True / False Questions
1.
Compound interest pays interest for each time period on the original investment plus the
accumulated interest.
True
False
2.
For a given amount, the lower the discount rate, the less the present value. (should be the
higher the present value)
True
False
3
Converting an annuity to an annuity due decreases the present value. (should increase)
True
False
4
An effective annual rate must be greater than an annual percentage rate. (not necessary. If just
compounded annually once a year, EAR will be the same as APR)

to a common date.

A corporation has promised to pay $1,000 20 years from today for each bond sold now. No
interest will be paid on the bonds during the 20 years, and the bonds are discounted at an interest rate
of 7%, compounded semiannually. Approximately how much should an investor pay for each bond?
A.
$70.00
B.
$252.57
C.
$629.56
D.
$857.43
In this question, pay attention to “compounded” semiannually.
A bond is like a loan, with a face value (principle 1000 in this question) to pay at maturity. No interest is
paid. Question ask how much an investor should pay for this bond, AKA, the present value of this bond
today.
N=20 * 2 =40 (seminally compounded)
I/Y= 7/2=3.5
FV=1000
PMT=0,
CPT PV=
Please also try if it is annually compounded how much it will be, and compare with semiannually
compounded to see the difference.

Your retirement account has a current balance of $50,000. What interest rate would need to be
earned in order to accumulate a total of $1,000,000 in 30 years, by adding $6,000 annually?
A.
5.02%
B.
7.24%
C.
9.80%
D.
10.07%
This question shows,
PV=-50,000, PMT=-6000, N=30, FV=1000000, then CPT I/Y=7.24
Be careful of the sign of PV, PMT and FV.
19.
Approximately how much should be accumulated by the beginning of retirement to provide a
$2,500 monthly check that will last for 25 years, during which time the fund will earn 6% interest with
monthly compounding?

B.
$388,017.16
C.
$402,766.67
5
D.
$414,008.24
Answer:
this is to find PV of an annuity that last for 25 years, but monthly compounding.
Number of time preriods should be 25*12, and interest rate should use monthly rate 6%/12
Financial Calculator:
N=25*12, PMT=2500, I/Y=6/12, FV=0, CPT PV=388017.16
EXCEL: =PV(0.06/12,25*12,2500,0)=388017.16

With $1.5 million in an account expected to earn 8% annually over the retiree's 30 years of life
expectancy, what annual annuity can be withdrawn, beginning today?
A.
$112,148.50
B.
$120,000.00
C.
$123,371.44
D.
$133,241.15
PV=1500000, N=30, FV=0, I/Y=8, CPT PMT=?

21.
$50,000 is borrowed, to be repaid in three equal, annual payments with 10% interest.
Approximately how much principal is amortized with the first payment?
A.
$2,010.60
B.
$5,000.00
C.
$15,105.74
D.
$20,105.74
Payment = $50,000/[1/.1 - 1/.1(1.1)3]
Payment = $20,105.74
Principal payment = $20,105.74 - ($50,000 × .1)
Principal payment = $15,105.74
Please try to use financial calculator to solve this problem
22
An amortizing loan is one in which:
A.
the principal remains unchanged with each payment.
B.
accrued interest is paid regularly.
C.
the maturity of the loan is variable.
D.
the principal balance is reduced with each payment.
23
What will be the monthly payment on a home mortgage of $75,000 at 12% interest, to be
amortized over 30 years?
6
A.
$771.46
B.
$775.90
C.
$1,028.61
D.
$1,034.53
Payment = $75,000/[(1/.01) - 1/.01(1.01)360]
Payment = $771.46
Please try to use financial calculator to solve this problem
24.
If the effective annual rate of interest is known to be 16.08% on a debt that has quarterly
payments, what is the annual percentage rate?
A.
4.02%
B.
10.02%
C.
14.50%
D.
15.19%
APR = [(1.1608).25 - 1] × 4
APR = .1519, or 15.19%
Please try to use financial calculator to solve this problem
25.
Would a depositor prefer an APR of 8% with monthly compounding or an APR of 8.5% with
semiannual compounding?
A.
8.0% with monthly compounding
B.
8.5% with semiannual compounding
C.
The depositor would be indifferent.
D.
The time period must be known to select the preferred account.
EAR = [1 + (.08/12)]12 - 1 = 8.30%
EAR = [1 + (.085/2)]2 - 1 = 8.68%
The depositor will prefer the option with the higher EAR (effective annual rate).
