Let's say we have two credit cards from two different people. The first user's credit card has an interest rate of 5% APR on $500 of monthly spending. The second user's interest rate is 1% APR on $1000 of monthly spending. Let's say that each user pays off 60% of their statement each month. Which user would owe more in a year?

Chelsea has to pay a series of uniform annual payments over a fixed period of time to repay a loan that would amount to $1,000,000. If Chelsea has to pay $30,000 per year for a rate of 6%, how long should she pay these uniform payments in order to repay her loan?
A rich relative has bequeathed you a growing perpetuity. The first payment will occur in a year and will be $3,000. Each year after that, you will receive a payment on the anniversary of the last payment that is 4% larger than the last payment. This pattern of payments will go on forever. Assume that the interest rate is 15% per year. a. What is today's value of the bequest? b. What is the value of the bequest immediately after the first payment is made? ARCKICHI a. What is today's value of the bequest? Today's value of the bequest is $(Round to the nearest dollar. b. What is the value of the bequest immediately after the first payment is made?

Suppose that the typical consumer has a salary of $30,000 in 2017. His salary grows by 2% per year. What can we say about his ability to pay for his consumption basket over time?
You work for a bank that has just made two loans. In one, you lent $900 today in return for $1200 in one year. In the other, you lent $900 today in return for $10000 in 20 years. The difference between the loan amount and repayment amount is based on an interest rate of 8% per year. Imagine that immediately after you make the loans, news about economic growth is announced that increases inflation expectations, so that the market interest rate for loans like these jumps to 10%. Loans make up a major part of a bank’s assets, so you are naturally concerned about the value of these loans. What is the effect of the interest rate change on the value to the bank of the promised repayment of these loans?
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).
