Answer 1

Q2

Nper = 4
Rate = 3.5%   
PMT = 0   
PV = Cpmpute PV => PV = 1960.51 Answer
FV = 2249.73

Q2b

NPER = 10

PMT =0

PV = -585.43

FV = 1000

Rate = Compute Rate => Rate = 5.50% Answer

Q2c

Rate = 16.35%

PMT = 0

PV = -2.75

FV = 2.75*3 =8.25

NPER = Compute NPER => NPER = 7.25 Answer

Q2d

NPER =5

Rate = 4%

PV =0

PMT =2500

FV = Compute FV => FV = 14082.44 Answer
