Answer 1

Q9. Number of Periods = 31
Rate = 5.4%
Annuity due = 83,000
Value of fund at retirement = (1+r)*annuity* (1-(1+r)^-n)/r = (1+5.4%)*83000*(1-(1+5.4%)^-31)/5.4% = 1,302,740

Q10. Rate =8%
Number of periods = 35
FV of fund = 1,000,000
Amount of deposit = FV/((1+r)ⁿ-1)/r = 1,000,000/((1+8%)³⁵-1)/8% = 5803

Q11. Rate per month = 5%/12
Number of Periods = 12*30 = 360
Annuity = 6000
PV of fund = Annuity*(1-(1+r)^-n)/r = 6000*(1-(1+5%/12)^-360)/(5%/12) = 1,117,689.70

Q12. Number of Periods = 35*12 = 420
Rate per month = 7%/12
FV = 2,400,000
PMT = FV/((1+r)ⁿ-1)/r = 2,400,000/((1+7%/12)³⁵-1)/(7%/12) =1333

Max 4 subparts can be solved.
