a. $520 to grow to $1,483.62 in 11 years ?
b. $280 to grow to $479.87 in 7 years ?
c. $50 to grow to $363.17 in 19 years ?
d. $216 to grow to $289.06 in 5 years ?
At what annual rate would $520 have to be invested to grow to $1483.62 in 11 years? Round to the nearest whole percent.
a.Information provided:
Present value= $520
Future value= $1,463.62
Time= 11 years
The annual rate is calculated by computing the yield to maturity.
Enter the below in a financial calculator to compute the annual rate:
PV= -520
FV= 1,463.62
N= 11
Press the CPT key and I/Y to compute the annual rate.
The value obtained is 9.8644.
Therefore, the annual rate is 9.86%.
b.Information provided:
Present value= $280
Future value= $479.87.
Time= 7 years
The annual rate is calculated by computing the yield to maturity.
Enter the below in a financial calculator to compute the annual rate:
PV= -280
FV= 479.87
N= 7
Press the CPT key and I/Y to compute the annual rate.
The value obtained is 8.
Therefore, the annual rate is 8%.
c.Information provided:
Present value= $50
Future value= $363.17
Time= 19 years
The annual rate is calculated by computing the yield to maturity.
Enter the below in a financial calculator to compute the annual rate:
PV= -280
FV= 479.87
N= 7
Press the CPT key and I/Y to compute the annual rate.
The value obtained is 11.
Therefore, the annual rate is 11%.
d. Information provided:
Present value= $216
Future value= $289.06
Time= 5 years
The annual rate is calculated by computing the yield to maturity.
Enter the below in a financial calculator to compute the annual rate:
PV= -216
FV= 289.06
N= 5
Press the CPT key and I/Y to compute the annual rate.
The value obtained is 6
Therefore, the annual rate is 6%.
