1. Blake is considering whether to enroll full-time in a two-year, webpage design certificate program. Enrolling in this program requires him to leave his current job and devote all of his available time to his studies. He plans to make his decision based on standard human capital analysis, and has obtained the following data to help with his decision: Direct Costs (tuition and fees in each year): $2,000 Current annual earnings (i.e., w/o the additional education): $5,000 After completing the certificate program, Blake will work 3 years and then retire (thus, this is a 5-period model: t = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4). His estimated annual earnings, post-schooling, in each year are: $11,000 Blake's discount rate is 3% Create a table with the following information (shown in columns): time period, direct costs in each period, indirect costs in each period, expected earnings with additional schooling, and incremental (net) benefits in each period (discounted by the appropriate rate). Given the data,…
Maria has a choice between two job offers. The first is in Ithaca and pays $55,000.00 annually. The second job is in Memphis and has a base pay of $45,000.00 with a 10.00% chance of earning an annual bonus of $20,000.00. In which city will Maria, a risk-neutral person, work if the selection is based only on earnings? Ithaca Part 2 ( Feedback See Hint Maria would be indifferent between these two offers if the probability of obtaining the bonus was 0.5 %. (Round to the nearest percent.)
Answer the following problems and explain it step by step: 1. A man who is 30 years old at the start of the year, is considering getting an MFM degree. He currently earns $40,000 per year and expects to continue earning that amount for the rest of his working life (until age 65). He will give up his income for two years and will pay $20,000 per year in tuition, if he attends business school. In exchange, he expects a raise in his salary after completing his MFM. Assume that the post-graduation salary grows at a 5% annual rate and that the discount rate is 8%. What is the minimum expected starting salary after graduation for him that makes attending business school a positive-NPV investment? (Assuming that all cash flows happen at the end of each year.) 2.

You have a job in a company that pays you P350,000 per year. For a better future, you want to get a Master's degree that could cost P100,000 but cannot continue your job while studying. If you decide to give up your job and return to school to earn a Master's degree, how much would be your opportunity cost?
Jenny Jenks has researched the financial pros and cons of entering into a 1-year MBA program at her state university. The tuition and needed books for a master's program will have an upfront cost of $51,000. If she enrolls in an MBA program, Jenny will quit her current job, which pays $50,000 per year after taxes (for simplicity, treat any lost earnings as part of the upfront cost). On average, a person with an MBA degree earns an extra $21,000 per year (after taxes) over a business career of 39 years. Jenny believes that her opportunity cost of capital is 5.3%. Given herestimates, find the net present value (NPV) of entering this MBA program. Are the benefits of further education worth the associated costs? The net present value (NPV) of entering this MBA program is Are the benefits of further education worth the associated costs?
Suppose your expenses for this term are as follows: tuition: $12,000, room and board: $6,500, books and other educational supplies: $1,500. Further, during the term, you can only work part-time and earn $3,500 instead of your full-time salary of $14,000. What is the opportunity cost of going to college this term, assuming that your room and board expenses would be the same even if you did not go to college? $13,500 $20,000 $24,000 $30,500
3. Suppose a high schools graduate earns $40,000 per year while a college graduate makes $80,000. Assume these wages will not change over time, and there are no other benefits to going to college. Explicit costs of going to college (tuition, books, supplies, etc.) are $30,000 per year. Ignore the psychic costs. The college education lasts four years. The retirement age is 65. a. Say an 18 year-old decides to obtain college education. What can her annual discount rate be? b. Say a 40 year-old has a discount rate of 5%. Will this person go to college?

1. Jackie has just finished high school. She will live for two more periods, and she needs to choose a career path. She can either take a job right now as an Uber driver $28,000 in each of the two periods. Or she can get more education in period one to become an economist. Tuition in the first period would be $25,000 and she would earn $85,000 in the second period with her economics degree. a) Suppose the discount rate is 5% (r=.05). If Jackie wants to maximize the present value of her lifetime income, what should she do? Explain and show your calculations. b) Suppose the discount rate is 10% (r= .10). What should Jackie do? Explain and show your calculations c) Suppose the discount rate is 5% but suppose tuition costs are $30,000. What should Jackie do? Explain and show your calculations.
Victor is somewhat satisfied with his sales career and has always wondered about a career as a teacher in a public school. He would have to take a year off work to go back to college to obtain his teaching certificate, and that would mean giving up his $52,000 salary for a year. Victor expects that he could earn about the same income as a teacher. Round your answers to the nearest dollar. 1. What would his annual income be after 10 years as a teacher if he received an average 3 percent raise every year?

Suppose that you decide to go to summer school. Your tuition cost is $3,000, books and supplies cost $300, and room and board cost $1,000. You would not work while you attend summer school. If you did not go to summer school you would take a summer job which earns you $5,000 for the summer and your cost of room and board in the summer would be $2,000.
