A cash flow at time zero (now) of $7,386 is equivalent to another cash flow that is an EOY annuity of $2,100 over five years (starting at year 1). Each of these two cash-flow series is
equivalent to a third series, which is a uniform gradient series. What is the value of G for this third series over the same five-year time interval? Assume that the cash flow at the end
of year one is zero.
Choose the correct answer below.
A. $1,050
B. $702
OC. $949
OD. $1,195
OE. Not enough information given.
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?
Consider the following two cash flow series of payments: Series A is a geometric series increasing at a rate of 6.5% per year. The initial cash payment at the end of year 1 is $1,000. The payments occur annually for 5 years. Series B is a uniform series with payments of value X occurring annually at the end of years 1 through 5. You must make the payments in either Series A or Series B.
Determine the value of X for which these two series are equivalent if your TVOM is i = 8.5 %.
If your TVOM is 8%, would you be indifferent between these two series of payments? Enter the PW for each series to support this choice.

If your TVOM is 5%, would you be indifferent between these two series of payments? Enter the PW for each series to support this choice.

- To make CDs look more attractive as an investment than they really are, some banks advertise that their rates are higher than their competitors' rates; however, the fine print says that the rate is based on simple interest.
