ePortfolio TVM Assignment acct2310

I-Complete Analysis
1. How was the amount of the lump-sum determined? Create a calculation that might
help Johns sister understand.

Before involving on that accident, John was working and making $200,000 per year. Not
planning for that accident, he anticipated to work for another 25 years. If he was not on that
accident and was worked for another 25 years and made $200,000 per year regularly, using the
Present Value of an Ordinary Annuity of $1 table, we could add 7% interest rate onto what he
made. Using the same table (n=25, i=7%, FV= 200,000, PV of $1= 11.65358) we would multiply
$200,000 by 11.65358. Result is $2,330,716, which is the total amount that was awarded to John.
Thus, Johns settlement will be $2,330,716.

2. Was the settlement fair? Explain. See grading rubric at end of assignment for
grading details.

In my opinion, this settlement is not fair. Due to the accident, John has already lost two years
of net income. However, the settlement is started on the date that decision was made at court. For
having a fair settlement to John, first we should find the Future Value of Annuity for 2 periods at
7%, because two years have already passed, and then find the Present Value of Annuity for
another 23 periods at interest rate of 7% for the remaining years that he would work. Using the
Preset Value of $1, the Future Value of Annuity of $200,000 for 2 periods at 7% would be
$414,000. Additionally, the Present Value of Annuity of $200,000 for 23 periods at 7% will be
$2,254,437. Thus, the final fair amount that must awarded to John is $2,668,437 not $2,330,716.
 3. Write a brief reflection on how this assignment fits into your program and prepares
you for your field of study.

This chapter was my favorite topic in all the Intermediate Accounting course. This
assignment was a great live example to use all the concepts that I have learned in this
chapter to the real-life case. I really liked learning Time Value of Money and relate them
to the real-world examples. This assignment helped me to investigate and realize
diversity viewpoint on the huge topic of Time of Money and make a fair and appropriate
decision. In the beginning, while I was reading Johns story, I thought that he got a fair
settlement. However, after pondering and doing my own calculation using the deferent
tables of the textbook, I realized that his settlement was an unfair amount.
