Steve and Ed are cousins who were both born on the same day,and both turned 25 today.Their grandfather began putting $2,500 per year into a trust fund for Steve 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 Steve's 65th birthday.The grandfather set things up this way because he wants Steve to work,not be a "trust fund baby," but he also wants to ensure that Steve is provided for in his old age. ​ Until now,the grandfather has been disappointed with Ed,hence has not given him anything.However,they recently reconciled,and the grandfather decided to make an equivalent provision for Ed.He will make the first payment to a trust for Ed today,and he has instructed his trustee to make 40 additional equal annual payments until Ed 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 Ed's trust today and each subsequent year to enable him to have the same retirement nest egg as Steve after the last payment is made on their 65th birthday?

Which of the following statements is CORRECT?


A) If you have a series of cash flows, each of which is positive, you can solve for I, where the solution value of I causes the PV of the cash flows to equal the cash flow at Time 0.
B) If you have a series of cash flows, and CF0 is negative but each of the following CFs is positive, you can solve for I, but only if the sum of the undiscounted cash flows exceeds the cost.
C) To solve for I, one must identify the value of I that causes the PV of the positive CFs to equal the absolute value of the PV of the negative CFs. This is, essentially, a trial-and-error procedure that is easy with a computer or financial calculator but quite difficult otherwise.
D) If you solve for I and get a negative number, then you must have made a mistake.
E) If CF0 is positive and all the other CFs are negative, then you cannot solve for I.
