To whom it may concerns,
Is my calculation of question A correct? For question B, can you guide me to the right direction about the constant value of consumption or give me an example? Thanks
Case:
Assume you have $1 million now, and you have just retired from your job. This would be your initial wealth, W0.
You expect to live for 20 years, and you want to have the same level of consumption for each of the 20 years, after adjusting for inflation. That is, you want to keep the same purchasing power of consumption for all 20 years. In the equation, this means that Ct will be constant in real dollars over the rest of your lifetime.
You also wish to leave the purchasing power equivalent of $100,000 today to your kids at the end of the 20 years as a bequest (or to pay them to take care of you). In real dollars, of course, since there is no inflation in real dollars, you will need to have $100,000 to give them at the end of the 20 years.
You expect real interest rates to stay at 5% per year. So, your savings account will earn 5% in real dollars over the next 20 years.
The Omar example in the textbook shows Omar's human capital through labour earnings, but our assignment problem does not have any labour earnings. You have already earned your retirement savings of $1 million.
The assignment problems will ask you to apply the formula to calculate the level of consumption that fits the intertemporal budget constraint, given assumptions about initial wealth and a planned bequest.
a. Calculate the present value of your bequest of $100,000 in real dollars.
PVfv=(100000,5%,20) = 37688.95
b. Determine the constant value of consumption that equates the value of your initial wealth on the right side of the equation with the total of consumption and your bequest.
i. The present value of consumption for all 20 years.
ii. Use that value to determine the annual consumption for each of the 20 years. This part is very similar to the last question on Assignment 1.
