You want to endow a scholarship that will pay $10,000 per year forever, starting one year from now. If the school’s endowment discount rate is 7%, what amount must you donate to endow the scholarship? 13. How would your answer to Problem 12 change if you endow it now, but it makes the first award to a student 10 years from today?

Answer:12. $142,857.1413. $77,704.82 . . . it is changed by the accumulated interest on the amountStep-by-step explanation:12. You want one year's interest on the endowment to be equal to $10,000. The principal (P) can be found by ...   I = Prt   10,000 = P·0.07·1   10,000/0.07 = P ≈ 142,857.14The endowment must be $142,857.14 to pay $10,000 in interest annually forever.__13. If the first award is in 10 years, we want the above amount to be the value of an account that has paid 7% interest compounded annually for 9 years. (The first award is 1 year after this amount is achieved.) Then we want the principal (P) to be ...   142,857.14 = P·(1 +0.07)^9   142,57.14/1.07^9 = P = 77,704.82The endowment needs to be only $77,704.82 if the first award is made 10 years after the endowment date.
