Please calculate the present value as follows: For #3 you will have three calculations: 1. PV assuming a 2.0% inflation rate (general inflation) 2. PV assuming a 2.5% inflation rate (compensation) 3. PV assuming a 2.6% inflation rate (medical) Once you set-up the excel model I provided with $100,000 per year – you simply need to change the cell with the inflation assumption. Please copy the the Excel tab for each homework problem (keep as one file) and submit the Excel file with your homework. It is key you can use Excel and perform these basic calculations. For #4 use the appropriate inflation rate based on the questions – 4a and 4b you would use compensation inflation.
