for me in money and responsibility. It just seems like the right step. The starting salary is $90K. My question is will I still be able to make a deductible IRA contribution to my IRA with you? And regardless, can I even make one at all? You know I hate paying taxes.

- You currently pay $10,000 per year in rent to a landlord for a $100,000 house, which you are considering purchasing. You can qualify for a loan of $80,000 at 9% if you put $20,000 down on the house. To raise money for the down payment, you would have to liquidate stock earning you a 15% return. We neglect other concerns, like closing costs, capital gains, and tax consequences of owning.

- Utah Enterprises is considering buying a vacant lot that sells for $1.1 million. If the property is purchased, the company's plan is to spend another $5 million today (t = 0) to build a hotel on the property. The after-tax cash flows from the hotel will depend critically on whether the state imposes a tourism tax in this year's legislative session. If the tax is imposed, the hotel is expected to produce after-tax cash inflows of $550,000 at the end of each of the next 15 years, versus $1,100,000 if the tax is not imposed. The project has a 13% cost of capital. Assume at the outset that the company does not have the option to delay the project. Use decision-tree analysis to answer the following questions. What is the project's expected NPV if the tax is imposed? Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in millions. For example, an answer of $1.234 million should be entered as 1.234, not 1,234,000. Round your answer to three decimal places. Negative value, if any,…arrow_forwardA rich, friendly, and probably slightly unbalanced benefactor offers you the opportunity to invest $1 million today in two mutually exclusive ways. The payoffs are: $2 million after 1-year, a 100% return; or $300,000 a year forever. Neither investment is risky, and safe securities are yielding 7%. Which investment should you take? You can’t take both, so the choices are mutually exclusive. Should you want to earn a high percentage, or should you want to be rich? Applying the net present value method and the internal rate of return method should help to guide you in your decision. And, the present value of a perpetuity is equal to the cash payment divided by the interest rate. Earn a high percentage. Be rich.arrow_forwardA speculator has purchased land along the southern Oregon coast. He has taken a loan with the end-of-year payments of $7,600 for 8 years. The loan rate is 6%.
