Bo Newman will invest \(10,000 today in a fund that earns 5% annual interest. How many years will it take for the fund to grow to \)17,100?
Question:Regina Henry deposited $20,000 in a money market certificate that provides interest of 10% compounded quarterly if the amount is maintained for 3 years. How much will Regina have at the end of 3 years?
Question:What are the primary characteristics of an annuity? Differentiate between an “ordinary annuity” and an “annuity due.”
Consolidated Natural Gas Company (CNG), with corporate headquarters in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is one of the largest producers, transporters, distributors, and marketers of natural gas in North America.
Periodically, the company experiences a decrease in the value of its gas- and oil-producing properties, and a special charge to income was recorded in order to reduce the carrying value of those assets.
Assume the following information. In 2016, CNG estimated the cash inflows from its oil- and gas-producing properties to be \(375,000 per year. During 2017, the write-downs described above caused the estimate to be decreased to \)275,000 per year. Production costs (cash outflows) associated with all these properties were estimated to be \(125,000 per year in 2016, but this amount was revised to \)155,000 per year in 2017.
Instructions (Assume that all cash flows occur at the end of the year.)
(a) Calculate the present value of net cash flows for 2016–2018 (three years), using the 2016 estimates and a 10% discount factor.
(b) Calculate the present value of net cash flows for 2017–2019 (three years), using the 2017 estimates and a 10% discount factor.
(c) Compare the results using the two estimates. Is information on future cash flows from oil- and gas-producing properties useful, considering that the estimates must be revised each year? Explain.
Question: Explain how the future value of an ordinary annuity interest table is converted to the future value of an annuity due interest table.
