Q1 On what financial goals dose Studebaker seem to be focusing? Is it the correct goal?
Explain.
Studebaker is currently focusing on the financial goal of additional savings for future use
after 20 years when he would like to retire, and also to meet the expected higher education
expenses of his child who would be 20 years old by that time.
However, while considering Morton’s proposal of investing in 6% yield life insurance policy,
he is ignoring time value of money or the opportunity cost of investing his money market
funds in a higher 7% investment of similar risk and switching over to a costlier mortgage.
Q2 Morton notes that the $550,000 invested in the single-premium life insurance
policy would grow to $1,763,925 in 20 years for a return of 6 percent a year.
Explain how this return was calculated.
The future value of a single cash flow of $550,000 for 20 years with 6%
compounded annually would earn a simple interest of $33,000 on principal amount
($550,000(1.06)) and an interest on interest component from year 2 (DeFusco, et al.,
2015) . For example, for year 2, interest on interest component is $1,980
($33,000*0.06)
In 20 years, the FV= PV(1+r) n = $550,000(1.06) 20 =$1,763,925
Q3 In order to reposition the equity in his home, Studebaker would have to take
out a 30-year, $705,000 mortgage at 9 percent. Explain how the yearly mortgage
payments on this loan were obtained. If the loan is for only 20 years, what
would be the annual repayment?
