Suppose a relative has promised to give you $1,000 as a wedding gift the day you get engaged. Assuming a constant interest rate of 5%, consider the present and future values of this gift, depending on when you become engaged.

Complete the first row of the table by determining the value of the gift in one and two years if you become engaged today.

Date Received	Present Value	Value in One Year	Value in Two Years
Date Received	(Dollars)	(Dollars)	(Dollars)
Today	1,000.00	?	?
In 1 year	?	1,000.00
In 2 years	?		1,000.00

Complete the first column of the table by computing the present value of the gift if you get engaged in one year or two years.

The present value of the gift is (Greater/Smaller) if you get engaged in two years than it is if you get engaged in one year.

(show work) 2 If you deposit $1,000 now and are promised payments of $500 three years from now and $1,500 five years from now, the equation that will yield the correct rate of return is: A) -1000 = 500(P/F,i,3) + 1500(P/F,i,5) B) 0 = 1000 + 500(P/F,i,3) + 1500(P/F,i,5) C) 1000 = -500(P/F,i,3) - 1500(P/F,i,5) D) 0 = -1000 + 500(P/F,i,3) + 1500(P/F,i,5) 3 For the equation: 5,000 = 1,000(P/F,i,1) - 2,000(P/F,i,2) + 7,000(P/F,i,7) + 7,000(P/F,i,9),...
