$-270,000 Cash flow to creditors = Interest paid - Net new borrowing Cash flow to creditors = Interest paid - (LTDend - LTDbeg) Cash flow to creditors = $130,000 - ($5,800,000 - 5,400,000) Cash flow to creditors = -$270,000

$15,354 EBIT = $46,967 − 17,184 − 12,051 − 6,850 = $10,882 EBT = $10,882 − 4,088 = $6,794 Taxes = $6,794(.35) = $2,378 OCF = $10,882 + 6,850 − 2,378 = $15,354

$194,305,227.49 PV = FV/(1 + r)t PV = $583,000,000/(1.076)15 PV = $194,305,227.49

You want to have $79,000 in your savings account 13 years from now, and you're prepared to make equal annual deposits into the account at the end of each year. If the account pays 7.30 percent interest, what amount must you deposit each year?

$3,846.79 FVA = C{[(1 + r)^t − 1]/r} $79,000 = $C[(1.0730^13 − 1)/.0730] C = $79,000/20.53662 C = $3,846.79

The Maybe Pay Life Insurance Co. is trying to sell you an investment policy that will pay you and your heirs $25,000 per year forever. If the required return on this investment is 5.8 percent, how much will you pay for the policy?

If you put up $48,000 today in exchange for a 6.25 percent, 15-year annuity, what will the annual cash flow be?

$5,023.26 PVA = C({1 − [1/(1 + r)^t]}/r) PVA = $48,000 = $C{[1 − (1/1.0625^15)]/.0625} C = $48,000/9.555549 C = $5,023.26

Find the EAR with 15% continuous compounding

16.18% EAR = e^q - 1 EAR = e.^15 - 1 EAR = .1618, or 16.18%

Find the EAR with 16% compounded quarterly

16.99% EAR = [1 + (APR/m)]^m - 1 EAR = [1 + (.16/4)]^4 - 1 EAR = .1699, or 16.99%

Find the EAR with 16% compounded monthly

17.23% EAR = [1 + (APR/m)]^m - 1 EAR = [1 + (.16/12)]^12 - 1 EAR = .1723, or 17.23%

Find the EAR with 16% compounded daily

17.35% EAR = [1 + (APR/m)]^m - 1 EAR = [1 + (.16/365)]^365 - 1 EAR = .1735, or 17.35%

Assume that in January 2017, the average house price in a particular area was $313,200. In January 2001, the average price was $197,300. What was the annual increase in selling price?

At 5.5 percent interest, how long does it take to quadruple it?

25.89 years FV = $4 = $1(1.055)t t = ln(4)/ln(1.055) t = 25.89 years
