Peter got a 8-year assignment in Argentina. Consequently, he will rent out his three-bedroom house in Hancock to an old friend, and given their friendship,
Peter only requires end of the year payments (thus no monthly pmts) to be deposited in a savings account created solely for this purpose. Rental income
will be 13,709 dollars per year but maintenance/repair costs will be 503 dollars in the first year and thereafter increase by 213 dollars per year. The tenant
will be doing the maintenance/repair operations and therefore, at the end of each year, deposits the annual rent amount net of maintenance costs.
Compute how much money will Peter have in his savings account upon his return (8 years from now) given that the proxy interest rate is 7% per year,
compounded annually. (note: round your answer to the nearest cent, and do not include spaces, currency signs, plus or minus signs, or commas)
Stan Moneymaker has the opportunity to purchase a certain U.S. Treasury
bond that matures in eight years and has a face value of $10,000. The
bond stipulates a fixed nominal interest rate of 8% per year but interest
payments are paid quarterly. Stan would like to earn 10% interest
(compounded quarterly) on his investment. How much should Stan pay for
the bond?
When you purchased your car, you took out a five-year annual-payment loan with an interest rate of 6.2% per year. The

a. You have owned the car for one year (so there are four years left on the loan)?
b. You have owned the car for four years (so there is one year left on the loan)?

If a payment is missed by even 1 day, the rate jumps to an APR of 24.5% for the remainder of the time she keeps the card or until the total debt is paid off. (This is not an uncommon practice for many banks that issue credit cards when you read the fine print.) The current balance is $2000 and there is a minimum payment of $20.83 per month at the 12.5% rate. Beth decided “enough already”; she decided to stop using the card immediately and pay the balance off as soon as her budget allowed. She realizes that if she misses a payment due date, the minimum will increase to $40.83 per month until the total balance is paid at this higher APR. a.
