Assess students' ability to evaluate and compare financial strategies for recent graduates who must balance accelerated student loan repayment against long-term retirement investing. Test understanding of interest-rate comparisons and after-tax effective returns, employer match and vesting, compound interest/time value of money, opportunity cost, emergency-fund needs, refinancing/consolidation trade-offs, tax-advantaged accounts (401(k), Roth), risk tolerance and time horizon, cash-flow constraints, and scenario-based breakeven/net-present-value calculations. Include conceptual judgment items and applied problems requiring quantitative analysis and evidence-based recommendations for varied borrower profiles and policy contexts.
