- You are willing to pay $15,625 now to purchase a perpetuity which will pay you and your heirs $1,350 each year, forever, starting at the end of this year. If you're required rate of return does not change, how much would you be willing to pay if this were a 20-year, annual payment, ordinary annuity instead of a perpetuity?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is CORRECT? The present value of a 3-year, $150 ordinary annuity will exceed the present value of a 3-year, $150 annuity due. If a loan has a nominal annual rate of 8%, then the effective rate will never be less than 8%. If a loan or investment has annual payments, then the effective, periodic, and nominal rates of interest will all be different. The proportion of the payment that goes toward interest on a fully amortized loan increases over time. An investment that has a nominal rate of 6% with semiannual payments will have an effective rate that is smaller than 6%.arrow_forwardA discount interest loan is a loan arrangement where the interest and any other related charges are calculated at the time the loan is closed. Suppose a one-year loan is stated as $10,000 and the interest rate is 14%. Then, the borrower pays $1,400 interest up front, thereby receiving net funds of $8,600 and repaying $10,000 in a year. What is the effective interest rate on this one-year loan?arrow_forward
