The Johnsons have accumulated a nest egg of $40,000 that they intend to use as a down payment toward the purchase of a new house. Because their present gross income has placed them in a relatively high tax bracket, they have decided to invest a minimum of $2300/month in monthly payments (to take advantage of the tax deduction) toward the purchase of their house. However, because of other financial obligations, their monthly payments should not exceed $2900. If local mortgage rates are 4.5%/year compounded monthly for a conventional 30-year mortgage, what is the price range of houses that they should consider? (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)

Luis has $190,000 in his retirement account at his present company. Because he is assuming a position with another company, Luis is planning to "roll over" his assets to a new account. Luis also plans to put $3000/quarter into the new account until his retirement 30 years from now. If the new account earns interest at the rate of 4.5%/year compounded quarterly, how much will Luis have in his account at the time of his retirement? Hint: Use the compound interest formula and the annuity formula. (Round your answer to the nearest cent.) $
