This paper solves questions on the Time Value of Money)

1. You would like to take a cruise in six years. The cruise currently costs $4,250. You expect the price to increase by 4% annually. You can earn 5% on your savings. How much do you need to save at the end of each month so you can afford your cruise in six years?

Current Cost of Cruise: $ 4,250

Price Increase Per Year: 4% or 0.04

Cost after 6 Years: 4250 x (1.04)6

= 4250 x 1.2563

= $ 5,339.27

Savings Rate = 5% = 0.05

The question as to how much would one need to save per month so that they can afford a cruise of $5,339.27 in 6 years is the same as asking: What amount of money per month would one have to invest @5% in order to save $ 5,339.27 in 6 years.

2. You invest $250 in your savings account at the end of each year and earn an average of 6% per year in interest. How much will you have in your savings account at the end of forty years?

Rate of Interest = 6% or 0.06

Savings after 40 years = 250 FVIFA 0.06,40 = 250 x 154.76 = $38,690.

3. You want to have $40,000 to buy a new boat in six years. How much do you have to save at the end of each year to reach this goal if you earn 5% a year on your savings?

Sum Desired at end of 6 years = $40,000

Interest Earned Per Year = 5% or 0.05

How Much to Save each year = 40000 / PVIFA 0.05,6 = 40000 /5.0757 = $7.880.68
