Please answer all If you can't answer all then please don't
answer just one question. i need all
2. You would like to buy a house in in 16 years
and estimate that you will need a deposit of $73,014. You plan to
make bi-weekly deposits into an account that you hope will earn
7.05%. How much do you have to deposit every two weeks?
3. You have accumulated $1,085.55 in debt by
buying things on Amazon during quarantine. The minimum
monthly payment is $24.87, If you make only the minimum payment, it
will take you 65 months to pay it off. If you pay $10 more per
month, you will pay it off in 36 months. How much total
interest will you save?
4. Your best friend opened an investment account
with a deposit of $185 today. They will continue to deposits every
two weeks into an account that they hope will earn an interest rate
of 8.48% per year. How much will they have in 5 years?
5. Your grandmother invested in an annuity to help
fund her retirement. She will receive monthly payments
of $4,532 over 18 years and she will receive her first
payment today. If the appropriate discount rate is 4.61%, how much
is the the annuity worth today?
2] | The deposit of $73014 is the FV of the biweekly payments, | |
the biweekly payments constituting an annuity. | ||
So, 73014 = A*((1+0.0705/52)^(16*52)-1)/(0.0705/52) = | ||
where A = the biweekly deposit. | ||
[The formula used above is the formula for finding PV of | ||
annuity] | ||
So, A = 73014*(0.0705/52)/((1+0.0705/52)^(16*52)-1) = | $ 47.43 | |
3] | Total amount paid at $24.87 per month = 24.87*65 = | $ 1,616.55 |
Total amount paid at $34.87 per month = 34.87*36 = | $ 1,255.32 | |
Total interest saved = 1616.55-1255.32 = | $ 361.23 | |
4] | Here what is to be found out is the FV of the annuity due. | |
FV = 185*((1+0.0848/52)^(5*52)-1)*(1+0.0848/52)/(0.0848/52) = | $ 59,942.84 | |
5] | The monthly annuities are an annuity due. The worth is the PV | |
of this annuity. | ||
Worth of the annuity today = 4532*((1+0.0461/12)^216-1)*(1+0.0461/12)/((0.0461/12)*(1+0.0461/12)^216) = | $ 666,921.33 |
