To rank: The alternatives from the most valuable to least valuable if the rate of interest is 5% for a year.
Introduction:
The present value is an amount that an individual has to make for an investment at present in order to generate the cash flow in future. The present value of the cash flows can be computed by adding the cash flow of every stream.

- 3. An investment promises two payments of $500, on dates 3 and 6 months from today. If the required return on investment is 9%: a) What is the value of the investment today?arrow_forwardYou deposit $100 today, $200 one year from now, and $300 three years from now. How much money will you have at the end of year three if there are different annual interest rates per period according to the following diagram?arrow_forwardAssume that at the beginning of the year, you purchase an investment for $6,300 that pays $130 annual income. Also assume the investment's value has increased to $6,900 by the end of the year. a. What is the rate of return for this investment? Note: Input the amount as a positive value. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places. Rate of return % b. Is the rate of return a positive or a negative number? Positive Negativearrow_forward
- 1. This problem relates to Future Value, and Future income streams. Assume continuous compounding of interest. (a) Find the present value of a single future payment of FV = $50,000 to be made 20 years from now, assuming an interest rate of 5 percent. (b) Suppose you want a future income stream (annual payments) of FV (t) = 500t for 20 years. Find the present value of this income stream, assuming an interest rate of 5 percent.arrow_forwardSuppose the interest rate is 3.6% b. Having $650 in one year is equivalent to having what amount today? c. Which would you prefer, $650 today or $650 in one year? Does your answer depend on when you need the money? Why or why not? **round to the nearest cent**arrow_forwardSuppose $100 is invested at the end of each year for the next 5 years into an account paying an interest rate r% p.a. How much can be drawn at the end of the 5 years? Approach (i) The first $100 is contributed in one year's time and has to wait 4 years to "mature". Write an equation describing this. (ii) The second $100 is contributed in two year's time and has to wait 3 years to "mature". Write an equation describing this. (iii) The third $100 is contributed in three year's time and has to wait 2 years to "mature". Write an equation describing this. (iv) Continue with this logic and sum all the matured values expressedarrow_forward
- Assume that at the beginning of the year, you purchase an investment for $7,200 that pays $100 annual income. Also assume the investment's value has decreased to $6,800 by the end of the year. (a) What is the rate of return for this investment? (Input the amount as a positive value. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.) Rate of return % (b) Is the rate of return a positive or negative number? Positive O Negativearrow_forward1) What is the loanable funds market? 2) Calculate the following: You save $100 and want to see how much you will earn based on the following interest rates Interest Rate Value after 1 month -1% ? 0.5% ? 1% ? 2% ? 3) What supply factors affect the Loanable Funds market? 4) What demand factors affect the Loanable Funds market?arrow_forwardSuppose you want to borrow $90,000 and you find a bank offering a 20-year loan with an APR of 5%. a. Find your regular payments if you pay n = 1, 12, 26, 52 times a year. b. Compute the total payout for each of the loans in part (a). c. Compare the total payouts computed in part (b). a. The payment for n = 1 would be $ The payment for n = 12 would be $ The payment for n = 26 would be $ The payment for n= 52 would be $ (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest cent as needed.)arrow_forward
- Please respond b, c, d, and e if possible.arrow_forwardOutline the concept of present value. The interest rate is 7%. Use the concept of present value to compare the difference between €200 to be received in ten years time and €300 to be received in 20 years time. Problem 1: Assume the interest rate is 6%. In each of the following three cases, state which you would rather receive and briefly explain why: €200 today or €480 in two years? €205 today or €240 in one year? €1,000 in one year or €1,220 in two years? Problem 2: A company has an investment project that would cost €10 million today and yield a payoff of €15 million in four years. Should the firm undertake the project if the interest rate is 11%? 10%? 9%? 8%? Can you calculate the exact point at which the interest rate makes the difference between profitability and non-profitability? please make sure to fully explain the reasoning behindarrow_forwardUse the present value and future value tables to answer the following questions. A. If you would like to accumulate $2,600 over the next 5 years when the interest rate is 15%, how much do you need to deposit in the account? $fill in the blank 1 B. If you place $6,300 in a savings account, how much will you have at the end of 7 years with a 12% interest rate? $fill in the blank 2 C. You invest $7,000 per year for 11 years at 12% interest, how much will you have at the end of 11 years? $fill in the blank 3 D. You win the lottery and can either receive $740,000 as a lump sum or $50,000 per year for 20 years. Assuming you can earn 8% interest, which do you recommend and why? Take the lump sum $740,000 because it is more money.arrow_forward
