Please show calculations, where necessary.

1. A father will make his son’s first $100,000 college tuition payment 10 years from now.
How much will he need to invest today to meet his first tuition goal, if the investment is
expected to earn 10% annually.

2. A client can choose between receiving 12 annual $120,000 retirement payments, starting
one year from today, or receiving a lump sum today. Knowing that he can invest at a rate
of 12% annually, he has decided to take the lump sum. What lump sum today will be
equivalent to the future annual payments?

3. For liquidity purposes, a client keeps $175,000 in a bank account. The bank quotes a stated
annual interest rate of 7% annually. The bank’s service representative explains that the
stated rate is the rate one would earn if one were to cash out rather than invest the interest
payments.
a. With quarterly compounding, how much will your client have in his account at the
end of one year, assuming no additions or withdrawals?

b. With monthly compounding, how much will he have in his account at the end of
one year, assuming no additions or withdrawals?

4. Two years from now, a client will receive the first of three annual payments of $25,000
from a small business project. If she can earn 9% annually on her investments and she plans
to retire in five years, how much will the three business project payments be worth at the
time of her retirement?
5. A couple makes a down payment of $10,000 down on the purchase of a new home. The
bank finances a mortgage of $400,000 at 6.5% over a term of 3 years. The loan requires
quarterly payments. Determine approximate payment, in addition to total interest paid over
the life of the loan (use amortization schedule).
6. A man invests $100,000 between two separate funds. One fund pays 9% simple interest
annually while the second fund pays 9.5% simple interest annually. If the man earns a total
of $3,630 interest at the end of the first year, how much did he invest in each fund?

7. Determine the answer to each of the following questions.


a. Find the Future Value of $3500 invested today at 9% for 10 years.

b. Find the Present Value of $7000 received 10 years from today if the discount rate
is 11%.
c. Find the Future Value of $4000 per year (at the end of each year) invested at 6%
for 7 years.

d. Find the Present Value of $5000 per year (at the end of each year) if the discount
rate is 15% for 16 years.

8. Find the interest rates implied by the contract: You borrow $2500 today and promise to
repay the loan by making a single payment of $3114.00 in 5 years.

9. If $3000 is invested today at a 12% nominal interest rate, how much will it be worth in 13
years if interest is compounded
a. Annually
b. Quarterly

c. Monthly

14. Your firm has a retirement plan that matches all contributions on a one-to-two basis. That
is, if you contribute $3000 per year, the company will add $1500 to make it $4500. The
firm guarantees a 9% return on your investment. Alternatively, you can “do-it-yourself”
and you think you can earn 12% on your money by doing it this way. The first contribution
will be made 1 year from today. At that time, and every year thereafter, you will put $3000
into the retirement account. If you want to retire in 25 years, which way are you better off?
15. You are considering purchasing a new home. The house you are looking at costs $120,000
and you plan to make a 10% down payment. You checked with a bank and they have two
mortgage loan options for you. The first is a 15-year mortgage at 6.25%. The second is a
30year mortgage at 6.50%. What are your monthly payments for each loan?
