Year 5, and $800 at the end of Year 6. If other investments of equal risk earn
9% annually, what is its present value? Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Problem 4-24
Required Lump-Sum Payment

To complete your last year in
business school and then go through law school, you will need $15,000 per year
for 4 years, starting next year (that is, you will need to withdraw the first
$15,000 one year from today). Your rich uncle offers to put you through school,
and he will deposit in a bank paying 6.51% interest a sum of money that is
sufficient to provide the 4 payments of $15,000 each. His deposit will be made
today.

1. How large must the deposit be? Round your answer to the
   nearest cent.

2. How much will be in the account immediately after you
   make the first withdrawal? Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Problem 4-31
Nonannual Compounding

1. It is now January 1. You plan to make a total of 5
   deposits of $400 each, one every 6 months, with the first payment being
   made today. The bank pays a nominal interest rate of 12% but uses

   get the money for this payment, you will make 5 equal deposits, beginning
   today and for the following 4 quarters, in a bank that pays a nominal
   interest rate of 6% with quarterly compounding. How large must each of the
   5 payments be? Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Problem 4-30

Problem 4-11
Time for a Lump Sum to Double

To the next whole year, how long
will it take $200 to double if it is deposited and earns the following rates?
Round your answers up to the next highest year. [Notes: (1) If you are
using a financial calculator, you can enter the known values and then press the
appropriate key to find the unknown variable. Then, without clearing the TVM
register, you can “override” the variable that changes by simply
entering a new value for it and then pressing the key for the unknown variable
to obtain the second answer. This procedure can be used in parts b and d, and
in many other situations, to see how changes in input variables affect the
output variable.) (2) This problem cannot be solved exactly with some financial
calculators. For example, if you enter PV = -200, PMT = 0, FV = 400, and I = 7
in an HP-12C, and then press the N key, you will get 11 years. The correct
answer is 10.2448 years, which rounds to 10, but the calculator rounds up.
However, the HP-10B gives the correct answer.]

Problem 4-28
PV and Effective Annual Rate

Assume that you inherited some
money. A friend of yours is working as an unpaid intern at a local brokerage firm,
and her boss is selling securities that call for 4 payments of $50 (1 payment
at the end of each of the next 4 years) plus an extra payment of $1,000 at the
end of Year 4. Your friend says she can get you some of these securities at a
cost of $1,050 each. Your money is now invested in a bank that pays an 12%
nominal (quoted) interest rate but with quarterly compounding. You regard the
securities as being just as safe, and as liquid, as your bank deposit, so your
required effective annual rate of return on the securities is the same as that
on your bank deposit. You must calculate the value of the securities to decide
whether they are a good investment. What is their present value to you? Round
your answer to the nearest cent.

Problem 4-13
Present Value of an Annuity

• eBook

Find the present value of the
following ordinary annuities. Round your answers to the nearest cent. (Notes:
If you are using a financial calculator, you can enter the known values and
then press the appropriate key to find the unknown variable. Then, without
clearing the TVM register, you can “override” the variable that
changes by simply entering a new value for it and then pressing the key for the
unknown variable to obtain the second answer. This procedure can be used in
many situations, to see how changes in input variables affect the output
variable. Also, note that you can leave values in the TVM register, switch to
“BEG,” press FV, and find the FV of the annuity due.)

Universal Bank pays 3% interest,
compounded annually, on time deposits. Regional Bank pays 2%, compounded
quarterly.

1. Based on effective interest rates, in which bank would
   you prefer to deposit your money?

   I. You would choose Regional Bank because its EAR (or EFF%) is
   higher.
   II. You would choose Regional Bank because its nominal interest
   rate is higher.
   III.You are indifferent between the banks and your decision will
   be based upon which one offers you a gift for opening an account.
   IV.You would choose Universal
   Bank because its EAR (or EFF%) is higher.
   V. You would choose Universal Bank because its nominal interest
   rate is higher.

2. Could your choice of banks be influenced by the fact
   that you might want to withdraw your funds during the year as opposed to
   at the end of the year? In answering this question, assume that funds must
   be left on deposit during the entire compounding period in order for you
   to receive any interest.

   I. If funds must be left on deposit until the end of the
   compounding period (3 months for Universal Bank and 1 year for Regional
   Bank), and you think there is a high probability that you will make a
   withdrawal during the year, then Universal Bank might be preferable.
   II. If funds must be left on
   deposit until the end of the compounding period (1 year for Universal Bank
   and 3 months for Regional Bank), and you think there is a high probability
   that you will make a withdrawal during the year, then Regional Bank might
   be preferable.
   III.If funds must be left on deposit until the end of the
   compounding period (3 months for Universal Bank and 1 year for Regional
   Bank), and you think there is a high probability that you will make a
   withdrawal during the year, then Regional Bank might be preferable.
   IV.If funds must be left on deposit until the end of the
   compounding period (1 year for Universal Bank and 3 months for Regional
   Bank), and you have no intentions of making a withdrawal during the year,
   then Regional Bank might be preferable.
   V. If funds must be left on deposit until the end of the
   compounding period (1 year for Universal Bank and 3 months for Regional
   Bank), and you think there is a high probability that you will make a
   withdrawal during the year, then Universal Bank might be preferable.

Q A $50,000 loan is to be amortized
over 7 years, with annual end-of-year payments. Which of these statements is
CORRECT?

a. The annual payments would be larger if the interest rate were lower.

b. If the loan were amortized over 10 years rather than 7 years, and if the interest rate were the same in either case, the first payment would include more dollars of interest under the 7-year amortization plan.

c. The proportion of each payment that represents interest as opposed to repayment of principal would be lower if the interest rate were lower.

d. The last payment would have a higher proportion of interest than the first payment.

e. The proportion of interest versus principal repayment would be the same for each of the 7 payments.
