4-51. A cash flow series increases geometrically at the rate of 6% per year. The initial payment in the first year is $5000 with increasing annual payment ending at the end of 20 years. The interest rate in effect is 15% compounded annually for the first eight years and 5% compounded annually for the 12 remaining years. Find the present amount that is equivalent to the cash flow?

Compound interest is a very powerful way to save for your retirement. Saving a little and giving it time to grow is often more effective than saving a lot over a short period of time. To illustrate this, suppose your goal is to save $1 million by the age of 70. What amount of money will be saved by socking away $3,038 per year starting at age 23 with a 7% annual interest rate. Will you achieve your goal using the long-term savings plan? What amount of money will be saved by socking away $20,406 per year starting at age 48 at the same interest rate? Will you achieve your goal using the short-term savings plan? Click the icon to view the interest and annuity table for discrete compounding when i = 7% per year. The future equivalent of the long-term savings plan is $. (Round to the nearest dollar.) C
Suppose you start saving for retirement when you are 45 years old. You invest $5,200 the first year and increase this amount by 2% each year to match inflation for a total of 15 years.

You borrow $20,000 to purchase a car and will repay the loan in uniform monthly payments for the next 48 months. The first payment is due one month after the purchase of the car. If the interest rate is 1% per month, determine the amount of your monthly car payment. Assuming you make each payment as scheduled, how much total interest will you pay over the four-year period?
Jack Townsend is a soda pop “addict” and wonders how much money he could accumulate if he stopped drinking soda pop and deposited the $90 per month he spends on the stuff into a savings plan. If Jack is 20 years old, what amount should he have at retirement, 50 years from now, if he deposited $90 at the end of each month and his savings plan earned 6.75% compounded monthly?
