Time lines cannot be constructed in situations where some of the cash flows occur annually but others occur quarterly.

The payment made each period on an amortized loan is constant, and it consists of some interest and some principal. The closer we are to the end of the loan's life, the greater the percentage of the payment that will be a repayment of principal.

You plan to work for Strickland Corporation for 12 years after graduation and after that want to start your own business. You expect to save and deposit $7,500 a year for the first 6 years (t = 1 through t = 6) and $15,000 annually for the following 6 years (t = 7 through t = 12) . The first deposit will be made a year from today. In addition, your grandmother just gave you a $25,000 graduation gift that you will deposit immediately (t = 0) . If the account earns 9% compounded annually, how much will you have when you start your business 12 years from now?

A "growing annuity" is a cash flow stream that grows at a constant rate for a specified number of periods.

Julian and Jonathan are twin brothers (and so were born on the same day) . Today, both turned 25. Their grandfather began putting $2,500 per year into a trust fund for Julian on his 20th birthday, and he just made a 6th payment into the fund. The grandfather (or his estate's trustee) will make 40 more $2,500 payments until a 46th and final payment is made on Julian's 65th birthday. The grandfather set things up this way because he wants Julian to work, not be a "trust fund baby," but he also wants to ensure that Julian is provided for in his old age. Until now, the grandfather has been disappointed with Jonathan and so has not given him anything. However, they recently reconciled, and the grandfather decided to make an equivalent provision for Jonathan. He will make the first payment to a trust for Jonathan today, and he has instructed his trustee to make 40 additional equal annual payments until Jonathan turns 65, when the 41st and final payment will be made. If both trusts earn an annual return of 8%, how much must the grandfather put into Jonathan's trust today and each subsequent year to enable him to have the same retirement nest egg as Julian after the last payment is made on their 65th birthdayσ
