Explanation / Answer

As per the rule, I can answer first four questions only.

R= 6%

FV = 2000

N = 2 years

We can calculate current amount of savings using the following formula,

PV =FV/ (1+r)^n

PV= 2000/ (1+0.06)^2

PV = 2000/1.1236

PV = 1780

Hence correct option is A.

2. We have:

R= 5%

PV = 500

N = 5 years

We have following formula for FV:

FV = PV x (1+r)^n

FV= 500 x (1+0.05)^5

     = 500 x 1.2763

     =638

Hence correct option is D.

3. We have:

R= 6%

PV = 10,000

N = 3 years

We have following formula for FV:

FV = PV x (1+r)^n

FV= 10,000 x (1+0.06)^3

     = 10,000 x 1.1910

     =11910

Hence correct option is D.

4.We have:

R= 6%

FV = 10,000

N = 5 years

We can calculate current amount of deposit using the following formula,

PV =FV/ (1+r)^n

PV= 10,000/ (1+0.06)^5

PV = 10,000/1.3382

PV = 7473

Hence correct option is C.
