Chapter 4, Problem 19P

Universal Bank pays 7% interest, compounded annually, on time deposits. Regional Bank pays 6% interest, compounded quarterly.

  1. a. Based on effective interest rates, in which bank would you prefer to deposit your money?
  2. b. Could your choice of banks be influenced by the fact that you might want to withdraw your funds during the year as opposed to at the end of the year? In answering this question, assume that funds must be left on deposit during an entire compounding period in order for you to receive any interest.

Suppose that you owe $2500 on a credit card   that charges 18% APR and you pay either the   minimum, 10% or $20 whichever is higher, every   month. How long will it take you to eliminate the   debt?. Assume that the bank uses the previous   balance method to calculate your interest,   meaning that the bank does not subtract the   amount of your payment from the beginning   balance but charges you interest on the previous   balance.
The Bank pays $1,200 in a bank deposit after a period of 12 years at an annual interest rate of 6.5% How much should you deposit in your bank account now Future Value ? Discount Rate/Period ?    No. of Periods ? Present Value ?
Do the relevant calculations so you can indicate which you prefer: a bank account that pays 5.8% per year (EAR) for 3 years or a. an account that pays 2.6% every 6 months for 3 years? b. an account that pays 7.6% every 18 months for 3 years? c. an account that pays 0.58% per month for 3 years? (Note: Compare your current bank EAR with each of the three alternative accounts. Be careful not to round any intermediate steps less than six decimal places.) If you deposit $1 into a bank account that pays 5.8% per year for three years, the amount you will receive after three years is $ (Round to five decimal places.)
