Answer to Problem 16QP

A bond with a face value of $50 would double its value in 20 years, if the rate of return is 3.53%.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Person X purchased a bond worth $50. He plans to hold it for 20 years until the value of the bond, doubles.

The formula to calculate the rate of return:

P×(1+r)t=FV

Where,

“P” refers to the principal amount invested,

“r” refers to the simple rate of interest,

“t” refers to the number of years or periods of investment,

“FV” refers to the future value or the current market value.

Compute the rate of return:

The present value of the bond is $50. He plans to invest for 20 years until the value of the bond, doubles. Hence, the future value of the bond will be $100 ($50×2) .

P×(1+r)t=FV$50×(1+r)20=$100(1+r)20=$100$50(1+r)20=2

1+r=2120r=1.03531r=0.0353 or 3.53%

Hence, the rate of return is 3.53% per year.

Answer to Problem 16QP

The value of the bond in 2022 will be $53.08.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Person X will purchase a bond worth $50 in 2012. He plans to hold it until 2022 that is for 10 years. The rate of interest on the bond is 0.60 percent per year.

The formula to compute the future value:

FV=PV×(1+r)t

Where,

“FV” refers to the future value or the current market value,

 “PV” refers to the present value,

“r” refers to the simple rate of interest,

“t” refers to the number of years or periods of investment.

Compute the future value:

FV=PV×(1+r)t=$50×(1+0.0060)10=$50×1.061646=$53.08

Hence, the future value of investment after 10 years is $53.08.

Answer to Problem 16QP

The bond has to fetch a return of 7.18% per year to double its value in 2032.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Person X purchased a bond worth $50 in 2012. He plans to hold it until 2022 that is for 10 years. The rate of interest on the bond is 0.60 percent per year. The future value of this bond in 2022 will be $53.08 (Refer Part (b) of the Answer). Instead of cashing the bond at $53.08, he plans to reinvest the bond value until the value of the bond doubles in 2032.

The formula to calculate the rate of return:

P×(1+r)t=FV

Where,

 “P” refers to the principal amount invested,

“r” refers to the simple rate of interest,

“t” refers to the number of years or periods of investment,

“FV” refers to the future value or the current market value.

Compute the rate of return:

The present value of the bond is $53.08 in 2022. He plans to invest for 10 years until the value of the bond doubles in 2032. Hence, the future value of the bond will be $106.16 ($53.08×2) .

P×(1+r)t=FV$53.08×(1+r)10=$106.16(1+r)10=$106.16$53.08(1+r)10=2

1+r=2110r=1.07181r=0.0718 or 7.18%

Hence, the bond has to fetch a return of 7.18% per year to double its value in 2032.

Larry Davis borrows $80,000 at 14 percent interest toward the purchase of a home. His mortgage is for 25 years. a. How much will his annual payments be? (Although home payments are usually on a monthly basis, we shall do our analysis on an annual basis for ease of computation. We will get a reasonably accurate answer.) b. How much interest will he pay over the life of the loan? c. How much should be willing to pay to get out of a 14 percent mortgage and into a 10 percent mortgage with 25 years remaining on the mortgage? Assume current interest rates are 10 percent. Carefully consider the time value of money. Disregard taxes.
You are chairperson of the investment fund for the local closet. You are asked to set up a fund of semiannual payments to be compounded semiannually to accumulate a sum of $250,000 after nine years at a 10 percent annual rate (18 payments). The first payment into the fund is to take place six months from today, and the last payment is to take place at the end of the ninth year. Determine how much the semiannual payment should be. (a) On the day, after the sixth payment is made (the beginning of the fourth year), the interest rate goes up to a 12 percent annual rate, and you can earn a 12 percent annual rate on funds that have been accumulated as well as all future payments into the funds. Interest is to be compounded semiannually on all funds. Determine how much the revised semiannual payments should be after this rate change (there are 12 payments and compounding dates). The next payment will be in the middle of the fourth year.
If your Uncle borrows $60,000 from the bank at 10 percent interest over the seven-year life of the loan, what equal annual payments must be made to discharge the loan, plus pay the bank its required rate of interest? How much of his first payment will be applied to interest? To principal? How much of his second payment will be applied to each?
