问题如下:
Grandparents are funding a newborn’s future university tuition costs, estimated at $50,000/year for four years, with the first payment due as a lump sum in 18 years. Assuming a 6% effective annual rate, the required deposit today is closest to:
选项:
A.
$60,699.
B.
$64,341.
C.
$68,201.
解释:
B is correct.
First, find the present value (PV) of an ordinary annuity in Year 17 that represents the tuition costs: = $50,000 × 3.4651 = $173,255.28. Then, find the PV of the annuity in today’s dollars (where FV is future value):
PV0 = $64,340.85 ≈ $64,341.
老师,学费不是都应该先付吗?这个不按照常识处理吗?另外,如果,18时点开始的payment 是先付,是不是答案就是C啊?,折到17年初,也就是16年末是173255。
