Mr. Clive Man Chung HO

Question 1 (Chapter 5: Future Value)

You have just made your first 4,000 contribution to your retirement account.
Assuming you earn an 11% rate of return and make no additional contributions, what
will your account be worth when you retire in 45 years? What if you wait 10 years
before contributing?

Question 2 (Chapter 5: Present Value)

Suppose you have just celebrated your 19th birthday. A rich uncle has just set up a
trust fund for you that will pay you $150,000 when you turn 30. If the relevant rate of
return is 9%, how much is this fund worth today.

Question 3 (Chapter 5: Rate of Return)

Although appealing to more refined tastes, art as a collectible has not always
performed so profitably. During 2003, Sothebys sold the Edgar Degas bronze
sculpture Petite Damseuse de Quatorze Ans at auction for a price of $10,311,500.
Unfortunately for the previous owner, he had purchased it in 1999 at a price of
$12,377,500. What was his annual rate of return on this sculpture?

Question 4 (Chapter 5: Interest Rates and Future Value)

In 1895, the first U.S. Open Golf Championship was held. The winners prize money
was $150. In 2007, the winners check was $1,260,000. What was the percentage
increase per year in the winners check over this period? If the winners prize
increases at the same rate, what will it be in 2040?

Question 5 (Chapter 5: Present Value)

Prudential has an unfunded pension liability of $650 million that must be paid in 20
years. To assess the value of the firms stock, financial analysts want to discount this
liability back to the present. If the relevant interest rate is 7.4%, what is the present
value of this liability?

Lecture 3: Time Value of Money TVM (Chapter 5)

 Assumptions in Finance
Option (1): $1 billion now
Option (2): 50% chance of getting $0 and 50% chance of getting $2
billion now
As a rational investor, which choices would you pick? Risk-averse

 Drawing Timeline

 Present Value and Future Value

FV = PV (1+r)t
- Future Value Factor: (1+r)t
PV = FV/(1+r)t
Present Value (Discount) Factor = 1 / (1+r)t

 Relationship between PV, FV, Interest and Time

- Increasing interest rate and time increases FV
- Increasing interest rate and time decreases PV
