Q

Jim and Betty plan to retire in 10 years. Currently they have saved enough to provide $60,000 retirement income at the end of each year when they retire. They feel that they could live on $100,000 per year income at the end of each year when they retire. They assume that they can earn a 6% real after-tax return on their investments. Upon retirement, they expect to live for 25 years. How much must they save at the end of each year prior to retirement to reach their goal?

A

Shortfall of $40,000 per year for 25 years, discount rate 6%
Step 1:
- PMT 40,000
- N 25
- I/Y 6
- FV 0
CPT PV = 511,334

Step 2:
- FV 511,334
- N 10
- I/Y 6
- PV 0
- CPT PMT = 38,794

Q

Interest Rate Differential
= Outstanding mortgage balance * Differential rate * Time remaining

A

Example:

$250,000 on mortgage, 2 years remaining on the term, interest rate of 4.5%

New two-year rate is 3%

  1. Three months’ interest
    = $250,000 *4.5% * (3months/ 12months)
    = $11,250 * 0.25
    = $2,812.50
  2. IRD
    = $250,000 *(4.5% - 3%) * 2 years remaining
    = $250,000 *1.5% *2
    = $7,500

Q

Mr. and Mrs. want to set up a college fund for their son’s post-secondary education. They estimated tuition cost commencing 18 years from now is $30,000 per year. Assuming that a university degree takes 4 years to complete and that the discount rate and real after-tax return is 7.5% p.a., how much will they have to contribute on an annual basis to the fund in order to achieve their goal. Their contributions will be at year end.

A

First determine what lump sum is necessary to produce an income of $30,000 per year for 4 years. The money will be needed at the begining of the year.

Step 1:
Begin mode
30,000 PMT
4 N
7.5 I/Y
0 FV
CPT PV = -108,015.77

Step 2:
End mode
108,015.77 FV
18 N

Q

Interest rates are currently at 4% and the inflation rate is currently at 1.5%. What is the real rate of return?

Real rate of return = (Nominal rate - Inflation rate) / (1 + Inflation rate)

= (4% - 1.5%) / (1 + 1.5%) = 2.46%

Q

Bart earns a 13% annual yield on a bond. The CPI year over year went from 152 to 155. Bart has a marginal tax rate of 40%. What is real after-tax return?

A

Inflation rate = (Current CPI - Previous CPI) / Previous CPI
= (155 - 152) / 152 = 1.97%

After tax return = 13% x (1-0.4) = 7.8%

Real after-tax return = (7.8% - 1.97%) / (1+1.97%) = 5.7174%

Q

Annie wants to obtain a mortgage. She can afford a maximum $2500 mortgage payment per month; payable at the beginning of each month. She is quoted an 8% annual mortgage rate, with semi-annual compoundings and monthly payments at the beginning of each month. What maximum mortgage amount can Annie afford based on the above terms and a 25 year amortization period?

A

Step 1:
Determine the monthly mortgage rate, for semi-annual compoundnig:

Semi annual mortgage rate = 8% / 2 = 0.04

Monthly mortgage rate = [ (1 + 0.04) ^ 2/12 ] - 1
= 1.04 ^ 0.16667 - 1 = 0.6558%

Step 2:
Calculate present value

2500 ± PMT
300 N (25*12)
0.6558 I/Y
0 FV
CPT PV = 329,717
