(Round to the nearest cent.)arrow_forwardThe time value of money is used for many important financial decisions that could affect long-term goals. The interest rate you pay on a loan can affect the amount you pay each period. An advertised monthly lending rate of 9% is about 11% per year. This difference between an advertised rate and the annualized rate is based on finer TVM details that may be overlooked by borrowers. What practical TVM application would you expect to encounter in your future? Explain.arrow_forwardSuppose you invest $3,000 today and receive $10,000 in 25 years. a. What is the internal rate of return (IRR) of this opportunity? b.

- You want to buy a mobile phone today. You can either (A) pay 9.60 a month for 3 years, with the first payment due today, or (B) pay a single upfront cost of 249 today. If the interest rate is 3.4% per annum, calculate the present value of (A) less the present value of (B), which represents the difference in cost between the two options. Give your answer to two decimal places.arrow_forwardDo the following present value problems. You must set up all present value problems before calculation. Merely writing down the answer (even if it is correct) is an automatic zero. You must show your work.a. Suppose we have a four year fixed-payment loan with $900 payments made at the end of each year. Given a market interest rate of 7 percent, how much was initially borrowed?b. Suppose you were considering purchasing a $6300 machine today that would generate additionalnet profit of $2500 booked at the end of each year. Assuming you need a 10 percent annual return to justify the investment, would the investment be worth doing if you had only three years of payouts? Would your answer change if you only needed a 9 percent annual return on your investment ? Why or why not? You must use present value to demonstrate your answer, and show your work.c. Consider two zero coupon bonds in which you receive $100 at the maturity date, one maturing in 3 years and one maturing in 5 years.…arrow_forwardYou are considering an investment manufacturing cocoa powder.
