Use the CF register to find the NPV of the 4 known cash flows, CF0 to CF3: $12,444.75Step 2. Find the FV of this NPV at the end of period 3, i.e., compound the NPV you found for 3 years. $15,676.80Step 3. Now find the PMT for a 4-year annuity with this PV. $4,733.15 168. Scott and Linda have been saving to pay for their daughter Casie's college education. Casie just turned 10 at (t = 0), and she will be entering college 8 years from now (at t = 8). College tuition and expenses at State U. are currently $14,500 a year, but they are expected to increase at a rate of 3.5% a year. Ellen should graduate in 4 yearsif she takes longer or wants to go to graduate school, she will be on her own. Tuition and other costs will be due at the beginning of each school year (at t = 8, 9, 10, and 11).So far, Scott and Linda have accumulated $15,000 in their college savings account (at t = 0). Their long-run financial plan is to add an additional $5,000 in each of the next 4 years (at t = 1, 2, 3, and 4). Then they plan to make 3 equal annual contributions in each of the following years, t = 5, 6, and 7. They expect their investment account to earn 9%. How large must the annual payments at t = 5, 6, and 7 be to cover Casie's anticipated college costs?a. $1,965.21b. $2,068.64c. $2,177.51d. $2,292.12e. $2,412.76ANS: EThis is a very difficult problem. It should only be used as a take-home assignment.Current college cost/year $14,500College cost inflation 3.5%Return on investment account 9.0%Payments at t = 1, 2, 3, and 4 $5,000Account balance at t = 0 $15,0001. Determine the cost of each year during college and its PV at t = 8, discounted at the return on investment. Cost PV at t = 8Year 1 (t = 8) = Current cost (1 + infl)8 = 19,093.73 19,093.73Year 2 (t = 9) = Prior year (1 + infl) = 19,762.01 18,130.29Year 3 (t = 10) = Prior year (1 + infl) = 20,453.68 17,215.45Year 4 (t = 11) = Prior year (1 + infl) = 21,169.56 16,346.79Find PV (at t = 8) of all college costs = amount needed at t = 8: 70,786.262. Create a time line with those cash flows, plus the known initial CFs, as shown below. Put X in for the unknown values for t = 57. We show the time line on two sets of rows. Ours now has the solution value, but it didn't originally.
