CHAPTER 6

ANSWERS AND SOLUTIONS

1. PV and discount rate Answer: a Diff: E

2. Time value concepts Answer: e Diff: E

3. Time value concepts Answer: d Diff: E

Statements b and c are correct; therefore, statement d is the correct choice. The present value is
smaller if interest is compounded monthly rather than semiannually.

4. Time value concepts Answer: d Diff: E

Statements a and b are correct; therefore, statement d is the correct choice. The nominal interest
rate will be less than the effective rate when the number of periods per year is greater than one.

5. Time value concepts Answer: e Diff: E

As the effective rate is the same, the correct answer must be the one that has the largest amount
of money compounding for the longest time. This would be statement e. The easiest way to see
this is to assume an effective annual rate and then do the calculations:

Say the effective rate is 10 percent. For the semiannual investments, the nominal annual rate will
be 9.76 percent. To calculate the FV for A, enter the following inputs into the calculator: N = 10;
I/YR = 9.76/2 = 4.88; PV = 0; PMT = 50; and then solve for FV = $625.38.

Repeat this for the other 4 investments, using a 10 percent effective annual rate for Investments
D and E, and remembering to use BEGIN mode for Investments B and E. Investment E has the
largest future value ($671.56) using an effective annual rate of 10 percent.

6. Effective annual rate Answer: b Diff: E

The bank account that pays the highest nominal rate with the most frequent rate of compounding
will have the highest EAR. Consequently, statement b is the correct choice.

7. Effective annual rate Answer: d Diff: E

Statement d is correct; the other statements are false. Looking at responses a through d, you
should realize the choice with the greatest frequency of compounding will give you the highest
EAR. This is statement d. Now, compare choices d and e. We know EARd > 7.8%; therefore,
statement d is the correct choice. The EAR of each of the statements is shown below.

EARa = 8.30%; EARb = 8%; EARc = 8.24%; EARd = 8.328%; EARe = 7.8%.

8. Amortization Answer: b Diff: E

Statement b is true; the others are false. The remaining balance after three years will be
$100,000 less the total amount of repaid principal during the first 36 months. On a fixed-rate
mortgage the monthly payment remains the same.

Chapter 6 - Page 53
1. Amortization Answer: e Diff: E

Statements b and c are correct; therefore, statement e is the correct choice. Monthly payments will
remain the same over the life of the loan.

2. Quarterly compounding Answer: e Diff: E

If the nominal rate is 8 percent and there is quarterly compounding, the periodic rate must be
8%/4 = 2%. The effective rate will be greater than the nominal rate; it will be 8.24 percent. So the
correct answer is statement e.

3. Annuities Answer: c Diff: M

By definition, an annuity due is received at the beginning of the year while an ordinary annuity is
received at the end of the year. Because the payments are received earlier, both the present and
future values of the annuity due are greater than those of the ordinary annuity.

4. Time value concepts Answer: e Diff: M

If the interest rate were higher, the payments would all be higher, and all of the increase would be
attributable to interest. So, the proportion of each payment that represents interest would be higher.
Note that statement b is false because interest during Year 1 would be the interest rate times the
beginning balance, which is $10,000. With the same interest rate and the same beginning balance, the
Year 1 interest charge will be the same, regardless of whether the loan is amortized over 5 or 10
years.

5. Time value concepts Answer: e Diff: M

6. Time value concepts Answer: c Diff: M

Statement c is correct; the other statements are false. The effective rate of the investment in
statement a is 10.25%. The present value of the annuity due is greater than the present value of
the ordinary annuity.

10. FV of an annuity Answer: e Diff: M

Step 1: Determine the effective annual rate:


The nominal rate is 6 percent, but we need the effective annual rate.
Using the calculator, input the following data:
NOM% = 6; P/YR = 365; and then solve for EFF% = 6.1831%.

Step 2: Determine the future value of the annuity:


N = 3; I/YR = 6.1831; PV = -500; PMT = -1000; and then solve for FV = $3,787.92 
$3,788.

11. FV of an annuity Answer: c Diff: M

To calculate the solution to this problem, change your calculator to BEGIN mode. Then enter N =
35; I = 10; PV = 0; PMT = 3000; and then solve for FV = $894,380.4160. Add the last payment of
$3,000, and the value at t = 35 is $897,380.4160  $897,380.

12. FV of an annuity Answer: d Diff: M N

First, find the present values today of the two withdrawals to occur on the 25th and 30th birthdays
(in the 5th and 10th year of the problem, respectively).

PV today of $5,000 withdrawal five years from now:


N = 5; I = 12; PMT = 0; FV = 5000; and then solve for PV = -$2,837.13.

PV today of $10,000 withdrawal 10 years from now:


N = 10; I = 12; PMT = 0; FV = 10000; and then solve for PV = -$3,219.73.

Now, we subtract the PV of these withdrawals from our initial investment:


$5,000.00 - $2,837.13 - $3,219.73 = $-1,056.86.

Finally, we have our simple TVM setup with N, I, PV, and PMT, solving for FV:
N = 45; I = 12; PV = -1056.86; PMT = 500; and then solve for FV = $505,803.08  $505,803.

13. FV of annuity due Answer: d Diff: M

20. FV under non-annual compounding Answer: d Diff: M

First, find the FV of Josh’s savings as: N = 2  26 = 52; I = 10/26 = 0.3846; PV = 0; PMT = -100; and FV
= $5,744.29.

John’s savings will have two components, a lump sum contribution of $1,500 and his monthly
contributions. The FV of his regular savings is: N = 2  12 = 24; I = 10/12 = 0.8333; PV = 0; PMT = -
150; and FV = $3,967.04. The FV of his previous savings is: N = 24; I = 0.8333; PV = -1500; PMT = 0;
and FV = $1,830.59.

Summing the components of John’s savings yields $5,797.63, which is greater than Josh’s total
savings. Thus, the most expensive car purchased costs $5,797.63.

22. FV under quarterly compounding Answer: d Diff: M

Chapter 6 - Page 65
There are several ways of doing this. One way is:
First, find the periodic (quarterly) rate is 7%/4 = 1.75%.

Next, find the future value of each amount put in the account:
N = 12; I = 1.75; PV = -1000; PMT = 0; and then solve for FV = $1,231.4393. N = 8; I = 1.75; PV = -
2000; PMT = 0; and then solve for FV = $2,297.7636. N = 4; I = 1.75; PV = -3000; PMT = 0; and
then solve for FV = $3,215.5771.

Add up the future values for the answer: $6,744.78.

23. Non-annual compounding Answer: c Diff: M N

Step 1: Determine Bank A’s EAR:


EFF% = (1 + kNOM/m)m – 1
= (1 + 9%/4)4 – 1
= (1.0225)4 - 1
= 1.09308 – 1
= 9.308%.

Step 2: Determine Bank B’s nominal annual rate of return:


9.308% = (1 + kNOM/12)12 – 1
1.09308 = (1 + kNOM/12)12
1.00744 = 1 + kNOM/12
0.00744 = kNOM/12
0.08933 = kNOM.

Alternatively, with a financial calculator:


Step 1: NOM% = 9; P/YR = 4; and then solve for EFF% = 9.30833%.

Step 2: EFF% = 9.30833; P/YR = 12; and then solve for NOM% = 8.933%.

After you finish this problem, remember to change your calculator setting back to 1 P/YR.

30. Value of missing cash flow Answer: c Diff: M

Find the present value of each of the cash flows:


PV of CF1 = $325/1.12 = $290.18. PV of CF2 = $400/(1.12)2 = $318.88.
PV of CF3 = $550/(1.12)3 = $391.48. PV of CF5 = $750/(1.12)5 = $425.57. PV of CF6 = $800/(1.12)6
= $405.30. Summing these values you obtain $1,831.41. The present value of CF4 must then be
$2,566.70 - $1,831.41 = $735.29. The value of CF4 is ($735.29)(1.12)4 = $1,157.

32. Value of missing payments Answer: c Diff: M

Chapter 6 - Page 68
There are several different ways of doing this. One way is:
Find the future value of the first three years of the investment at Year 3.
N = 3; I = 7.3; PV = -24307.85; PMT = 2000; FV = $23,580.68.

Find the value of the final $10,000 at Year 3.


N = 7; I = 7.3; PMT = 0; FV = 10000; PV = -$6,106.63.

Add the two Year 3 values (remember to keep the signs right).
$23,580.68 + -$6,106.63 = $17,474.05.

Now solve for the PMTs over years 4 through 9 (6 years) that have a PV of $17,474.05.
N = 6; I = 7.3; PV = -17474.05; FV = 0; PMT = $3,700.00.

33. Value of missing payments Answer: d Diff: M

The project’s cost should be the PV of the future cash flows. Use the cash flow key to find the PV
of the first 3 years of cash flows.

CF0 = 0; CF1 = 100; CF2 = 200; CF3 = 300; I/YR = 10; NPV = $481.59.

The PV of the cash flows for Years 4-20 must be:


$3,000 - $481.59 = $2,518.41.

Take this PV amount forward to Time 3:


N = 3; I/YR = 10; PV = -2518.41; PMT = 0; and then solve for FV = $3,352.00.

This amount is also the present value of the 17-year annuity.

This is the PV of the mortgage (that is, the total amount they can borrow).

Step 3: Determine the down payment needed:


House prices are $139,112.89, and they can borrow only $75,153.78. This means the
down payment will have to be:
Down payment = $139,112.89 - $75,153.78 = $63,959.11.

This is the amount they will have to save to buy their house.

Step 4: Determine how much they need to deposit each year to reach this goal:
N = 5; I = 10; PV = -2000; FV = 63959.11; and then solve for PMT = $9,948.75  $9,949.

Step 1: The retirement payments, which begin at t = 2, must be:


$40,000(1 + Infl.)2 = $40,000(1.05)2 = $44,100.

Step 2: There will be 3 retirement payments of $44,100, made at t = 2, t = 3, and t = 4. We find the PV of
an annuity due at t = 2 as follows:
Set calculator to Begin mode. Then enter:
N = 3; I = 8; PMT = 44100; FV = 0; and then solve for PV = $122,742. If he has this
amount at t = 2, he can receive the
3 retirement payments.

Step 3: The $100,000 now on hand will compound at 8% for 2 years:


$100,000(1.08)2 = $116,640.

Step 4: So, he must save enough each year to accumulate an additional $122,742 - $116,640
= $6,102:
Need at t = 2 $122,742
Will have ( 116,640)
Net additional needed $ 6,102

Step 5: He must make 2 payments, at t = 0 and at t = 1, such that they will grow to a total of
$6,102 at t = 2.
This is the FV of an annuity due found as follows:
Set calculator to Begin mode. Then enter:

t = 3: $44,100(1.05) = $46,305.
t = 4: $46,305(1.05) = $48,620.

Step 2: Now we need enough at t = 2 to make the 3 retirement payments as calculated in


Step 1. We cannot use the annuity method, but we can enter, in the cash flow register,
the following:
CF0 = 44100; CF1 = 46305; CF2 = 48620. Then enter I = 8; and press  NPV to find

Step 4: The net funds needed is:


Need at t = 2 $ 128,659

Step 1: Determine the PV at his 64th birthday of the cash outflows from his 65th birthday to
his 84th birthday. Using a financial calculator, enter the following input data:
N = 20; I = 9; PMT = -100000; FV = 0; and then solve for PV = $912,854.57.

This is the amount he needs to have in his account on his 64th birthday in order to
make 20 withdrawals of $100,000 from his account.

Step 2: Determine the required annual payment (deposit) that will achieve this goal, given the
$1,000 original deposit. Using a financial calculator, enter the following input data:
N = 40; I = 9; PV = -1000; FV = 912854.57; and then solve for PMT = $2,608.73.

Step 1: Calculate the value of his deposits and the initial balance of his brokerage account at
age 65:
N = 20; I = 10; PV = 50000; PMT = 10000; and then solve for FV = $909,124.9924.

Step 2: Determine the amount of his 20-year annuity (withdrawals) based on the value of his
brokerage account determined above:
N = 20; I = 10; PV = 909124.9924; FV = 0; and then solve for PMT = $106,785.48.

Thus, he can withdraw $106,785.48 from the account starting on his 66th birthday, and do so for the
next 20 years, leaving a final account balance of zero on his last withdrawal on his 85th birthday.

72. Annuity due vs. ordinary annuity Answer: e Diff: T

There is more than one way to solve this problem.

Step 1: Draw the time line:

Bob P MT P MT P MT P MT
FV = $3M
Step 2: Determine each’s annual contribution:
Bill: He starts investing today, so use the BEG mode of the calculator.
Enter the following input data in the calculator:
N = 41; I = 12; PV = 0; FV = 3,000,000  1.12 = 3360000; and then solve for PMT =
$3,487.79. (The FV is calculated as $3,360,000 because the annuity will calculate the
value to the end of the year, until Bill is a second away from age 66. Therefore, since
he wants to have $3,000,000 by age 65, he would have $3,000,000  1.12 one second
before he turns 66.)
Bob: He starts investing at the end of this year, so use the END mode of the
calculator.
Enter the following input data in the calculator:
N = 40; I = 12; PV = 0; FV = 3000000; and then solve for PMT = $3,910.88.

Step 3: Determine the difference between the two payments:


The difference is $3,910.88 - $3,487.79 = $423.09.

Put your calculator in END mode, set P/YR = 1.

Step 2: Calculate the FV of her 40’s contributions on her 49th birthday:


N = 9; I/YR = 11; PV = -100000; PMT = -10000; and then solve for FV49 = $397,443.41.

Now, this is the PV of her contributions on her 49th birthday.

Step 3: Determine the FV of her contributions through her 59th birthday:


N = 10; I/YR = 11; PV49 = -397443.41; PMT = -20000; and then solve for FV59 =
$1,462,949.35.

Now, this is the PV of her contributions so far on her 59th birthday.

Step 4: Determine the FV of all her contributions:


N = 6; I = 11; PV59 = -1462949.35; PMT = -25,000; and then solve for FV65 =

76. EAR and FV of annuity Answer: c Diff: T N

First, we must find the appropriate effective rate of interest. Using your calculator enter the following
data as inputs as follows:
NOM% = 6; P/YR = 12; and then solve for EFF% = 6.167781%.

Chapter 6 - Page 87
Since the contributions are being made every 6 months, we need to determine the nominal annual rate
based on semiannual compounding. Enter the following data in your calculator as follows:
EFF% = 6.167781%; P/YR = 2; and then solve for NOM% = 6.0755%.

Now use the periodic rate 6.0755%/2 = 3.037751% to calculate the FV of the annuities due. Now, we
must solve for the value of all contributions as of the end of Year 2. Enter the following data inputs in
your calculator:
N = 4; I = 3.037751; PV = 1000; PMT = 1000; and then solve for FV = $5,313.14.

So, these contributions will be worth $5,313.14 as of the end of Year 2. Now, we must find the value
of this investment after the eighth year. For this calculation, we can use annual periods and the
effective annual rate calculated earlier. Enter the following data as inputs to your calculator:
N = 6; I = 6.167781; PV = -5313.14; PMT = 0; and then solve for FV = $7,608.65  $7,609.
77. FV of annuity due Answer: a Diff: T

First, convert the 9 percent return with quarterly compounding to an effective rate of 9.308332%.
With a financial calculator, NOM% = 9; P/YR = 4; EFF% = 9.308332%. (Don’t forget to change P/YR
= 4 back to P/YR = 1.) Then calculate the FV of all but the final payment. BEGIN MODE (1 P/YR)
N = 9; I/YR = 9.308332; PV = 0; PMT = 1500; and solve for FV = $21,627.49. You must then add
the $1,500 at t = 9 to find the answer, $23,127.49.

78. FV of investment account Answer: b Diff: T

We need to figure out how much money they would have saved if they didn’t pay for the college
costs.
N = 40; I = 10; PV = 0; PMT = -12000; and then solve for FV = $5,311,110.67.

Now figure out how much they would use for college costs. First get the college costs at one point
in time, t = 20, using the cash flow register. CF0 = 58045; CF1 = 62108; CF2 = 66,456  2 = 132912
(two kids in school); CF3 = 71,108  2 = 142216; CF4 = 76086; CF5 = 81411; I = 10; NPV =
$433,718.02.

The value of the college costs at year t = 20 is $433,718.02. What we want is to know how much
this is at t = 40.
N = 20; I = 10; PV = -433718.02; PMT = 0; and then solve for FV = $2,917,837.96.

The amount in the nest egg at t = 40 is the amount saved less the amount spent on college.
$5,311,110.67 - $2,917,837.96 = $2,393,272.71  $2,393,273.

Numerical solution:
Step 1: Find the effective annual rate (EAR) of interest on the bank deposit
EARDaily = (1 + 0.080944/365)365 - 1 = 8.43%.

Step 2: Find the EAR of the investment


$8,000 = $10,000/(1 + i)2.25
2.25
(1 + i) = 1.25
1+i = 1.25(1/2.25)
1+i = 1.10426
i = 0.10426  10.43%

Step 3: Difference = 10.43% - 8.43% = 2.0%.

Financial calculator solution:


Calculate EARDaily using interest rate conversion feature
Inputs: P/YR = 365; NOM% = 8.0944. Output: EFF% = EAR = 8.43%.

Calculate EAR of the equal risk investment


Inputs: N = 2.25; PV = -8000; PMT = 0; FV = 10000.
Output: I = 10.4259  10.43%.
Difference: 10.43% - 8.43% = 2.0%.

Now, determine the value of each of the receipts, remembering that this is an annuity due.
Put the calculator in BEG mode and enter the following input data in the calculator:
N = 10; I = 8.2432; PV = -77508.78; FV = 0; and then solve for PMT = $10,788.78  $10,789.

81. Non-annual compounding Answer: a Diff: T

To compare these alternatives, find the present value of each strategy and select the option with
the highest present value.

Option 1 can be valued as an annuity due.


Enter the following input data in the calculator:
BEGIN mode (to indicate payments will be received at the start of the period) N = 12; I = 12/12 =
1; PMT = -1000; FV = 0; and then solve for PV = $11,367.63.

Option 2 can be valued as a lump sum payment to be received in the future.


Enter the following input data in the calculator:
END mode (to indicate the lump sum will be received at the end of the year) N = 2; I = 12/2 = 6; PMT = 0;
FV = -12750; and then solve for PV = $11,347.45.

Option 3 can be valued as a series of uneven cash flows. The cash flows at the end of each
period are calculated as follows:
CF0 = $0.00; CF1 = $800.00; CF2 = $800.00(1.20) = $960.00; CF3 = $960.00 (1.20) = $1,152.00; CF4
= $1,152.00(1.20) = $1,382.40; CF5 = $1,382.40 (1.20) = $1,658.88; CF6 = $1,658.88(1.20) =
$1,990.66; CF7 = $1,990.66 (1.20) = $2,388.79; CF8 = $2,388.79(1.20) = $2,866.54.

To find the present value of this cash flow stream using your financial calculator enter:
END mode (to indicate the cash flows will occur at the end of each period) 0 CFj; 800 CFj; 960 CFj;
1152 CFj; 1382.40 CFj; 1658.88 CFj; 1990.66 CFj; 2388.79 CFj; 2866.54 CFj (to enter the cash
flows);I/YR = 12/4 = 3; solve for NPV = $11,267.37.

Choose the alternative with the highest present value, and hence select Choice 1 (Answer a).

82. Value of unknown withdrawal Answer: d Diff: T

Step 1: Find out how much Steve and Robert have in their accounts today:
You can get this from analyzing Steve’s account.
End mode: N = 9; I = 6; PV = -5000; PMT = -5000; and then solve for FV =
$65,903.9747.
Alternatively, Begin mode: N = 9; I = 6; PV = 0; PMT = -5000; and then solve for FV =
$60,903.9747.
Then add the $5,000 for the last payment to get a total of $65,903.9747.
This is also the value of Robert’s account today.

Step 2: Find out how much Robert would have had if he had never withdrawn anything:
End mode: N = 9; I = 12; PV = -5000; PMT = -5000; and then solve for FV =
$87,743.6753.
Alternatively, Begin mode: N = 9; I = 12; PV = 0; PMT = -5000; and then solve for FV =
$82,743.6753.
Then add the $5,000 for the last payment to get a total of $87,743.6753.

Step 3: Find the difference in the value of Robert’s account due to the withdrawal made:
However, since he took money out at age 27, he has only $65,903.9747. The
difference between what he has and what he would have had is:
$87,743.6753 - $65,903.9747 = $21,839.7006.

Step 4: Determine the amount of Robert’s withdrawal by compounding the value found in
Step 3:
N = 3; I = 12; PMT = 0; FV = -21839.7006; then solve for PV = $15,545.0675 
$15,545.07.
