When using calculator, sometimes you might need to enter a negative number to get the answer.
When there are several cash flows within a year, apply periodic rate.
For HP calculator, after doing an operation to convert nominal rate to EFF, you might need to change to setting of P/YR back to 1.
NOPAT = EBIT (1 – Tax rate)
NOWC = Current assets - Non-interest bearing current liability
Notes payable or short-term debt is not a non-interest bearing current liability.
Total Operating capital = NOWC + Net Fixed Assets
OCF = NOPAT + Depreciation expense
FCF(free cash flow) = NOPAT – change in total operating capital
EVA= NOPAT – (After tax cost of capital) * (total operating capital)

21. Your aunt has $500,000 invested at 5.5%, and she now wants to retire. She wants to withdraw $45,000 at the beginning of each year, beginning immediately. She also wants to have $50,000 left to give you when she ceases to withdraw funds from the account. For how many years can she make the $45,000 withdrawals and still have $50,000 left in the end?
a. 15.54
b. 16.36
c. 17.22
d. 18.08
No correct answer. Everyone gets a credit on this question. Interested students could read the following:
The textbook guy, which provides a wrong answer of 17.22 year, solved it in the following way:
BGN mode, -$500 PV, $45 PMT,-$50 FV, N, 5.5 I/Y, CPT N, N=17.22 Year
But the $45K and the last withdraw of $50K should have the same sign. The $50K should have the same sign as the PMT, no matter your aunt leaves that $50K to you or to herself. The $50K is not additional contribution to the bank, so it should have the opposite sign to that of the $500k originally deposited at the bank. So 17.22 year is wrong!
Correct answer should be one of the following two depending on the interpretation on how to interpret “She also wants to have $50,000 left to give you when she ceases to withdraw funds from the account.”
A)
BGN mode, -$500 PV, $45 PMT,$50, N, 5.5 I/Y, CPT N, N=15.05 Years. This assumes that the last withdrawal of $50k is (or $50k balance that is made available) one year after your aunt’s last withdrawal.
B) If we interpret the question as making the $50K available immediately after the last withdrawal, then the question could be solved in this way: under END mode: -$455 PV, $45 PMT,$50 FV, 5.5 I/Y, CPT N, N=13.99, ($455K is how much you aunt have right after the first withdrawl).
N+1(first withdrawl) =14.99 Years
The (B) interpretation might be what the question really meant, though the two interpretations generate very close answers.
More ado about the (A) interpretation. It could also be solved under END mode as:
-$455 PV, $45 PMT ,5.5 I/Y, 5 FV, CPT N,N=15.05 years
(Do not forget to return to the “END” mode after this question)
