請專業人仕教點做, 就快考試, 多謝, 吾該.

Q. Mr. and Mrs. Wong have two children age 5 and 7. They want to start saving for their children's education. Each child will spend 6 years at college and will begin at age 18. College currently costs $20,000 per year and is expected to increase at 6% per year. Assuming they can earn an annual compound return of 12% and inflation is 4%, how much must they deposit at the end of each year to pay for their children's educational requirements until the youngest is out of school? Assume that educational expenses are withdrawn at the beginning of each year and that the last deposit will be made at the beginning of the last year of the youngest child.

Difficulties :
1. 2 inflations, 1 for education, another one for economical inflation. How to differentiate this two?
2. Should we take the mean to the two inflation?
3. Overlapping of school times for the two children in between, how to trade off PV?

✔ 最佳答案
既然你問這個問題,假設你能非常熟練地運用財務計算機,那我就不會具體地說怎用機,只是說說怎解題
這個問題關鍵是要找到二個小朋友讀大學時的學費相當於今日的多少錢,知道了這個pv值,就很容易用機計算出所需存的金額了
為免用財務計算機時出錯,你最好劃二條線分別代表二個小朋友,分別標上他們現時的年紀和讀大學的年紀
在線上你可以看到,當中有四年是重疊在一起的,那四年的學費要x2
不要被4%和6%混淆了自己
用財務計算機分別算出讀大學那幾年每年的學費fv,r用6%,記得提及的那4年要x2
然後轉到現金流模式,輸入由現在至讀完大學的現金流,因為要折回現值,r用4%,就可算出npv
這個npv即是二個小朋友讀大學時的總學費相當於今日的多少錢的pv值
計出了這個至關重要的pv值,其它問題就相對簡單很多了,就可計要求的pmt值了,需處理12%和4%,還要留意年期究竟是多少,用期初還是期末模式
如果你不用現金流,只是用pv,fv計,則要計多很多步,要就每年學費的fv值,計回pv值,再去計pmt值,再將所有pmt值相加,才能計到要求的pmt值,不過也能計到答案的
解題大概是這樣,並不是很難,只是需要清晰思路.
有不明的地方,可再打電話95345973問我
祝你考試順利!
