Answer:
If Jenny doesn’t earn any interest on her savings and wants to perfectly smooth consumption across her life, how much will she consume every year?
Jenny's total income during her life = income as tax analyst ($60,000 x 10) + income as PhD student ($12,000 x 5) + income as Art Director (35 x $95,000) = $3,985,000
she generated income during 50 years and expects to live 20 more, so in order to perfectly smooth consumption across her life, she must divide her total life income by 70 years = $3,985,000 / 70 years = $56,928.57 per year
What might prevent her from perfectly smoothing consumption?
First of all, besides inflation, you also earn interest on your savings. That is why 401k and other retirement accounts work so well (the magic of compound interest). Even if inflation and interests didn't exist, you cannot know exactly what you are going to earn in the future and for how many years. In this case, she earned $60,000 for 10 years, but then earned only $12,000 during 5 years. If she really wanted to smooth her consumption, she would have needed to get a loan because her savings during the first 10 years wouldn't be enough.

Answer: -$20,529.60
Explanation:
Net Present value of Y = Present Value of Inflows - Present value of Outflows
Present Value of Y inflows
$32,000 inflows for 5 years. This is therefore an annuity
Present value of annuity = Annuity * Present value interest factor, 9%, 5 years
= 32,000 * 3.8897
= $124,470.40
Net Present Value = 124,470.40 - 145,000
= -$20,529.60
Answer:
The answer is:
In general, you will receive higher rates of interest on your certificate of deposit the longer the maturity and the higher the dollar amount invested.
Explanation:
Interest rates are returns that an investor receive from their investment (under this situation - investment in certificate of deposit (CD)).
The higher the risk, the higher the return is required to compensate for the risk-taking of investor.
As long time commitment, that is long maturity, gives the investor higher exposure to risk and higher invested amount resulting to higher loss given default; investors will require higher return, that is - interest rate on CD, to compensate for their risk-taking.
Thus, longer and higher should be the correct choice to fill in the blank.
