You want to invest $8,000 at an annual Interest rate of 8% that compounds annually for 12 years. Which table will help you determine the value of your account at the end of 12 years? A. future value of one dollar ($1) B. present value of one dollar ($1) C. future value of an ordinary annuity D. present value of an ordinary annuity
If you are saving the same amount each month in order to buy a new sports car when the new models are released, which of the following will help you determine the savings needed? A. future value of one dollar ($1) B. present value of one dollar ($1) C. future value of an ordinary annuity D. present value of an ordinary annuity
(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%
You are offered the choice of two annuities. A: Receive $100 every year for the next ten years. The first payment starts one year from today. B: Receive $204 every two years for the next ten years. The first payment starts two years from today. Without calculating the present values of the annuities, explain how you can obtain the rate of interest per annum that would make you indifferent between the two annuities.
You are considering two equally risky annuities, each of which pays $5,000 per year for 10 years. Investment ORD is an ordinary (or deferred) annuity, while Investment DUE is an annuity due. Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. The present value of ORD exceeds the present value of DUE, and the future value of ORD also exceeds the future value of DUE. b. The present value of ORD must exceed the present value of DUE, but the future value of ORD may be less than the future value of DUE. c. The present value of DUE exceeds the present value of ORD, and the future value of DUE also exceeds the future value of ORD. d. The present value of DUE exceeds the present value of ORD, while the future value of DUE is less than the future value of ORD. e. If the going rate of interest decreases from 10% to 0%, the difference between the present value of ORD and the present value of DUE would remain constant.
Which of the following statements is most correct? Group of answer choices The value of a perpetuity (say for $100 per year) will approach infinity as the interest rate used to evaluate the perpetuity approaches zero. If you are lending money, then, based on effective interest rates, you should prefer to lend at a 10 percent simple, or quoted, rate but with semiannual payments, rather than at a 10.1 percent simple rate with annual payments. However, as a borrower you should prefer the annual payment loan. The first payment under a 3-year, annual payment, amortized loan for $1,000 will include a smaller percentage (or fraction) of interest if the interest rate is 5 percent than if it is 10 percent. All of these.
Your insurance company offered you an annuity that pays you $100 at the end of each year. The life of the annuity is 10 years. Assume that market interest rate you can earn on similar risky investments is 8%. What should be the present value of this annuity? If you are given the first payment immediately starting today, what should be the worth of this annuity? Which payment mode will you accept? What will be basis of your decision under time value of money concept?
Assume you are to receive a 20-year annuity with monthly payments of $50. The first payment will be received at the end of month 1, and the last payment will be received at the end of the last month of Year 20.

What will be the value in your account at the end of Year 30? Group of answer choices $37,968 $278,236 $2,864 $102,782
