Answer:

$855,903.20

Explanation:

Real discounting rate=> i= [i'-f]/[1+f]. Where i is the real interest rate. i' is the nominal interest rate which is given as 5% and f is the rate of inflation

i = (5%-3%)/1+3%)

i = 2/1.3

i = 1.94%

Her after tax earnings = 45,000*(1-0.15) = $38,250

Personal consumption = 25% of this, 38,250*0.75 = $28,688.

We are discounting her earnings back 45 years at 1.94%. The equation will be: 28,688 * {1-(1+0.01940)^-45} / {0.01940}

= 28,688 * {1 - 0.42120322099] / 0.01940

= 28,688 * 29.83488551597938

= 855903.1956824165

= $855,903.20

So, the amount of life insurance necessary for Jenny using the Human Life Value method is $855,903.20

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Current bond price  is $891.74

Explanation:

Coupon rate: 7%

Tenor (Nper): 13 years

Par value: $1,000

YTM (discounting rate): 8.4%

Coupon received annually (PMT) = $1,000 * 7% = $70

Current bond price  = present value of coupon received annually + present value of bond

To calculate PV of coupon received, we use excel in formula PV(discounting rate ,Nper,- PMT) = PV(8.4%,13,-70) = $541.30

or calculate manually = 70/(1+8.4%)^13+70/(1+8.4%)^12+…..+70/(1+8.4%)^1 =  $541.30

present value of bond = 1000/(1+8.4%)^13 = $350.44

Current bond price   = $541.30 + $350.44 = $891.74

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

The NPV = $1578.185602 rounded off to $1578.19

As the NPV is positive, the project should be accepted.

Explanation:

The Net Present Value or NPV is a tool used to evaluate projects. It is used with various other tools to decide whether to undertake a project or not. To calculate the Net Present Value or NPV, we take the present value of the cash inflows provided by the project and deduct the initial cost of the project.  If the NPV is positive, we should proceed with the project and vice versa.

NPV = CF1 / (1+r)  +  CF2 / (1+r)^2  +  ...  + CFn / (1+r)^n  -  Initial Cost

Where,

  • CF1, CF2, ... represents cash flow in Year 1, Year 2 and so on.
  • r is the required rate of return

NPV = 3200 / (1+0.17)  +  3200 (1+0.17)^2  +  3200 (1+0.17)^3  +  

3200 (1+0.17)^4  +  5700 (1+0.17)^5  -  9800

NPV = $1578.185602 rounded off to $1578.19
