b1. F = Pert , which assumes continuous compounding, says that the Future value (F) of an amount (P) invested today at an annual rate (r), expressed as a decimal for the time (t), in years is given by the function. Thus if you invested $100 at the annual rate of 5 1/2% for 6 years and 3 months you would get back (at the end of the time), F = $100e(0.055)(6.25) = $100e(0.3438) = $100(1.4102) = $141.02. If you invest $15000 today, what amount does the formula say you will get back if you leave it for 5 years and 3 months in a savings account paying 4 1/2% annually?

(1) What is the value at the end of Year 3 of the following cash flow stream if the quoted interest rate is 10%, compounded semiannually? (2) What is the PV of the same stream? (3) Is the stream an annuity? (4) An important rule is that you should never show a nominal rate on a time line or use it in calculations unless what condition holds? (Hint: Think of annual compounding, when INOM = EFF% = IPER.) What would be wrong with your answers to parts (1) and (2) if you used the nominal rate of 10% rather than the periodic rate, INOM/2 = 10%/2 = 5%?
If you invest $15,000 today, how much will you have in (for further instructions on future value in Excel, see Appendix C): A. 20 years at 22% B. 12 years at 10% C. 5 years at 14% D. 2 years at 7%
1. (See image), which assumes continuous compounding, says that the Future value (F) of an amount (P) invested today at an annual rate (r), expressed as a decimal for the time (t), in years is given by the function. Thus if you invested $100 now at the annual rate of 5 1/2% for 6 years and 3 months you would get back (at the end of the time), F = $100e^(0.055)^(6.25) = $100e^(0.3438) = $100(1.4102) = $141.02. Suppose you put $2000 in a savings account when your son was born for 18 years and 6 months to help pay for his college education. If you can earn 3% annually on it, what should you have in his education savings account in 18 years and 6 months?
set up an equation and solve each problem. Suppose that $500 is invested at a certain rate of interest compounded annually for 2 years. If the accumulated value at the end of 2 years is $594.05, find the rate of interest.
Suppose that an amount in Kina, is invested in a private financial institution, with interest compounded continuously at 8% per year. a).

Indicate whether the given statements is true (T) or false (F): "For a specified value of F at EOY N, P at time zero will be larger for r = 10% per year thanit will be for r = 10% per year, compounded monthly".
Suppose that you have an investment that earns 0% in the first year, but 20.7% in the second year. What rate of interest, compounded annually, would yield the same return after two years? (Answer in percentage)
*Using Matlab* The current amount A of a principal P invested in a savings account paying an annual interest rate r is given by A = P(1+r/n)^(nt) where n is the number of times per year the interest is compounded. For continuous compounding, A = Pe^(rt). Suppose $10,000 is initially invested at 2.5 percent (r = 0.025). a. Plot A versus t for 0 ≤ t ≤ 20 years for four cases: continuous compounding, annual compounding (n = 1), quarterly compounding (n = 4), and monthly compounding (n = 12). Show all four cases on the same subplot and label each curve. On a second subplot, plot the difference between the amount obtained from continuous compounding and the other three cases. b. Redo part a, but plot A versus t on log-log and semilog plots. Which plot gives a straight line?
1. If the investment is expected to earn revenue of P4,000,000, with cash expenses amounting to P1,500,000 each over its life, What is the payback period in years? 2. If the investment is expected to earn increase revenue by P750,000 annually with cash savings on expenses of P120,000 each over its life, what is the accounting rate of return of this investment?
For the following exercise, use the compound interest formula, A(t) = P 1 + r n nt , where money is measured in dollars.After a certain number of years, the value of an investment account is represented by the expression 10,950 1 + 0.03 2 24 . How many years had the account been accumulating interest? yr
