Suppose you were given a one time gift of $10,000 to put into a savings account. The account earns 3% per year. You are unable to withdraw any money from the account until you retire (assume 35 years). How much will the account be worth when you retire?
Suppose an investor plans to make monthly deposits into an account that pays 9% interest, compounded monthly, so that $100,000 will be in the account immediately after the payment at the end of Year 10. The first payment will occur at the end of Month 1 (one month from the present). How much must be deposited monthly?
Group of answer choices
A = F (F/A,0.75%,120) = $100,000 (193.517) = $19,351,700 per month
A = F (A/F,0.75%,10) = $100,000 (0.0967) = $9,670 per month
A = F (A/F,0.75%,120) = $100,000 (0.00517) = $517 per month
A = F (A/F,9%,10) = $100,000 (0.0658) = $6,580 per month
You borrow $5,000.00 and repay it back in monthly payments of $200.00 for three years. What is the APR you have been charged? What is the effective annual interest rate you have been charged?
