PART D
i.
The revised return objective for the Carvalhos’ portfolio is to:
– provide for the mortgage on their home
– support their living expenses in retirement
– support charitable endeavors in retirement
– provide a bequest for their children.

ii.
The after-tax nominal rate of return is 8.48%. The return is calculated using the following
inputs:

Mortgage payments remaining 5
Annual mortgage amount $35,000
Investment portfolio value (current) $10,200,000
Investment portfolio value (target) $15,000,000

Using the HP12-C calculator, the following figures are used in the calculation when
solving for i:

N = 5, PV = 10,200,000, PMT = -55,000, FV = -15,000,000, compute i = 8.48%
or
N = 5, PV = -10,200,000, PMT = 55,000, FV = 15,000,000, compute i = 8.48%

Note: Salaries/expenses are a wash.
