Explanation of Solution

Future value:

The future value is value of present amount compounded at an interest rate until a particular future date

1.

When annual rate is 12% and compounded annually. The interest rate column will be 12% and the number of periods will be 2.

2.

When annual rate is 6% and compounded semi-annually. The interest rate column will be 3% and the number of periods will be 4 because when future value is compounded semi-annually, the number of years will be doubled and the rate of interest will decrease by half of the given interest rate.

3.

When annual rate is 8% and compounded quarterly. The interest rate column will be 2% and the number of periods will be 8 because, when future value is compounded quarterly, the number of years will be increased by four times and the rate of interest will decrease by quarter of the given interest rate.

4.

When annual rate is 12% and compounded monthly. The interest rate column will be 1% and the number of periods will be 24, because the interest rate for each month will be 1% and number of period will be 24 because future value is estimated for 2 years.

How do I find the annual percentage rate with the effective interest rate?
For each of the following cases, indicate (a) to what rate columns, and (b) to what number of periods you would refer in looking up the interest factor. 1. In a future value of 1 table: Annual Rate Number of Years Invested Compounded (a) Rate of Interest a. 9% 12 Annually b. 8% 7 Quarterly C. 12% 16 Semiannually % % % (b) Number of Periods 2. In a present value of an annuity of 1 table: (Round "Rate of Interest" answers to 1 decimal place, e.g. 4.5% and other answers to O decimal places, e.g 45.) Annual Number of Years Rate Invested Number of Rents Involved Frequency of Rents (a) Rate of Interest (b) Number of Periods a. 10% 28 28 Annually b. 10% 15 30 Semiannually % % 8% 7 28 Quarterly %
Derive an equation to find the end-of-year future sum F that is equivalent to a series of n beginning-of-year payments B at interest rate i. Then use the equation to determine the future sum F equivalent to six B payments of $100 at 8% interest.
