Keith Bowie is trying to determine the amount to set aside so that he will have enough money on hand in 2 years to overhaul the engine on his vintage used car. While there is some uncertainty about the cost of engine overhauls in 2 years, by conducting some research online, Keith has developed the following estimates. Engine Overhaul Probability Estimated Cash Outflow Assessment $200 10% 450 30% 600 50% 750 10%

Instructions How much should Keith Bowie deposit today in an account earning 6%, compounded annually, so that he will have enough money on hand in 2 years to pay for the overhaul?

Presented below are three unrelated situations.

(a) Dwayne Wade Company recently signed a lease for a new office building, for a lease period of 10 years.

What amount will the company receive at the time the lease expires?

(b) Serena Williams Corporation, having recently issued a \)20 million, 15-year bond issue, is committed to make annual sinking fund deposits of \(600,000. The deposits are made on the last day of each year and yield a return of 10%. Will the fund at the end of 15 years be sufficient to retire the bonds? If not, what will the deficiency be?

(c) Under the terms of his salary agreement, president Rex Walters has an option of receiving either an immediate bonus of \)55,000, or a deferred bonus of $70,000 payable in 10 years. Ignoring tax considerations and assuming a relevant interest rate of 4%, which form of settlement should Walters accept?

Using the appropriate interest table, provide the solution to each of the following four questions by computing the unknowns.

(a) What is the amount of the payments that Ned Winslow must make at the end of each of 8 years to accumulate a fund of \(90,000 by the end of the eighth year, if the fund earns 8% interest, compounded annually?

(b) Robert Hitchcock is 40 years old today and he wishes to accumulate \)500,000 by his sixty-fifth birthday so he can retire to his summer place on Lake Hopatcong. He wishes to accumulate this amount by making equal deposits on his fortieth through his sixty-fourth birthday. What annual deposit must Robert make if the fund will earn 8% interest compounded annually?

(c) Diane Ross has \(20,000 to invest today at 9% to pay a debt of \)47,347. How many years will it take her to accumulate enough to liquidate the debt?

(d) Cindy Houston has a \(27,600 debt that she wishes to repay 4 years from today; she has \)19,553 that she intends to invest for the 4 years. What rate of interest will she need to earn annually in order to accumulate enough to pay the debt?

Question: Explain how the future value of an ordinary annuity interest table is converted to the future value of an annuity due interest table.
