- Define the stated (quoted) or nominal rate INOM as well as the periodic rate IPER. Will the future value be larger or smaller if we compound an initial amount more often than annually—for example, every 6 months, or semiannually—holding the stated interest rate constant? Why? What is the future value of $100 after 5 years under 12% annual compounding? Semiannual compounding? Quarterly compounding? Monthly compounding? Daily compounding? What is the effective annual rate (EAR or EFF%)? What is the EFF% for a nominal rate of 12%, compounded semiannually? Compounded quarterly? Compounded monthly? Compounded daily?arrow_forwardValue of an Annuity Using the appropriate tables, solve each of the following. Required: 1. Beginning December 31, 2020, 5 equal withdrawals are to be made. Determine the equal annual withdrawals if 30,000 is invested at 10% interest compounded annually on December 31, 2019. 2. Ten payments of 3,000 are due at annual intervals beginning June 30, 2020. What amount will be accepted in cancellation of this series of payments on June 30, 2019, assuming a discount rate of 14% compounded annually? 3. Ten payments of 2,000 are due at annual intervals beginning December 31, 2019. What amount will be accepted in cancellation of this series of payments on January 1, 2019, assuming a discount rate of 12% compounded annually?arrow_forwardEffective Cost of Short-Term Credit Yonge Corporation must arrange financing for its working capital requirements for the coming year. Yonge can: (a) borrow from its bank on a simple interest basis (interest payable at the end of the loan) for 1 year at a 12% nominal rate; (b) borrow on a 3-month, but renewable on rate with 12 end-of-month payments; or (d) obtain the needed funds by no longer taking discounts and thus increasing its accounts payable. Yonge buys on terms of 1/15, net 60. What is the effective annual cost (not the nominal cost) of the least expensive type of credit, assuming 360 days per year?arrow_forward
