Find the following values using the equations and then a financial calculator. Compounding/discounting occurs annually. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest cent.
a. An initial $400 compounded for 1 year at 7%.
b. An initial $400 compounded for 2 years at 7%
c. The present value of $400 due in 1 year at a discount rate of 7%.
d. the present value of $400 due in 2 years at a discount rate of 7%
Question a
Future value=Present value*(1+interest rate)^number of years
=$400(1.07)^1=$428
Question b
Future value=Present value*(1+interest rate)^number of years
=$400*(1.07)^2=$457.96
Question c
Present value=Future value/(1+discount rate)^number of years
=$400/(1.07)^1=$373.83
Question d
Present value=Future value/(1+discount rate)^number of years
=$400/(1.07)^2=$349.38
