Based on the given data, pls find below workings, formulae and answers:
Q 16: Answer D = $ 1586.87
Q 17: Answer D = $ 5975.32
Q 18: Answer B = $ 30884 (Step 1, to calculate the value (PV) at the end of Year 5 and then as step 2, using the same PV at Year 5 as FV, need to calculate the PV as of today)
Q 19: Answer B = $ 1588.45 (Step 1, to calculate the value (FV) at the end of Year 5 (Today) and then as step 2, using the same FV at Year 5 (today) as PV, need to calculate the PMTs for next five years)
Q 20: Answer E = None of the Above; The actual value is $ 9226.88 (Step 1, to calculate the value (FV) at the end of Year 2 (From two yeas from now) and then as step 2, using the same FV as PV, need to calculate the Future Value at the end of Year 10 (6 years) at reduced interest; Similarly, from need to calulate additional FV on the deposits made for 6 years at reduced interest.
