1. TOPIC: Finding the unknown Rate (j) with two possible values of i (10 pts.)
At what interest rate payable quarterly will payments of P6,000 at the end of every 3 months for 2
years and 3 months, discharge a loan of P50,000, principal and interest included?

Given:
A = P50,000
R = P6,000
t = 2.25
m=4
n = (t)(m) = (2.25)(4) = 9

Required: j

Given:
R = P2,500
j = 0.10
t = 6/12 = 0.5
m = 12

𝐴 = 0.00833333
𝐴 = 5.82881753 x 2500
𝐴 = P14,572.04

Answer: Eric borrowed P14,572.04 from Kyle.

B. What is the equivalent amount of the loan at the end of 6 months?

Solution:

𝑆 = 14, 572. 04(1 + 0. 00833333)
𝑆 = P15,315.99

Answer: At the end of 6 months, the equivalent amount of the loan is P15,315.99.
3. What must you invest today to receive an $18,000 annuity for 5 years semiannually at a 10%
annual rate? All withdrawals will be made at the end of each period. (5 pts.)

Given:
R = $18,000
t=5
j = 0.1
m=2
n = (t)(m) = (5)(2) = 10

Answer: You must invest $138,991.23 to receive an $18,000 annuity for 5 years
semiannually at a 10% annual rate.

4. Rase High School wants to set up a scholarship fund to provide five $2,000 scholarships for the
next 10 years. If money can be invested at an annual rate of 9%. How much should the
scholarship committee invest today? (5 pts.)

Given:
R = $2,000
t = 10
j = 0.09
m=1
n = (t)(m) = (10)(1) - 10
i = j/m = 0.09/1 = 0.09

A = 𝑅[ 𝑖
]
−10
1−(1+0.09)
A = 2,000( 0.09

R = $12,835.32

Answer: $12,835.32 should be invested today at an annual rate of 9%.

Given:
R = 60,000
t = 30
j = 0.06
m=1
n = (t)(m) = (30)(1) = 30
i = j/m = 0.06/1 = 0.06
