Ms. Jane places $800 in a savings account paying 6% interest compounded annually. She wants to know
how much money will be in the account at the end of five years. Find the future value?
After 5 years:
FV5 = PV (1 + I) 5
= $800 (1.06) 5
= $1,070.58
Ms. Pam wishes to find the present value of $1,700 that will be received 8 years from now. Pam’s
opportunity cost is 8%. Find the present value?
PV = FVN / (1 + I) N
PV = FV8 / (1.08) 8
= $1,700 / (1.08) 8
= $918.46
3. Finding the Present Value of an Ordinary Annuity:
Brod Company, a small producer of plastic toys, wants to determine the most it should pay to purchase
a particular annuity. The annuity consists of cash flows of $700 at the end of each year for 5 years. The
firm requires the annuity to provide a minimum return of 8%. Use the Long Method for Finding the
Present Value of an Ordinary Annuity.
= $2,794.90
Mr. Moreno wishes to find the effective annual rate associated with an 8% nominal annual rate (r =
0.08) when interest is compounded (1) annually (m = 1); (2) semiannually (m = 2); and (3) quarterly (m =
4). Find the EAR for annually, semi-annually, and quarterly?
= (1 + 0.08 / 1) 1 – 1 = (1 + 0.08 / 2) 2 – 1
= 8.00% = 8.16%
EFF%= (1 + INOM/M) M – 1
= (1 + 0.08 / 3) 3 – 1
= 8.24%
PMT = $30,000/5.637
= $5,321.89
Say you borrow $6,000 at 10 percent and agree to make equal annual end-of-year payments over 4
years. To find the size of the payments, the lender determines the amount of a 4-year annuity
discounted at 10 percent that has a present value of $6,000. Calculate the equal periodic loan payment?
Interest Paid in Year 1 Principal Repaid in Year 1 Ending Balance after Year 1
INTt = Beg balt(I) PRIN = PMT – INT END BAL= BEG BAL – PRIN
