Answer 1

Answer 1.

Annual Interest Rate = 6%
Quarterly Interest Rate = 1.5%

Present Value = $900/1.015^4 + $600/1.015^8 + $0/1.015^12 + $1,100/1.015^16
Present Value = $2,247.24

Answer 2.

Present Value = $500
Semiannual Period = 46 (23 years)
Annual Interest Rate = 9%
Semiannual Interest Rate = 4.5%

Future Value = $500 * 1.045^46
Future Value = $3,787.21

Answer 3-a.

Annual Deposit = $1,300
Annual Interest Rate = 8.6%
Period = 23 years

Accumulated Sum = $1,300 * FVIFA(8.6%, 23)
Accumulated Sum = $1,300 * (1.086^23 - 1) / 0.086
Accumulated Sum = $85,700.05

Answer 3-b.

Annual Deposit = $1,300
Annual Interest Rate = 8.6%
Period = 46 years

Accumulated Sum = $1,300 * FVIFA(8.6%, 46)
Accumulated Sum = $1,300 * (1.086^46 - 1) / 0.086
Accumulated Sum = $657,266.93
