Final answer:
To address Jamie Lee's financial planning questions, we use time value of money principles to calculate the future value of regular deposits and a single amount, and the present value of a single amount and series of deposits, all assuming a 2% interest rate over five years.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student needs to understand the concepts of future value, present value, and time value of money to answer the schoolwork questions related to Jamie Lee's savings and investment plan for her cupcake café venture. We will address these questions step by step, employing the formulas for future value of a series of deposits, future value of a single amount, present value of a single amount, and present value of a series of deposits, all considering a 2% interest rate over a 5-year period.
A. Future Value of a Series of Deposits
To calculate the future value of annual deposits of $1,800, the formula would be:
Future value of annuity factor × $1,800
(Exact factor from the table not provided)
B. Future Value of a Single Amount
The future value of Jamie's emergency fund of $3,100 after 5 years at a 2% annual interest rate can be calculated using the formula:
Future value factor × $3,100
(Again, the factor must be taken from the provided table)
C. Present Value of a Single Amount
To find out how much Jamie would need now to ensure she has $9,000 in the future, we use the present value formula:
Present value factor × $9,000
(The present value factor is derived from the table for a 2% rate over 5 years)
D. Present Value of a Series of Deposits
For calculating the present value of 5 years of salary totaling $24,000 per year at the opening of the cafe, the formula would be:
Present value of annuity factor × annual salary
(The factor is to be determined from the table provided)
