- You deposit $3,000 at the end of the year (k = 0) into an account that pays interest at a rate of 7% compounded annually. A year after your deposit, the savings account interest rate changes to 12% nominal interest compounded monthly. Five years after your deposit, the savings account again changes its interest rate; this time the interest rate becomes 8% nominal interest compounded quarterly. Eight years after your deposit, the saving account changes its rate once more to 6% compounded annually. a. How much money should be in the savings account 15 years after the initial deposit, assuming no further changes in the account's interest rate? b. What interest rate, compounded annually, is equivalent to the interest pattern of the saving account in Part (a) over the entire 15 year period?arrow_forwardBart is an engineering graduate who did not take Engineering Economics during his undergraduate studies.

- Suppose you win a raffle held at a neighborhood elementary school fundraiser and are given the choice between two different ways to be paid. You can either accept the money in a lump sum immediately or in a series of payments over time. If you choose the lump sum payout, you receive $2,950 today. If you choose to collect payments over time, you receive three payments: $1,000 today, $1,000 1 year from today, and $1,000 2 years from today. At an interest rate of 10% per year, the winner would be better off accepting the present value. At an interest rate of 12% per year, the winner would be better off accepting lump sum The lump sum is always better. The payments over time are always better. It will depend on the interest rate; advise her to get a calculator.
