Example 3.15 Handling Time Shifts: Find F, Given i, A, and N

❑ Given: A = $3,000, N = 10
years, and i = 7% per year

❑ Find: F

o Each payment has been shifted to one year


earlier, thus each payment would be compounded
❑ Excel Solution: for one extra year

Example 3.17 Comparison of Three Different Investment Plans

Consider three investment


plans at an annual interest
rate of 8% :
• Investor A. Invest $2,000 per
year for the first 10 years of
your career. At the end of 10
years, make no further
investments, but reinvest the
amount accumulated at the
end of 10 years for the next 31
years.
• Investor B. Do nothing for the
first 10 years. Then start
investing $2,000 per year for
the next 31 years.
• Investor C. Invest $2,000 per
year for the entire 41 years.

Example 3.18 Uniform Series: Find A, Given P, i, and N
BioGen Company, a small biotechnology firm, has borrowed $250,000 to purchase laboratory
equipment for gene splicing. The loan carries an interest rate of 8% per year and is to be repaid
in equal installments over the next six years. Compute the amount of the annual installment.

❑ Given: P = $250,000, N = 6 yrs,  Capital Recovery Factor


and i = 8% per year
❑ Find: A
❑ Formula to use:

❑ Excel Solution:

Example 3.19 – Deferred Loan Repayment
Suppose that BioGen wants to negotiate with the bank to defer the first loan repayment until the
end of year 2 (but still desires to make six equal installments at 8% interest). If the bank wishes to
earn the same profit, what should be the annual installment, also known as deferred annuity.

❑ Given: P = $250,000, N = 6
years, and i = 8% per year, but
the first payment occurs at the
end of year 2
❑ Find: A
❑Step 1: Find the equivalent
amount of borrowing at the end
of year 1:

❑ Step 2: Use the capital


recovery factor to find the size
of annual installment:

Chapter
Opening Story
—Take a Lump
Sum or Annual
Installments
❑Mr. Robert Harris won a lottery
worth $275 million.

❑ He had two options:


❑ Option 1: Take a smaller
cash payment of $167M.
❑ Option 2: Take an annuity
payment of $10.57M a year
for 26 years.

❑ Mr. Harris took Option 1. What


basis do we compare these two
payment options?
What can we say about Mr. Harris’
decision?
