Question 1. Jay Coleman just graduated. He plans to work for five years and then leave for the Australian "Outback" country. He figures that he can save $3,500 a year for the first three years and $5,000 a year for the next two years. These savings will start one year from now. In addition, his family gave him a $2,500 graduation gift. If he puts the gift, and the future savings when they start, into an account that pays 7.75% compounded annually, what will his financial "stake" be when he leaves for Australia five years from now? Round off to the nearest $1.
Question 2. Find the present vale of the following stream of cash flows assuming that the firm’s cost is 14% and that these amounts are received at the end of each year.
