− Single payments◦ present worth factor (F/P,i,N)◦ capital recovery factor (P/F,i,N)

− Unequal payment series− Equal payment series

◦ compound amount factor (F/A,i,N)◦ sinking fund factor (A/F,i,N)◦ present worth factor (P/A,i,N)◦ capital recovery factor (A/P,i,N)

Retirement planning

A 21-year old inherits $100,000 from a distant relative who has deceased. She decides to spend some and invest the rest immediately in order to retire at 65 with a $1,000,000 savings account. At 8% interest compounded annually, how much must be invested?

Page 4: Engineering Economics Topics on PE Exams

Solution

$1,000,000 = P (1+0.08)44

P = $1,000,000/29.56 = $33,834

$100,000 - $33,834 = $66,166

Multiple payments

How much do you need to deposit today (P) to withdraw $25,000 at n=1, $3,000 at n = 2, and $5,000 at n =4, if your account earns 10% annual interest?

College fund

Suppose you make an annual contribution of $100 each year to a college education fund for a niece. She is 4 years old now, and you will start next year and make the last deposit when she is 18. The fund is a money market account earning 6.5%/year. What will it be worth immediately after the last deposit?

Custodial account

Suppose you decide to open a custodial account for your niece, who was born today. The minimum deposit is $100 on opening the account today, and you will put in $100 each year up to and including her 18th birthday. What is the account worth when it is turned over to the child at age 18? You expect to earn 10% interest per year.

Annuity factor(capital recovery factor)

You want to obtain a loan of $20,000 to buy a used car. You will pay off the loan in yearly payments over the next 5 years. The salesman quotes a 6% annual interest rate and yearly payments of $4,878. Is $4,878 an accurate payment for this loan?

Present worthYour father is about to get downsized out of his position. He has been

with the previous company through 3 previous mergers, and is disgusted with that nature of the business. He is considering retiring rather than seeking a new job. What would his retirement savings have to be worth today in order to withdraw $50,000/year for thenext 15 years? He expects to invest conservatively, earning 5% per year during his retirement years.
