Assume that you borrow $5,000, and you pay back the $5,000 plus $250 in interest at the end of the year. Assuming no inflation, what is the real interest rate? What would the interest rate be if the $250 of interest had been discounted at the time the loan was made? What would the interest rate be if you were required to repay the loan in 12 equal monthly installments?
is based on the notion that a dollar paid in the future is less valuable than a dollar paid today.
The present value of a loan in which $1000 is to be paid out a year from today with the interest rate equal to 1% is $. (Round your response to the neareast two decimal place)
If a loan is paid after two years, and the amount $1000 is to be paid then with a corresponding 2% interest rate, the present value of the loan is $. (Round your response to the neareast two decimal place)
