8. Problem 08

Today, an investment you made three years ago has matured and is now worth 3000 dollars. It was a three-year deposit that bore an interest rate of 3%per year, compounded monthly. You knew at the time that you were taking a risk in making such an investment because interest rates vary over time and you "locked in" at 3% for three years.

(I) How much was your initial deposit? (II) Looking back over the past three years, interest rates for similar one-year investments did indeed varied. The interest rates were 1% in the first year, 3% in the second, and 7% in the third. Did you lose out by having locked into the 3% investment? If so, by how much?

a) I = 2661.29, Lost = 60.15 b) I = 2742.1, Lost = 60.2 c) I = 2582.93, Lost = 60.1 d) I = 2506.93, Lost = 60.05

a) 19.3701% b) 17.7559% c) 16.1417% d) 14.5276%

12. Problem 12 Bonds are investments that provide an annuity and a future value in return for a cost today. They have a face value, which is the amount for which they can be redeemed after a certain period of time. They also have a coupon rate, meaning that they pay the bearer (or holder) an annuity, usually semiannually, calculated as a percentage of the face value. For example, a coupon rate of 10% on a bond with an S8000 face value would pay an annuity of S400 each six months. Bonds can sell at more or less than the face value, depending on how buyers perceive them as investments.

If money can earn 8% compounded semiannually, and a bond maturing in 15 years with a face value of $1000 and a coupon rate of 3%. What is the bond’s worth today?

13. Problem 13 A bond with a face value of S1000 pays quarterly interest of 1.5% each period. Twenty-six interest payments remain before the bond matures. How much would you be willing to pay for this bond today if the next interest payment is due now and you want to earn 6% compounded quarterly on your money?

a) 624.47 b) 567.7 c) 510.93 d) 454.16

14. Problem 14 The Easy Loan Company advertises a "10%" loan. You need to borrow $1100, and the deal you are offered is the following: You pay $1210 ($1100 plus $110 interest) in 11 equal $110 amounts, starting one month from today. In addition, there is a $25 administration fee for the loan, payable immediately, and a processing fee of $11 per payment. Furthermore, there is a $20 non-optional closing fee to be included in the last payment. Recognizing fees as a form of interest payment, what is the actual effective interest rate? Hint: using linear interpolation method to calculate the monthly rate, then to calculate the APR and effective yearly rate?

a) Monthly Rate = 4.3641%, APR = 52.3693%, "Effective Yearly Rate = 65.4516% b) Monthly Rate = 3.9674%, APR = 47.6084%, "Effective Yearly Rate = 59.5015% c) Monthly Rate = 3.5706%, APR = 42.8476%, "Effective Yearly Rate = 53.5513% d) Monthly Rate = 3.1739%, APR = 38.0867%, "Effective Yearly Rate = 47.6012%

For example, a coupon rate of 10% on a bond with an S8000 face value would pay an annuity of S400 each six months. Bonds can sell at more or less than the face value, depending on how buyers perceive them as investments.

If money can earn 10% compounded semiannually, and a bond maturing in 15 years with a face value of $3000 and a coupon rate of 5%. What is the bond’s worth today?

If money can earn 15% compounded semiannually, and a bond maturing in 15 years with a face value of $8000 and a coupon rate of 10%. What is the bond’s worth today?

Hint: to calculate the worth of a bond today, sum together the present worth of the face value (a future amount) and the coupons (an annuity) at an appropriate interest rate.

a) 6201.72 b) 5637.92 c) 5074.13 d) 4510.34

13. Problem 13 A bond with a face value of S8000 pays quarterly interest of 1.5% each period. Twenty-six interest payments remain before the bond matures. How much would you be willing to pay for this bond today if the next interest payment is due now and you want to earn 13% compounded quarterly on your money?

a) 6201.72 b) 5637.92 c) 5074.13 d) 4510.34

14. Problem 14 The Easy Loan Company advertises a "10%" loan. You need to borrow $1800, and the deal you are offered is the following: You pay $1980 ($1800 plus $180 interest) in 11 equal $180 amounts, starting one month from today. In addition, there is a $25 administration fee for the loan, payable immediately, and a processing fee of $18 per payment. Furthermore, there is a $20 non-optional closing fee to be included in the last payment. Recognizing fees as a form of interest payment, what is the actual effective interest rate? Hint: using linear interpolation method to calculate the monthly rate, then to calculate the APR and effective yearly rate?

a) Monthly Rate = 4.0949%, APR = 49.1385%, "Effective Yearly Rate = 60.5588% b) Monthly Rate = 3.7226%, APR = 44.6714%, "Effective Yearly Rate = 55.0535% c) Monthly Rate = 3.3504%, APR = 40.2042%, "Effective Yearly Rate = 49.5481% d) Monthly Rate = 2.9781%, APR = 35.7371%, "Effective Yearly Rate = 44.0428%

They have a face value, which is the amount for which they can be redeemed after a certain period of time. They also have a coupon rate, meaning that they pay the bearer (or holder) an annuity, usually semiannually, calculated as a percentage of the face value. For example, a coupon rate of 10% on a bond with an S8000 face value would pay an annuity of S400 each six months. Bonds can sell at more or less than the face value, depending on how buyers perceive them as investments.

12. Problem 12 Bonds are investments that provide an annuity and a future value in return for a cost today. They have a face value, which is the amount for which they can be redeemed after a certain period of time. They also have a coupon rate, meaning that they pay the bearer (or holder) an annuity, usually semiannually, calculated as a percentage of the face value. For example, a coupon rate of 10% on a bond with an S8000 face value would pay an annuity of S400 each six months. Bonds can sell at more or less than the face value, depending on how buyers perceive them as investments.

If money can earn 14% compounded semiannually, and a bond maturing in 15 years with a face value of $16000 and a coupon rate of 9%. What is the bond’s worth today?

Hint: to calculate the worth of a bond today, sum together the present worth of the face value (a future amount) and the coupons (an annuity) at an appropriate interest rate.

12. Problem 12 Bonds are investments that provide an annuity and a future value in return for a cost today. They have a face value, which is the amount for which they can be redeemed after a certain period of time. They also have a coupon rate, meaning that they pay the bearer (or holder) an annuity, usually semiannually, calculated as a percentage of the face value. For example, a coupon rate of 10% on a bond with an S8000 face value would pay an annuity of S400 each six months. Bonds can sell at more or less than the face value, depending on how buyers perceive them as investments.

If money can earn 13% compounded semiannually, and a bond maturing in 15 years with a face value of $25000 and a coupon rate of 8%. What is the bond’s worth today?

If money can earn 9% compounded semiannually, and a bond maturing in 15 years with a face value of $31000 and a coupon rate of 4%. What is the bond’s worth today?

Hint: to calculate the worth of a bond today, sum together the present worth of the face value (a future amount) and the coupons (an annuity) at an appropriate interest rate.

a) 18376.11 b) 16538.5 c) 14700.89 d) 12863.28

13. Problem 13 A bond with a face value of S29000 pays quarterly interest of 1.5% each period. Twenty-six interest payments remain before the bond matures. How much would you be willing to pay for this bond today if the next interest payment is due now and you want to earn 14% compounded quarterly on your money?

a) 18376.11 b) 16538.5 c) 14700.89 d) 12863.28

14. Problem 14 The Easy Loan Company advertises a "10%" loan. You need to borrow $3900, and the deal you are offered is the following: You pay $4290 ($3900 plus $390 interest) in 11 equal $390 amounts, starting one month from today. In addition, there is a $25 administration fee for the loan, payable immediately, and a processing fee of $39 per payment. Furthermore, there is a $20 non-optional closing fee to be included in the last payment. Recognizing fees as a form of interest payment, what is the actual effective interest rate? Hint: using linear interpolation method to calculate the monthly rate, then to calculate the APR and effective yearly rate?

a) Monthly Rate = 3.5119%, APR = 42.1428%, "Effective Yearly Rate = 51.3155% b) Monthly Rate = 3.1607%, APR = 37.9285%, "Effective Yearly Rate = 46.184% c) Monthly Rate = 2.8095%, APR = 33.7143%, "Effective Yearly Rate = 41.0524% d) Monthly Rate = 2.4583%, APR = 29.5%, "Effective Yearly Rate = 35.9209%

12. Problem 12 Bonds are investments that provide an annuity and a future value in return for a cost today. They have a face value, which is the amount for which they can be redeemed after a certain period of time. They also have a coupon rate, meaning that they pay the bearer (or holder) an annuity, usually semiannually, calculated as a percentage of the face value. For example, a coupon rate of 10% on a bond with an S8000 face value would pay an annuity of S400 each six months. Bonds can sell at more or less than the face value, depending on how buyers perceive them as investments.

12. Problem 12 Bonds are investments that provide an annuity and a future value in return for a cost today. They have a face value, which is the amount for which they can be redeemed after a certain period of time. They also have a coupon rate, meaning that they pay the bearer (or holder) an annuity, usually semiannually, calculated as a percentage of the face value. For example, a coupon rate of 10% on a bond with an S8000 face value would pay an annuity of S400 each six months. Bonds can sell at more or less than the face value, depending on how buyers perceive them as investments.

If money can earn 8% compounded semiannually, and a bond maturing in 15 years with a face value of $40000 and a coupon rate of 3%. What is the bond’s worth today?

Hint: to calculate the worth of a bond today, sum together the present worth of the face value (a future amount) and the coupons (an annuity) at an appropriate interest rate.

They have a face value, which is the amount for which they can be redeemed after a certain period of time. They also have a coupon rate, meaning that they pay the bearer (or holder) an annuity, usually semiannually, calculated as a percentage of the face value. For example, a coupon rate of 10% on a bond with an S8000 face value would pay an annuity of S400 each six months. Bonds can sell at more or less than the face value, depending on how buyers perceive them as investments.

If money can earn 10% compounded semiannually, and a bond maturing in 15 years with a face value of $53000 and a coupon rate of 5%. What is the bond’s worth today?

Hint: to calculate the worth of a bond today, sum together the present worth of the face value (a future amount) and the coupons (an annuity) at an appropriate interest rate.

a) 39157.8 b) 35894.65 c) 32631.5 d) 29368.35

13. Problem 13 A bond with a face value of S50000 pays quarterly interest of 1.5% each period. Twenty-six interest payments remain before the bond matures. How much would you be willing to pay for this bond today if the next interest payment is due now and you want to earn 15% compounded quarterly on your money?

a) 39157.8 b) 35894.65 c) 32631.5 d) 29368.35

14. Problem 14 The Easy Loan Company advertises a "10%" loan. You need to borrow $6000, and the deal you are offered is the following: You pay $6600 ($6000 plus $600 interest) in 11 equal $600 amounts, starting one month from today. In addition, there is a $25 administration fee for the loan, payable immediately, and a processing fee of $60 per payment. Furthermore, there is a $20 non-optional closing fee to be included in the last payment. Recognizing fees as a form of interest payment, what is the actual effective interest rate? Hint: using linear interpolation method to calculate the monthly rate, then to calculate the APR and effective yearly rate?

a) Monthly Rate = 4.4824%, APR = 53.7893%, "Effective Yearly Rate = 65.2585% b) Monthly Rate = 4.1376%, APR = 49.6516%, "Effective Yearly Rate = 60.2386% c) Monthly Rate = 3.7928%, APR = 45.514%, "Effective Yearly Rate = 55.2188% d) Monthly Rate = 3.448%, APR = 41.3764%, "Effective Yearly Rate = 50.1989%

If she sells the house now, she can invest the money in a one-year guaranteed growth bond that pays 8% interest, compounded monthly. If she keeps the house, then the interest on the mortgage payments is 8% compounded daily. Julie is indifferent between the two options: selling the house now and keeping the house for another year. Please advise her on what to do.

a) She should sell the house now. b) She should keep the house for another year. c) It makes no difference between two options d) The problem cannot be solved as there isn’t enough information.

7. Problem 07

Determine how long it will take for a $100 deposit to double in value for each of the following interest rates and compounding periods.

(I) 17% per year, compounded monthly (II) 9% per year, compounded semiannually (III) 13% per year, compounded continuously

a) (I) 49.27 months, (II) 94.48 months, (III) 63.98 months b) (I) 59.76 months, (II) 71.37 months, (III) 83.18 months c) (I) 64.33 months, (II) 66.04 months, (III) 92.42 months d) (I) 69.66 months, (II) 61.47 months, (III) 103.97 months.

8. Problem 08

Today, an investment you made three years ago has matured and is now worth 3000 dollars. It was a three-year deposit that bore an interest rate of 12%per year, compounded monthly. You knew at the time that you were taking a risk in making such an investment because interest rates vary over time and you "locked in" at 12% for three years.

(I) How much was your initial deposit? (II) Looking back over the past three years, interest rates for similar one-year investments did indeed varied. The interest rates were 10% in the first year, 12% in the second, and 16% in the third. Did you lose out by having locked into the 12% investment? If so, by how much?

a) I = 2160.02, Lost = 59.8 b) I = 2096.77, Lost = 59.75 c) I = 2225.22, Lost = 59.85 d) I = 2292.45, Lost = 59.9

Clarence paid off an $410000 mortgage completely in 48 months. He paid $15200per month, and at the end of the first year made an extra payment of $7000. What interest rate was he charged on the mortgage?

Hint: using linear interpolation method to calculate the monthly rate hen to calculate the APR and effective yearly rate. To do this you assume two interest rate values then find the corresponding present worth values of all payments, and so on ….

a) 41.7478% b) 37.9525% c) 34.1573% d) 30.362%

12. Problem 12 Bonds are investments that provide an annuity and a future value in return for a cost today. They have a face value, which is the amount for which they can be redeemed after a certain period of time. They also have a coupon rate, meaning that they pay the bearer (or holder) an annuity, usually semiannually, calculated as a percentage of the face value. For example, a coupon rate of 10% on a bond with an S8000 face value would pay an annuity of S400 each six months. Bonds can sell at more or less than the face value, depending on how buyers perceive them as investments.

If money can earn 16% compounded semiannually, and a bond maturing in 15 years with a face value of $69000 and a coupon rate of 11%. What is the bond’s worth today?

Hint: to calculate the worth of a bond today, sum together the present worth of the face value (a future amount) and the coupons (an annuity) at an appropriate interest rate.

a) 54538.36 b) 49580.32 c) 44622.29 d) 39664.26

13. Problem 13 A bond with a face value of S66000 pays quarterly interest of 1.5% each period. Twenty-six interest payments remain before the bond matures. How much would you be willing to pay for this bond today if the next interest payment is due now and you want to earn 11% compounded quarterly on your money?

a) 54538.36 b) 49580.32 c) 44622.29 d) 39664.26

14. Problem 14 The Easy Loan Company advertises a "10%" loan. You need to borrow $7600, and the deal you are offered is the following: You pay $8360 ($7600 plus $760 interest) in 11 equal $760 amounts, starting one month from today. In addition, there is a $25 administration fee for the loan, payable immediately, and a processing fee of $76 per payment. Furthermore, there is a $20 non-optional closing fee to be included in the last payment. Recognizing fees as a form of interest payment, what is the actual effective interest rate? Hint: using linear interpolation method to calculate the monthly rate, then to calculate the APR and effective yearly rate?

a) Monthly Rate = 4.4499%, APR = 53.3984%, "Effective Yearly Rate = 64.6918% b) Monthly Rate = 4.1076%, APR = 49.2908%, "Effective Yearly Rate = 59.7155% c) Monthly Rate = 3.7653%, APR = 45.1832%, "Effective Yearly Rate = 54.7392% d) Monthly Rate = 3.423%, APR = 41.0757%, "Effective Yearly Rate = 49.7629%
