Q 15) i) Future value of the following offers:
a) Offer 1 : Future value = Amount*(1 + rate) ^years
Amount = $1100 , Rate = 5% or 0.05 , years = 4
Offer 1: Future value = $1100*(1 + 0.05)^4
Offer 1: Future value = $1100 * 1.2155 = $1337.05
b) Offer 2 : Future value = Annual amount *(((1 + i) ^n) - 1) / i)
Annual amount = $250 , i = 5% or 0.05, n = 4
Future value = $250 * (((1 + 0.05)^4) - 1) / 0.05)
Future value = $250 * (0.2155 / 0.05) = $250 * 4.31
Future value = $1077.50
Ans: Offer 1 should be accepted due to it's higher future value of $1337.05 against offer 2 of $1077.50
ii) If Interest rate = 16% then
a) Offer 1: Future value = Amount * (1 + rate)^n
Amount = $1100, rate = 16% or 0.16, n = 4
Offer 1: Future value = $1100 * (1 + 0.16)^4
Offer 1: Future value = $1100 * 1.8106 = $1991.66
b) Offer 2: Future value = Annual amount * (((1+r)^n) - 1) / i)
Annual amount = $500, r = 16% or 0.16, n = 4
Offer 2: Future value = $500 * (((1+0.16)^4) - 1) / 0.16) = $500 * (0.8106/0.16)
Offer 2: Future value = $500 * 5.0663 = $2533.15
Ans: Offer 2 should be accepted due to it's higher future value than offer 1.
Q 16) Interest and principal schedule:
Year | Opening balance | Interest @ 6% (Opening balance * 6%) | Principal (Annual payment - Interest) | Closing balance (Opening balance - Principal) |
1 | 270000 | 16200 | 11600 | 258400 |
2 | 258400 | 15504 | 12296 | 246104 |
3 | 246104 | 14766.24 | 13033.76 | 233070.24 |
i) Annual payments = Loan / ((1 - (1+i)^-n) / i)
Annual payments =270000/((1-(1+0.06)^-15)/0.06)
Annual payments = 270000 /9.7123 = 27800
ii) 1st year interest = 16200
iii) 1st year loan repaid = 11600
iv) 2nd year interest = 15504
v) balance after 2nd year = 246104
vi) As interest calculated on the opening year loan balance due to which interest changed.
