For this assignment, make sure to first carefully review all of the required readings about present value, future value, risk and return, and the CAPM. Once you are relatively comfortable with these concepts, try working through some of the examples in the background readings and try computing the answers on your own. Once you are condent you both understand the concepts and the computational steps, complete the assignment below. Present your answers to the problem below in a Word document, and also upload an Excel le with your computations. Excel is required for Questions 2 and 3. Excel is optional for Questions 1 and 4, but you are required to show your steps for all quantitative problems. Even if you get the answer wrong, you can still get partial credit if you show your work. 1. Calculate the following: A. Suppose you wish to raise some money for your favorite local charity. This charity needs $50,000 a year to run its operation and you want to make sure that it is ensured an annual payment of this amount from now on for every year in the foreseeable future. Given an interest rate of 5%, how much would you have to fund this perpetuity to guarantee the charity 3 payment of $50,000 per year? B. You decide to put $1,000 in a new bank account and don't plan to withdraw the money for 10 years. If your bank does continuous compounding and the interest rate is 1%, what will be the value of this bank account in 10 years? 2. Suppose you won the lottery but not all of your winnings will come in one year. Instead, you will get a series of annual payments over the next ve years. The table below tells you what your payment will be every year for the next ve years. Use the information in the table to make the following computations: A. The present and future value of your lottery ticket if the interest rate is 8% B. The present and future value of your lottery ticket if the interest rate is 10%
