7. Your client is 40 years old; and she wants to begin saving for retirement, with the first payment to
come one year from now. She can save $5,000 per year; and you advise her to invest it in the stock
market, which you expect to provide an average return of 9% in the future.

b. How much will she have at 70?

c. She expects to live for 20 years if she retires at 65 and for 15 years if she retires at 70. If her

year after retirement at each retirement age?

8. Jan sold her house on December 31 and took a $10,000 mortgage as part of the payment. The 10-
year mortgage has a 10% nominal interest rate, but it calls for semiannual payments beginning next
June 30. Next year Jan must report on Schedule B of her IRS Form 1040 the amount of interest that was
included in the two payments she received during the year.

a. What is the dollar amount of each payment Jan receives?

b. How much interest was included in the first payment? How much repayment of principal was
included? How do these values change for the second payment?

c. How much interest must Jan report on Schedule B for the first year? Will her interest income be the
same next year?

d. If the payments are constant, why does the amount of interest income change over time?

9. You graduate from Hanoi University on your 25th birthday and you immediately find a job with a
starting salary of $80,000 per year. Your employment contract calls for salary increases of 5% per year.
You decide to put away 10% of your annual salary for your retirement, via end-of-year deposits. If you
retire on your 65th birthday (making your first deposit on your 26th birthday and your last deposit on
your 65th birthday) and the interest rate is 7% p.a., how much will you have saved when you retire?

10. You want to buy a car, and a local bank will lend you $20,000. The loan will be fully amortized over 5
years (60 months), and the nominal interest rate will be 12% with interest paid monthly. What will be the
monthly loan payment? What will be the loan’s EAR?

11. Bank A pays 4% interest compounded annually on deposits, while Bank B pays 3.5% compounded
daily.
a. Based on the EAR, which bank should you use?
b. Could your choice of banks be influenced by the fact that you might want to withdraw your
funds during the year as opposed to at the end of the year? Assume that your funds must be left
on deposit during an entire compounding period in order to receive any interest.

CHALLENGE. Erika and Kitty, who are twins, just received $30,000 each for their 25th birthday. They both
have aspirations to become millionaires. Each plans to make a $5,000 annual contribution to her “early
retirement fund” on her birthday, beginning a year from today. Erika opened an account with the Safety
First Bond Fund, a mutual fund that invests in high-quality bonds whose investors have earned 6% per
year in the past. Kitty invested in the New Issue Bio-Tech Fund, which invests in small, newly issued bio-
tech stocks and whose investors have earned an average of 20% per year in the fund’s relatively short
history.
a. If the two women’s funds earn the same returns in the future as in the past, how old will each
be when she becomes a millionaire?
b. How large would Erika’s annual contributions have to be for her to become a millionaire at the
same age as Kitty, assuming their expected returns are realized?
c. Is it rational or irrational for Erika to invest in the bond fund rather than in stocks?
