21) You are considering purchasing common stock in AMZ Corporation. You anticipate that the company will pay dividends of $5.00 per share next year and $7.50 per share in the following year. You also believe that you can sell the common stock two years from now for $30.00 per share. If you require a 14% rate of return on this investment, what is the maximum price that you would be willing to pay for a share of AMZ common stock?

23) You are planning to deposit $10,000 today into a bank account. Five years from today you expect to withdraw $7,500. If the account pays 5% interest per year, how much will remain in the account eight years from today? Round to the nearest dollar.

24) Suppose you are 40 years old and plan to retire in exactly 20 years. 21 years from now you will need to withdraw $5,000 per year from a retirement fund to supplement your social security payments. You expect to live to the age of 85. How much money should you place in the retirement fund each year for the next 20 years to reach your retirement goal if you can earn 12% interest per year from the fund?

Answer:  Using a financial calculator N=25, i=12, PMT=5000, PV=39,215.70=s the amount in fund at age 60.

To find the annual contribution, n=20, i=12,PV=0, FV=39215.70, solve for PMT=-544.27, so

Annual contribution = $544.27

25) An investment will pay $500 in three years, $700 in five years, and $1,000 in nine years. If the opportunity rate is 6%, what is the present value of this investment?

PV = $500(1/(1.06)3) + $700(1/1.06)5) + $1000(1/(1.06)9)

PV = $500(.840) + $700(.747) + $1000(.592)

= $420.00 + $522.90 + $592.00

26) What is the value (price) of a bond that pays $400 semiannually for 10 years and returns $10,000 at the end of 10 years? The market discount rate is 10% paid semiannually.

Answer:  Using a financial calculator N=20, i=5, PMT=400, FV=10000, solve for PV=-5361.77 or $5,361.77

27) The expected after-tax cash flow from an investment property that you are considering is

At the end of year 3 you expect to sell the property for $400,000.  If the appropriate discount rate is 12%, what is the most you should pay for this property?
