16. Application of Time Value of Money Skills y Tools Tips 1ps S ls Gavin Goldenarm has been playing baseball since he was five years old and has always dreamed of playing in the big leagues. Last season, he was a starting pitcher for a double-A (AA)-level baseball team, the Roswell Extraterrestrials; last year, he was the first runner-up for the Minor League Player of the Year award. Using his 97 mph fastball, an impeccable curve ball and slider, and a reliable changeup pitch, he achieved a 17-3 win-loss record, an earned run average (ERA) of 2.84, and 108 strikeouts in 123.1 innings pitched. He is also your best friend. Two weeks ago, on his three-year anniversary with the team, Gavin received the following email from his agent, Steven Sign'em-Now, Indicating that he is being called up to the Springfield Dusties, the Extraterrestrials's corresponding Major League Baseball (MLB) team. Moreover, Gavin's contract is being revised to reflect his new status. The email describes the general terms and conditions of Gavin's revised contract. From: Steven Sign'em-Now To: Gavin Goldenarm Subject: New Team, New Contract Proposal Gavin, Congratulations! You've been called up to the Springfield Dusties. Below are the offered terms and conditions of your new contract. After you review them and think about the offer, call me and we'll discuss your options. Congrats again! Salary and Incentives: Gavin Goldenarm hereafter referred to as the "Player," is offered a four-year contract with an annual salary of $564,000 per year, to be paid at the end of each month in the contract term. Under the league's collective bargaining agreement, the Player will receive a 4% cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) to his annual salary at the beginning of every other year. This means that the Player's annual salary will increase-at the beginning of year 2 and year 4, as applicable. In addition, the Player will receive a one-time $20,000 time-in-league bonus after six months of participation with an MLB team. This bonus will be paid immediately on completion of the six-month period. The Player is offered a performance-based bonus, as well as a milestone bonus. Both are intended to encourage outstanding performance. The Player is offered the following award-based performance incentive: a 15% bonus payable at the end of the operating year if he is selected to play in the All-Star game. The Player is also offered the following milestone bonus: a $75,000 bonus if he ties Nolan Ryan's 1973 single-season strikeout record (383 strikeouts). The Player is eligible for each potential bonus each year that the contract is in effect and, if expressed as a percentage, will be based on the value of the Player's base annual salary for the corresponding year. If earned, the performance and milestone bonuses will be distributed in a single payment at the beginning of the next contract year. Although this proposal describes only one milestone, the actual contract contains several progressive milestones. Exceeding one milestone creates the opportunity to exceed another. In addition to the proposal offered by the Dusties, I've also been able to secure the following endorsement opportunity: A local car dealer har afferni A local car dealer has offered you a contract that will pay $3,000 per month for two years. This contract is contingent on your accepting the contract with the Dusties and will take effect immediately upon signing your MLB contract. In return for these payments, you will participate in the dealer's promotional events, such as signing autographs and allowing photographs as requested. I've also attached a worksheet that you can use to analyze the deal. I'm in negotiations for the rest of the day, so let's discuss your thoughts on the contract proposal tomorrow. I'm proud of you! Take care, Steven Steven Sign'em-Now Sports Agent, R&R Talent Management Inc. | Springfield B Gavin is so excited! According to Steven, the contract is worth $2,924,400-assauming receipt of all possible bonuses. After rereading the email twice and calling his family, Gavin called you to review the terms of the contract and verify Steven's calculations. After an extended conversation about what he'll do with his newfound wealth, you and Gavin have agreed that any funds received could be invested to earn 7.50%, compounded monthly. Contract Evaluation Worksheet Complete the following worksheet by inserting the appropriate values to evaluate the contract and answer the related questions. Note: To darify possible sources of confusion and simplify your calculations: Assume that all bonuses are earned in each of the years for which they are available and are paid at the end of the corresponding year(s), unless specifically stated differently. Their value should be based on the salary in effect at the time the bonuses were earned. The endorsement proceeds are paid in accordance with the terms of the deal, Remember that the timing of a cash flow affects the interest rate that is used to discount the cash flow. For example, annual interest rates should be used to discount annual cash flows, and monthly interest rates are used to discount monthly cash flows. Therefore, it may be necessary to compute the appropriate interest rate that should be used in a discounting calculation. Round all dollar amounts to the nearest whole dollar and carry out all interest rate factors to four dedmal places. When entering intermediate values as answer choices, be sure to round them to the nearest dollar, however when using those same values to calculate another answer, do not round A 1 Assumptions and Calculated Values 2 Bank Rate Information: 3 Gavin's Bank Account Rate % (compounded monthly) 4 Monthly Bank Rate S Effective Annual Interest Rate D 7 Salary and Bonus Information: Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 4 0 Annual Salary (4% COLA) $ S S 9 Monthly Salary S $ 10 Discount factor (based on 11.526392047 10.60603134 9.025480771 9.210457981230 11 Cell B4 above) Discounted Annual Salary: S Total value 12 13 14 Time-in-League Bonus Discount factor (based on 0.9633 Cell 04 above) 15 Discounted Time-in-League S Bonus 16 17 Milestone Bonus S Discount factor (based on 0.9280 0.8611 0,7091 0.7415 Cell 15 above) 10 Discounted Milestone Bonus $ 20 21 Performance Bonus 22 Discount factor (based on 0.9280 0.8611 0.7991 0.7415 Cell 85 above) 23 Discounted Performance Bonus 24 25 Monthly Endorsement Contract Payment $ 20 Discount factor (based on 11.5264 $ 10.0960 CallB5 above) 19 Discounted Milestone Bonus 20 ols 21 Performance Bonus: S 22 Discount factor (based on 0.9280 Cell 85 above)) 23 Discounted Performance S Bonus 24 25 Monthly Endorsement 26 Contract Payment Discount factor (based on Cell 14 above) 27 Discounted Monthly tory Endorsement Payment 28 29 Contract's Total Nominal Value 30 Contract's Total Discounted Value S 11.5264 S S 0.8611 10.6060 S 0.7991 0.7415 S
