Question

1.) You will require $740 in 6 years. If you earn 4% interest on your funds, how much will you need to invest today in order to reach your savings goal? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round answer to 2 decimal places.)

Present value: $_________

2.) Compute the future value of a $170 cash flow for the same combinations of rates and times: (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round answer to 2 decimal places.)

Future Value

a. r = 10%, t = 9 years $

b. r = 10%, t = 18 years

c. r = 5%, t = 9 years

d. r = 5%, t = 18 years

3a.) What is the present value of a 3-year annuity of $170 if the discount rate is 5%? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round answer to 2 decimal places.)

3b.) What is the present value of the annuity in (a) if you have to wait 2 years instead of 1 year for the first payment? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round answer to 2 decimal places.)

Present value: $_________

Explanation / Answer

Solution.

1. Present value: $585.

OR $740 x .7903 = $585.

2.)

Condition                                Future Value

a. r = 10%, t = 9 years              $401

b. r = 10%, t = 18 years            $945

c. r = 5%, t = 9 years                  $264

d. r = 5%, t = 18 years                $409

*using simple interest formula for calculation.

3a.) present value of a 3-year annuity

Ans. $463

$170 x 2.723 = 462.91 or $463

3b . present value of the annuity

$170 x 5.075 = 862.75
