Chapter 5 Question 2 The formula used to compute the Future Values is the following: FV= PV . (1 + r)t Where FV = Future Value Years= t Interest rate= r Present Value= PV Calculation: FV= 2250 (1 + 0.1)11 FV= 2250 (2.85) FV= $6,419.51 FV= 8752 ( 1+0.08)7 FV= $14,999.39 FV= 76355 (1+0.17)14 FV=$687,764.17 FV= 183796 (1 + 0.07) 8 FV=$315,795.75 Question 8 CAGR = (Ending Value / Beginning Value)^(1 / Number of Years) – 1 CAGR = (34958 / 27641)^(1 / 5) – 1 CAGR= (1.2647154589)^1/5) -1 CAGR=1.048-1 CAGR= 0.48*100% CAGR=4.8% Question 9 To determine the number of periods (n) required for an investment to grow to a certain future value, you can use the formula for future value and solve for ( n )
FV = PV(1 + r)^n Where FV = Future Value PV = Present Value r = Interest Rate n = Number of Years Given FV = $190,000 (the cost of the BMW 3 series sedan) PV = $40,000 (the amount you have today) r = 4.8% = 0.048 n = log{FV/PV}}{\log(1 + r)} n = {log{190,000}/{40,000})}{log(1 + 0.048)} Using the formula: n = log({190,000}/{40,000})}/{log(1 + 0.048) n = {log(4.75)}/{log(1.048)} n = {0.6761}/{0.0202} n = 33.48 It will take approximately 33.48 years for your investment to grow to $190,000 at an annual interest rate of 4.8%. Question 16 a . To determine the yield on the Province of Ontario strip, we will use the compound interest formula: FV = PV(1 + r)^n Where: FV is the future value ($100 in this case, which the investor will receive upon maturity). PV is the present value ($76.04, which is the amount the investor is paying for the strip). r is the yield (annual interest rate) that we want to find. n is the number of years (which is slightly less than 6 years, but we can use 6 for our calculations).
r = {FV}\{PV}^{1/n} – 1) r = {100}/{76.04}^{1/6} – 1) r =1.3157^{1/6} – 1) r= 0.0467 r = 4.67% This means the yield on the Province of Ontario strip based on the $76.04 price was approximately 4.67%. b. To determine the annual rate of return for the investor who purchased the strip for $76.04 and sold it a year later for $81.00, we use the formula: Rate of Return = {Ending Price – Beginning Price}\{Beginning Price} Rate of Return = {81 - 76.04}/{76.04} Rate of Return= {4.96}/{76.04} Rate of Return= 0.0652 So, the annual rate of return is approximately 6.52%. C. Now, if an investor bought the security at $81.00 on February 2, 2017, and held it until maturity, the rate of return would be based on a 5-year investment (from 2017 to 2022). Using the compound interest formula: FV = PV(1 + r)^n r = {FV}/{PV} ^{1/n} - 1 r = {100}/{81)^{1/5} - 1 r= 1.2346^{1/5} - 1 r = 0.043 r= 4.3% Question 19 FV = PV(1 + r)^n Where: FV is the future value. PV is the present value or the initial investment ($5,000 in this case).

r is the interest rate (11% or 0.11). n is the number of years. a. If you start your investment now and let it grow for 45 years: FV = 5000(1 + 0.11)^{45} FV= 5000(1.11)^{45} FV= 5000(109.530) FV = $547,651.21 b. If you wait 10 years before contributing, you only let your investment grow for 35 years (45 years - 10 years): FV = 5000(1 + 0.11)^{35} FV= 5000(1.11)^{35} FV= 5000(38.575) FV= $192,874.26 Difference and Investment Strategy $547,651.21-$192,874.26= $354776.95 The difference between starting now and waiting for 10 years is substantial. This suggests the power of compound interest and the significance of starting investments early. Even with the same rate of return and the same initial investment, starting earlier gives your money more time to compound and grow.
