Discussion topic:
On occasion, you'll run into situations where you need to combine TVM tools. Let's take a look at a situation we can all relate to-retirement planning. Suppose you want to retire in 30 years with enough saved to earn $50,000 per year for 25 years. Presume that you have not yet saved anything toward retirement. Your plan is to make equal contributions over the next 30 years to a retirement account that will earn 8% per year. How would you go about figuring out how much your annual payments need to be to achieve your retirement savings goal?
We will soon notice that the problem posed here seems to have just one answer. Recognizing that you will want to do some original thinking on this, please revise the variables in the problem posed above to ones that are most relevant to you, a relative or a friend.
Or randomly choose from the following options:
Suppose you want to retire in (choose 1: 10 - 20 - 30) years with enough saved to earn (choose 1: $30K - $50K - $70K) per year for 15 - 25 - 35 years. Presume that you have not saved anything [OR have saved $100K] towards retirement yet. Your plan is to make equal contributions over the next (choose 1: 10 - 20 - 30) years to a retirement account that will earn (choose 1: 5 - 8 - 10) percent per year.
List your variables and report back how much you have to have saved in FV terms, as well as how much you'll need to save in each of the next x years.
NOTE: For the moment please do not complicate your thinking and calculations by trying to take inflation into account. First we want to make sure you understand how to combine use of these formulas successfully without worrying about inflation. Later in the course after many of you have posted we can have some discussion on how to account for inflation.
What is creativity
: After you complete the survey, examine your results, answer the questions about your experience and list 3-5 things that you learned about yourself, using a separate paragraph for each observation. Are you creative? Could you be, or have you eve..

Small and unknown firm
: Because it's a relatively small and unknown firm, its liquidity risk premium is about 1.8% even on relatively short debt like this. What pure interest rate is implied by these assumptions? Round your answer to one decimal place.

What determines one sexual orientation
: Why is it important to understand what determines one's sexual orientation? Consider ethical, legal, and social implications. If you do not think it is important to understand the origins, please explain.

Explain the process of coagulation relating to water
: Explain the process of coagulation and flocculation relating to water. Explain the process of filtration systems from waterborne illnesses. What is cholera? How is one exposed to it and where can it be found?

What factors affect language acquisition
: What factors affect language acquisition? Which factor do you believe has the largest influence on language acquisition? Why? When we do perceive mispronunciations correctly, is that learned or innate?

What is the growth rate of stock dividends
: The current dividend for Company Y's stock is $3.20/per share. The current Company Y's stock price is $21.25/per share. Suppose this stock's discount rate is the same as that in question a) of problem 3. What is the growth rate of this stock's div..
