Response:

a) $639,610.76

b) $422,923.12

c) $0.00

d) $875,351.49

Clarification:

a) What deposit amount should she make today?

To determine this, we utilize the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:

PV = P × [{1 - [1 ÷ (1+r)]^n} ÷ r] …………………………………. (1)

Where;

PV = Amount to be deposited today =?

P = annual withdrawal = $95,000

r = interest rate = 4% = 0.04

n = total years = 8

Substituting the values into equation (1) provides:

PV = $95,000 × [{1 - [1 ÷ (1 + 0.04)]^8} ÷ 0.04]

PV = $95,000 × 6.73274487495041

PV = $639,610.76

Thus, she needs to deposit approximately $639,610.76 today.

b) What will the account balance be right after the third $95,000 withdrawal?

Note: Refer to Part A from the attached Excel document for this calculation.

This will show the ending balance at Year 3, which indicates $422,923.12.

c) What will the account balance be after all withdrawals, including the last one in 8 years?

Note: Also refer to Part A from the attached Excel document for this calculation.

The result will be the final balance at Year 8, showing $0.00.

d) Now, if you opt to drop out of school today and forgo all withdrawals while retaining your aunt’s deposit in the account accruing at 4.00%, what would your total be at the end of 8 years?

Note: See Part B from the attached Excel document for this calculation.

The total will be the closing balance at Year 8, which indicates $875,351.49.

The gain amounts to $370

Reasoning:

To determine the gain or loss for the date 12/31/2018, according to ABC's amortization schedule

On this date, the carrying value was $196,370 while ABC procured the bonds back for $196,000 on 12/31/2018

Now let’s compute the gain or loss using this formula

Gain/Loss = Carrying value - Bond stock

Substituting into the formula gives us Gain/Loss =$196,370-$196,000

Gain/Loss=$370

Therefore, on the date 12/31/2018, ABC will show a gain of $370
