 CHAPTER 7: THE TIME VALUE OF MONEY

Instructor’s Manual Problem Set

1. Using the Retirement Worksheet example (Exhibit 7-8) from Chapter 7 in the text, calculate
the following:

a. Assume that your employer will raise your annual wage every year by at least the rate of
inflation so that your retirement savings can also increase proportionally. Use the formula of the
future value of a graduated annuity to determine the first year of required annual investment.

b. To illustrate the importance of the return on your investment, set us a scenario analysis that
shows your investment required today, the annual investment required, and the first annual
investment required considering savings as graduate annuities. Assume four scenarios where
your rate of return before retirement is 5%, 7%, 10%, and 17%. What these results suggest you
about the importance of financial literacy?

Possible Answer: The higher the average rate of return, the lower your savings and the greater
the probability that you will be able of keep your standard of living at retirement. Of course, only
knowledgeable investors can achieve high rates of return according to the investment horizon
and their particular financial goals.

c. To illustrate the impact of time, repeat the same scenario analysis as in part b but assuming
that the number of years until retirement is 20, 30 and 40 with the corresponding years in
retirement of 30, 20 and 15 respectively. What these results suggest you about your probable age
for retirement?
344 CHAPTER 7: THE TIME VALUE OF MONEY
IM Problem Set & Solutions

Possible Answer: The results clearly suggest that the longer you invest, the more you can save
for retirement.

d. To illustrate the impact of the economy in the whole process, repeat the same scenario analysis
as in part b but assuming that the rate of inflation gets out of control, so you will consider four
scenarios with 7%, 5%, 3%, and 2% rate of inflation. What these results suggest you the impact
of the monetary policy in your retirement plans?

Possible Answer: The results clearly show the significant impact of the monetary policy at
personal level. Whether or not you will retire comfortably will depend primarily on you, but also
in the right or wrong monetary policy decisions of the Federal Reserve.

2. You are planning to buy a new house. You currently have $15K and your bank told you that
you would need a 15% down payment plus an additional 4% in closing costs. If the house that
you want to buy costs about $150K and you can make a 7% annual return on your investment,
determine the following:

a. When you will have enough money for the down payment and closing costs assuming that the
$15K is the only investment that you make?

c. Assume that five years later the house still has the same price and that you can get a 15-year
mortgage from your bank at a fixed rate of 4.5%, what will be the monthly payments of the loan?
How much you have to pay the bank every year? What is the total interest over the term of the
loan? How much do you pay on interest and principal the first monthly payment? How much in
the 50th month? (Hint: use the IPMT and PPMT functions)

your monthly savings?

3. You want to buy a house, but you still need to pay your car loan of $15,000 over the next 3
years. Your annual income is $50,000 and the bank estimates that your monthly mortgage
payments should not represent more than 28% of your monthly income. You have decided to use
that percentage of your current income to repay your car loan and to save for the down payment
in the house. In this way you will adjust your current monthly expenses to be ready to make the
same monthly payments for 30 years. You estimate that you can get a fixed interest rate of 6.5%
on a 15-year mortgage. Closing mortgage costs are estimated to be 3% of the loan value and you
can invest at an average rate of 5%. If the interest on the automobile loan is 8%, determine the
following:

5 $10,000
a. Should the company acquire the new equipment if it can make a rate of return of 12% on all its
investments?

Worksheet:

Formulas:

Possible answer: Since the $116,268.65 present value of the savings are lower than the $120,000
cost of the new equipment, the firm should not invest in the new equipment.

b. Should the company acquire the new equipment if it can make a rate of return of 9% on all its
investments?
