Explanation of Solution

Bank loan:

Monthly payment:

Given,

PV is $1,500.

i is 14%.

n is 1 years.

m is 12.

The formula to calculate the amount of monthly payment is,

PMT=PV×(im1(1+im)n×m)

Where,

  • PMT is Amount of monthly payment.
  • PV is the present value.
  • i is the rate of interest.
  • n is the number of years.
  • m is the number of payment in a year.

Substitute $1,500 for PV, 14% for i, 1 for n and12 for m in the above equation.

PMT=$1,500×(0.14121(1+0.1412)1×12)=$1,500×0.011610.8700=$125.70

The monthly payment is $125.70.

Total repayment:

Given,

Monthly repayment is $125.70.

Number monthly payment is 12.

Formula to calculate total repayment is,

Total repayment=Monthly payment×Number of monthly payment

Substitute $125.70 for monthly payment and 12 for number of monthly payment in the above formula.

Total repayment=$125.70×12=$1,508.4

Total repayment is $1508.4.

Store financing:

Total repayment:

Given,

Loan amount is $1,500.

Simple interest is $180.

Formula to calculate total repayment is,

Total repayment=Loan amount+Simple interest

Substitute $1,500 for loan amount and $180 for simple interest in the above formula.

Total repayment=$1,500+$180=$1,680

Total repayment is $1,680.

Monthly installment:

Given,

Total repayment is $1,680.

Number of monthly payment is 12.

Formula to calculate monthly payment is,

Monthlypayment=Total repaymentNumber of monthly payment

Substitute $1,680 for total repayment and 12 for number of monthly payment in the above formula.

Monthlypayment=$1,68012=140

Monthly payment is $140.

Working note:

Calculation for simple interest,

Simple interest=Rate×Loan amount=12100×$1,500=$180

Monthly payment and total repayment is low for bank loan than store financing even when the rate on bank loan is high because interest on bank loan is decreasing with each payment but interest on store loan is on whole loan amount for whole year.

Conclusion

Hence, monthly payment and total repayment is lower for bank loan.

Treasury securities are issued and backed by the U.S. government and, therefore, are considered to be the lowest-risk securities on the market. As an investor looking for protection against inflation, you are considering the purchase of inflation-adjusted bonds known as U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS). With these securities, the face value (which is paid at maturity) and the bond interest rate (which is paid semiannually) is regularly adjusted to account for inflation. However, for this problem only, assume the semi-annual interest payment (called the bond dividend) remains the same. You purchased a 10-year $10,000 TIPS bond with dividend of 4% per year payable semiannually (i.e., $200 every 6 months).

You use an expected investment return of 11% per year compounded semiannually. NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an…
