Your Answer:

Answer 1

3c3.Information provided:

Future value= $75,706

Time= 5 years

Monthly interest rate= 14.25%

The annual payment is calculated by entering the below in a financial calculator:

FV= 75,706

N= 30

I/Y= 14.25

Press the CPT key and PMT to compute the annual payment.

The value obtained is 11,396.45.

Therefore, the annual payment is $11,396.45.

3b3.Information provided:

Monthly deposit= $323

Time= 13 years*12= 156 months

Monthly interest rate= 11.18%/12= 0.9317%

The question is solved by calculating the future value.

Enter the below in a financial calculator to compute the future value :

PMT= -323

N= 156

I/Y= 0.9317

Press the CPT key and FV to compute the future value.

The value obtained is 112,637.93.

Therefore, $112,637.93 will be in the account after I made the last payment.
