Summary Introduction
To determine: The rate at which Rule of 72 is exact.
Rule of 72:
The rule of 72 is a thumb rule which states that if the interest rate is divided by 72 then the number of periods that the amount takes to double can be calculated. By this rule, the interest rate which is needed to double a money in a given time period can also be calculated.

QUESTION 20
Given an interest rate of 8 percent, compute the year 8 future value if deposits of $1,700 and $2,700 are made in years 2 and 3, respectively, and a withdrawal of $650 is made in year 5. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)
FUTURE VALUE?
A2 5b
This question consists of three parts. When performing the calculations, keep as many decimal places as you can for intermediate answers, but round your final answers to two decimal places.
b. You have purchased a three-year inflation-indexed investment. This investment will pay you $X every six months, with each payment adjusted upward for inflation. Let’s say that the proposed first payment is $300 (before inflation adjustment), the average forecasted inflation rate will be 0.5% every six months for the next three years, and your required annual rate of return is 6% (compounded semi-annually). What is the present value of this inflation-indexed investment? (Hint: You cannot use a financial calculator to solve this problem.)
may i please have the answer in formula version?

- 1. Find how long will it take for money to triple at {0.05, m = 2} The rule of 72 provides a fast computation in finding the number of years required to double an amount at a given interest rate, just divide the interest rate into 72. For example, if you want to know how long it will take to double your money at 6%, divide 72 by 6 and get 9 years. The rule of 72 is accurate, as long as the interest rate is less than 20%. If the unknown is the interest rate, run backward. Hence to double an amount in 8 years, just divide 72 by 9 to find that it will require an interest rate of about 8%.arrow_forward1An annual percentage rate (APR) is determined by annualizing the rate using compound interest.
