A company that makes modular bevel gear drives with a tight swing ratio for optimizing fork-lift vehicles was told that the interest rate on a loan would be an effective 3.5% per quarter, compounded monthly. The owner, confused by the terminology, asked you to help. What is the (a) APR, and (b) APY? (c) Explain how the EFFECT and NOMINAL functions can or cannot be used to find the APR and APY.
The present worth of a deposit of $1000 now and $1000 every 6 months for 10 years at an
interest rate of 10% per year, compounded semiannually is represented by which of the following
equations:
Select one:
a. P = 1000 + 1000(P/A,10.25%,10)
b. P = 1000 (P/A,5%,21)
c. P = 1000(P/A,5%,21)(F/P,5%,1)
%3D
d. P = 1000 (P/A,5%,20)
For the factor (F∕P,10%,43), find the percent difference between the interpolated and formula-calculated values, assuming the formula-calculated value is the correct one.
