inflation and present value
Not what you're looking for?
Please develop a hypothetical scenario in a word document illustrating these concepts.
Inflation:
1. If your salary today is $55,000 per year, what would you expect your salary to be in 20 years (rounded to the nearest thousand dollars) if you assume that inflation will continue at a constant rate of 6% over that time period?
*note: Be sure to use parentheses for the exponent.
Present Value
2. Suppose that you want to take a trip to Tahiti in 5 years and you decide that you will need $5,000. To have that much money set aside in 5 years, how much money should you deposit now into a bank account paying 6% compounded quarterly?
Present Value
3. An insurance agent wishes to sell you a policy that will pay you $100,000 in 30 years. What is the value of this policy in today's dollars, if we assume a 9% inflation rate, compounded annually?
