An equation of the form y=1 = 7000 (1.09)* provides an example of interest compounded annually. This means that the full 9% of interest is added to the account at the end of one year. This doesn't sound very fair to someone that invests their money for 11 months-they get no interest at all. This became a competitive disadvantage for financial institutions, and some began to divide the annual interest into periodic shares, so that (for example) you could get 1/12th of that 9% each month. When this happens, we say that interest is compounded monthly. Interest can also be compounded weekly (52 times per year), quarterly (4 times per year), daily (365 times per year), or really any other period you could think of. If interest is compounded monthly, what growth factor would be needed to provide 1/12th of 9% interest each month? (Think about the difference between interest rate and growth factor.) The growth factor would be X

Suppose you think if you were to retire right now, you would have needed $50,000 each year to supplement your social security and maintain your desired lifestyle. But because there is on average 3% annual inflation, when you retire 30 years from now, you need more than $50,000 per year to maintain the lifestyle you like. How much will be equivalent to $50,000 at retirement time when adjusted for inflation? What will be the face value of the bond that yields the equivalent of $50,000, found in #4 of Part B in coupon payment? How much annual payment in the retirement account is needed to accumulate the amount needed to purchase the bond when retiring? What is the purchase power of the amount that will be received by your inheritors, measured in the current value of $ at the time of opening the retirement account? (Hint: First calculate what the future value will be in 30 years, which is equivalent to $50,000 now and then solve the rest of the problem).
