Question

1. Suppose that 5 years from now you will receive $10,000 at the end of every year for 5 years. What is the present value of this annuity if the opportunity cost rate is 5%?

2. What is the future value of $300 deposited into a mutual fund account at the end of every month for the next 50 years?  Assume that your investment compounds monthly and that you earn 12% per year.

3. If you invest $1,000 today and earn $1,000,000 in 40 years, what is your time-compounded annual rate of return?

4. If you buy a house for $300,000 at 3.75% interest, what are your monthly payments for a 30 year conventional loan?  If you pay an extra $300 each month, by how much can you reduce the term of your loan?

Explanation / Answer

1)

Present value = P×(1÷(1+r)^n)

P is payment

r is interest rate per period

n is number of periods

= $10,000×(1÷(1+5%)^5)

= $7,835.26
