The greater the number of compounding periods within a year,then (1)the greater the future value of a lump sum investment at Time 0 and (2)the greater the present value of a given lump sum to be received at some future date.

Suppose Randy Jones plans to invest $1,000.He can earn an effective annual rate of 5% on Security A,while Security B has an effective annual rate of 12%.After 11 years,the compounded value of Security B should be somewhat less than twice the compounded value of Security A.(Ignore risk,and assume that compounding occurs annually.)

Disregarding risk,if money has time value,it is impossible for the future value of a given sum to exceed its present value.

Your 75-year-old grandmother expects to live for another 15 years.She currently has $1,000,000 of savings,which is invested to earn a guaranteed 5% rate of return.If inflation averages 2% per year,how much can she withdraw (to the nearest dollar) at the beginning of each year and keep the withdrawals constant in real terms,i.e.,growing at the same rate as inflation and thus enabling her to maintain a constant standard of living?

Your bank offers a savings account that pays 3.5% interest,compounded annually.If you invest $1,000 in the account,then how much will it be worth at the end of 25 years?

Southwestern Bank offers to lend you $50,000 at a nominal rate of 6.5%,compounded monthly.The loan (principal plus interest) must be repaid at the end of the year.Woodburn Bank also offers to lend you the $50,000,but it will charge an annual rate of 7.0%,with no interest due until the end of the year.How much higher or lower is the effective annual rate charged by Woodburn versus the rate charged by Southwestern?

As a result of compounding,the effective annual rate on a bank deposit (or a loan)is always equal to or less than the nominal rate on the deposit (or loan).

You want to purchase a motorcycle 4 years from now,and you plan to save $3,500 per year,beginning immediately.You will make 4 deposits in an account that pays 5.7% interest.Under these assumptions,how much will you have 4 years from today?

You are considering investing in a European bank account that pays a nominal annual rate of 18%,compounded monthly.If you invest $5,000 at the beginning of each month,how many months would it take for your account to grow to $250,000? Round fractional months up.

Geraldine was injured in a car accident,and the insurance company has offered her the choice of $25,000 per year for 15 years,with the first payment being made today,or a lump sum.If a fair return is 7.5%,how large must the lump sum be to leave her as well off financially as with the annuity?

If we are given a periodic interest rate,say a monthly rate,we can find the nominal annual rate by dividing the periodic rate by the number of periods per year.

How much would $1,growing at 3.5% per year,be worth after 75 years?

Now that your uncle has decided to retire,he wants to buy an annuity that will provide him with $85,000 of income a year for 25 years,with the first payment coming immediately.The going rate on such annuities is 5.15%.How much would it cost him to buy the annuity today?

Which of the following statements regarding a 20-year (240-month) $225,000,fixed-rate mortgage is CORRECT? (Ignore taxes and transactions costs.)

A time line is not meaningful unless all cash flows occur annually.

Time lines can be constructed for annuities where the payments occur at either the beginning or the end of the periods.

A "growing annuity" is a cash flow stream that grows at a constant rate for a specified number of periods.
