Millionaire's Son Wins $107 Million Jackpot - Sacramento News Story - KCRA Sacramento

Millionaire's Son Wins $107 Million Jackpot - Sacramento News Story - KCRA Sacramento

Read page 810-811 in your book for an explanation of how annuities work.

Let's assume this guy chose the annuity instead of the lump sum.  Based on the 107 million dollars he was promised, what would be this guy's annual payments (before taxes) be if he were to receive equal  payments for 25 year installments rather than a lump sum?

Based on ordinary annuity principles, what would be the present value of the annuity after one payment was made?

Let's assume the in the annuity situation, instead of the lotto administration buying an annuity, the State buys U.S. securities paying an interest rate 7%.  How much would the winner have received in cash instead of the original $107 million jackpot?

Scribe Post - 22.1-22.4

*This Scribe Post covers everything we learned last week (Sept 16th - 21st)


22.1

Bonds:
- Bonds always pay simple interest! A=P(1-rt)
- The Principal plus Interest is paid at the end of the maturity of the bond
*All risk goes to the buyer
- Inflation? Will the bond issuer be able to pay?


Need help understanding bonds? Check out this video!!




Add-On Loans:
- What is an Add-On loan?
An Add-On loan is a loan in which you, the borrower, pays back the Principal amount plus the Interest over a fixed period of time.

- Always use Simple Inter
est when working with add on loans!
- Formula for Add on Loans:
d = P(1+rt)/n
d = payment per interval

Discounted Loans:
- What is a Discounted loan?
A Discounted loan is a loan in which you, the borrower, pay interest upfront, and then eventually pay back the principal over time. In other words, I may want to borrow $100 with 6% interest; the lender would only hand me $94, which I would pay back over time ($94 = 6% of $100). Since I paid my interest up front ($6) I only receive the remaining principal ($94).

- Always use Simple Interest when working with Discounted Loans!
- To find the discounted loan:
1) find interest added onto original Principal
2) subtract interest from original Principal
= this will give you how much you are "handed" the day you get the loan
3) then divide this number by the number of payments you will be making


22.2 - 22.3

Credit Card Payments:
- Always use
Compound Interest when working with Credit Card Pay
ments
A = (P+i)^n
- Also know Savings Formula when working with Credit Card Payments
A = d[((1+i)^n-1) / n]


22.4

Amortizing:
- Formula:
A = d[ (1-(1+i)^-n) / n]
This formula is used when you need to find out how much to pay at each interval for a house that costs $x with y% interest over z years.

How to find APY:
- APY = i(n)
i = rate per compounding period
n = number of times compounded


Things to know:
- The definition of "bond"
- Simple Interest Formula & how and where to apply it
- Compound Interest formula & how and where to apply it
- The definition of "Add-On loan"
- The definition of "Discounted loan"
- The formula for amortizing (loan on a house)
- How to find APY

How To Solve For d, Payments Per Interval in Loan Amortization

Today in class we worked our way through using of a couple of familiar equations to derive the conventional loan payment equation. 

If we replace (P), the principal, on a loan with (A), the present value of an annuity or amount being amortized, then we know

A(1+i)^n = d [((1+i)^n - 1)/i]      which after algebra reflects   A = d[(1-(1+i)^-n)/i]

If you continue with algebra operations to solve for d using the above equation you get

d = Ai/(1-(1+i)^-n)

Gil CPI Review

The Basic CPI (Consumer Price Index) formula is:
(New Price/Old Price)=(CPI New/CPI Old)

That is the simplest form of the equation. Another one is:
New Price=Old Price + (cpi of event A / cpi of event B)
This is useful when trying to find a different part of the equation.

Here is an Example Problem: Let's say that you own a TV, purchased in 2004. You purchase this fine piece of technology for $999.








Lets say that you want to sell it now, and the year is 2011. You want to know how much the tv would be worth now had you bought in 2011. Basically, you want to know how much money you really spent on it, by seeing how much money you spent in constant dollars.

To do this, you do: 999(ww5.922/188.9)= $1,109.87 which is how much you would have spent had you bought that tv this year.







So why not use Compound interest to find this?



The answer is, because compound interest is for constant growth, whereas inflation isn't constant. CPI gives nominal value rather than assuming.

Eli: 21.9 CPI

Inflation fluctuates. It is very unstable, and changes very frequently. The government came up with a system to calculate the changes in value, called the CPI (consumer price index.) This is to figure out the cost of the necessities of living – food, clothes, cars, electronics, etc. This system allows us to compare dollars from one year to another, in a way that shows us the constant dollar. Ten dollars now does not mean the same exact thing as 5 dollars 10 years ago. What we learned in class is to calculate what an item or amount of money is worth in a certain number of years in today’s worth. The CPI allows us to calculate what values were in the past.


Cost Year A/Cost Year B = CPI Year A/CPI Year B. This is long version of the equation. The shorter version that most people use, and is most useful is this:

Recent Dollars = Old Dollars (CPI of recent year/CPI of old year)

The government has calculated the CPI rates for us, and we can see that in the early 1900s, the CPI was in the tens, and the CPI today is about 218. There was a dramatic increase.

The government bureau that created all of these numbers is the Labor Statistics Bureau.

Below is the table showing the CPI that the LSB came up with:
