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.
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.
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.
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.
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%.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

I = 7/12; PV = -1; PMT = 0; FV = 2; and then solve for N = 119.17 months = 9.93 years.
Step 1: Find the number of years it will take for each $150,000 investment to grow to
$1,000,000.
BRUCE: I/YR = 5; PV = -150000; PMT = 0; FV = 1000000; and then solve for N = 38.88.
BRENDA: I/YR = 10; PV = -150000; PMT = 0; FV = 1000000; and then solve for N =
19.90.
Step 2: Calculate the difference in the length of time for the accounts to reach $1 million:
Bruce will be able to retire in 38.88 years, or 38.88 – 19.90 = 19.0 years after Brenda
does.
First, find the monthly interest rate = 0.10/12 = 0.8333%/month. Now, enter in your calculator N =
60; I/YR = 0.8333; PV = -13000; FV = 0; and then solve for PMT = $276.21.
Step 2: Determine the loan balance remaining after the 30th payment:
1 INPUT 30 AMORT
Chapter 6 - Page 59

Step 2: Calculate the remaining balance on the mortgage after 60 monthly payments by
using the calculator’s amortization feature:
1 INPUT 60 AMORT
= displays Int: $63,556.53

Step 2: Determine the amount of interest during the first 3 years of the mortgage by using
the calculator’s amortization feature:
1 INPUT 36 AMORT
= displays Int: $39,097.8616.
Step 1: Make sure the interest rate matches the payment period. The payments are monthly,
so you need to calculate the monthly periodic rate.
Periodic rate = 8%/12 = 0.667%.
There are several ways to do this, but the easiest is with the calculator:
Chapter 6 - Page 61
Step 1: Find the effective rate on the account with monthly compounding:
NOM% = 5; P/YR = 12; and then solve for EFF% = 5.1162%.
Step 2: Translate the effective rate to a nominal rate based on quarterly compounding:
EFF% = 5.1162; P/YR = 4; and then solve for NOM% = 5.0209% 5.02%.
Use your financial calculator to determine each security’s present value, and then choose the one
with the largest present value.
The preferred stock issue, statement c, has the largest present value among these choices.
First, find the effective annual rate for a nominal rate of 12% with quarterly compounding: P/YR =
4; NOM% = 12; and EFF% = 12.55%. In order to discount the cash flows properly, it is necessary to
find the nominal rate with semiannual compounding that corresponds to the effective rate
Chapter 6 - Page 62
calculated above. Convert the effective rate to a semiannual nominal rate as P/YR = 2; EFF% =
12.55; and NOM% = 12.18%. Finally, find the PV as N = 2 3 = 6; I = 12.18/2 = 6.09; PMT = 500; FV
= 0; and then solve for PV = -$2,451.73.

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.
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).
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.
Chapter 6 - Page 63
There are a few ways to do this. One way is shown below.
To get the value at t = 5 of the first 5 payments:
BEGIN mode, N = 5; I = 11; PV = 0; PMT = -3000; and then solve for FV = $20,738.58.
Step 2: Now add on to the FV (calculated in Step 1) the last contribution that occurs at t = 45:
$1,435,809.67 + $2,000.00 = $1,437,809.67.

Step 2: Calculate the ending balance 20 years after the initial deposit of $100 was made:
Inputs: N = 39; I = 3; PV = -3.00; PMT = 0. Output: FV = $9.50.
Chapter 6 - Page 64
Step 1: Calculate the FV at t = 3 of the first deposit.
Enter N = 36; I/YR = 12/12 = 1; PV = -10000; PMT = 0; and then solve for FV =
$14,308.
Step 4: The sum of the future values gives you the answer, $49,542.
Solve for FV as N = 132; I = 4/365 = 0.0110; PV = -2000; PMT = 0; and then solve for FV =
$2,029.14.
Step 1: Find the effective rate by entering the following data in your calculator:
I = 6; P/Yr = 365; and then solve for EFF = 6.1831%.
Step 2: Switch back to P/Yr = 1 and find the future value of the deposit by entering the
following data in your calculator:
N = 5; I = 6.1831; PV = -1000; PMT = 0; and then solve for FV = $1,349.82.
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.
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.
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.
Chapter 6 - Page 66
PMT0 = $5000, PMT1 = $5500, PMT2 = $6050, PMT3 = $6655, PMT4 = $7320.50. Then, find the
future value of each payment at t = 5: For PMT0, N = 5;
I = 14; PV = -5000; PMT = 0; thus, FV = $9,627.0729. Similarly, for PMT1, FV = $9,289.2809, for PMT2,
FV = $8,963.3412, for PMT3, FV = $8,648.8380, and for PMT4, FV = $8,345.3700. Finally, summing
the future values of the respective payments will give the balance in the account at t = 5 or
$44,873.90.

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

However, this is a nominal rate. To find the effective rate, enter the following:
NOM% = 8.6892; P/YR = 12; and then solve for EFF% = 9.0438%.
This is a question that requires you to be able to use your calculator to find effective and nominal
rates.
Chapter 6 - Page 72
Change to 4 P/YR; NOM% = 7.5; and then solve for EFF% = 7.7136%.
This is the effective rate of the Gilhart investment. Remember, that the effective rates on the two
securities are equal. So, we can solve for the nominal annual return of the Olsen security.
Change to 12 P/YR; EFF% = 7.7136; and then solve for NOM% = 7.4536% 7.45%.

Step 1: Because the interest is compounded monthly, but payments are made annually, you
need to find the interest rate for the payment period (the effective rate for one year).
Enter the following input data in your calculator:
NOM% = 8; P/YR = 12; EFF% = 8.30%.
Now use this rate as the interest rate. Remember to switch back P/YR = 1.

Step 2: Find the FV of the annuity:
N = 5; I = 8.30; PV = 0; PMT = -5000; and then solve for FV = $29,508.98.
Enter CFs:
CF0 = 0; CF1 = 1.2; CF2 = 1.6; CF3 = 2.0; CF4 = 2.4; CF5 = 2.8.
I = 10; NPV = $7.2937 million.
$1 + $7.2937 = $8.2937 million.
Step 1: Work out how much Karen will have saved by age 65:
Enter the following inputs in the calculator:
N = 41; I = 10; PV = 0; PMT = 5000; and then solve for FV = $2,439,259.
Step 2: Figure the payments Kathy will need to make to have the same amount saved as
Karen:
Enter the following inputs in the calculator:
N = 36; I = 10; PV = 0; FV = 2439259; and then solve for PMT = $8,154.60.
Step 1: Figure out how much their house will cost when they buy it in
5 years:
Enter the following input data in the calculator:
N = 5; I = 3; PV = -120000; PMT = 0; and then solve for FV = $139,112.89.
Step 2: Determine the maximum mortgage they can get, given that the nominal interest rate
will be 7 percent, it is a 360-month mortgage, and the payments will be $500:
N = 360; I = 7/12 = 0.5833; PMT = -500; FV = 0; and then solve for PV = $75,153.78.
This is the PV of the mortgage (that is, the total amount they can borrow).
This is the amount they will have to save to buy their house.
Chapter 6 - Page 74
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 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 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)

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:

Step 1: Compound cash flows from birthdays 25, 26, 27, and 28 to 29th birthday:
$25,000(1.12)4 + $2,000(1.12)3 + $3,000(1.12)2 + 4,000(1.12) + $5,000(1.12)0
= $39,337.98 + $2,809.86 + $3,763.20 + $4,480.00 + $5,000.00
= $55,391.04.
Step 3: Subtract the present value of the withdrawal from the compounded values of the
deposits to obtain the net amount on hand at birthday 29 (after the $20,000 withdrawal is
considered):
$55,391.04 - $10,132.62 = $45,258.42.

Step 2: Compute the amount accumulated by age 40. Remember to change P/YR from 12 to
1. BEGIN mode. Then, enter N = 15; I = 9.3807; PV = 0; PMT = 2000; and then solve
for FV = $66,184.35.
Step 3: John needs $3 million in 25 years. Find the PV of this amount today. Remember to
change your calculator back from BEGIN to END mode. Enter N = 25; I = 12; FV =
3000000; PMT = 0; and then solve for PV = $176,469.92.
Step 4: Find the shortfall today, the difference between the present value of what he needs in 25
years and the present value of what he’s accumulated today. $176,469.92 - $66,184.35 =
$110,285.57.
Step 5: Find the annuity needed to cover this shortfall. Since the contributions begin today this is
an annuity due, so the calculator must be set up in BEGIN mode. (Remember to change
your calculator back from BEGIN to END mode after working this problem.) BEGIN mode.
Then, enter N = 26; I = 12; PV = -110285.57; FV = 0; and then solve for PMT = $12,471.31

Step 4: Calculate the PV of the net amount needed to fund college costs:
$69,657.98 - $17,794.51 = $51,863.47.
First, what will be the present value of the college costs plus the $50,000 nest egg as of
September 1, 2017?
The first tuition payment, CF0, will equal $10,000 (1.06)15 = $23,965.58. Each tuition payment
will increase by 6%, hence CF1 = $25,403.52; CF2 = $26,927.73; CF3 = $28,543.39; and CF4 =
$50,000 (the nest egg); I = 8. The present value at September 1, 2017, at 8%, is $129,983.70.
Chapter 6 - Page 82
N = 15; I = 8; PV = 10000; FV = -129983.70; and then solve for PMT = $3,618.95.

Using the BEGIN mode we could arrive at the same required annuity payment in a different way, if
we assume that the payments occur at the start of the year. But, we also have to move the FV

Bob: He starts investing at the end of this year, so use the END mode of the

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.

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.
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.

= $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.
Step 1: Calculate the NPV of purchasing the car by entering the following data in your financial
calculator:
CF0 = -17000; CF1-47 = 0; CF48 = 7000; I = 6/12 = 0.5; and then solve for NPV = -
$11,490.31.
Step 2: Now, use the NPV calculated in Step 1 to determine the breakeven lease payment that
will cause the two NPVs to be equal. Enter the following data in your financial
calculator:
N = 48; I = 0.5; PV = -11490.31; FV = 0; and then solve for PMT = $269.85.
Just enter the following data into your calculator and solve for the monthly mortgage payment.
N = 360; I = 7/12 = 0.583333; PV = -115000; FV = 0; and then solve for PMT = $765.0979 $765.10.

With the data still input into your calculator, using an HP-10B press
1 INPUT 60 AMORT
= displays Interest: $39,157.2003
= displays Principal: $6,748.6737
= displays Balance: $108,251.3263
You must solve this time value of money problem for N (number of years) by entering the
following data in your calculator:
I = 10; PV = -2000; PMT = -1000; FV = 1000000; and then solve for N = 46.51.
Because there is a fraction of a year and the problem asks for whole years, we must round up to the
next year. Hence, the answer is 47 years.
Now, the time value of money problem has been modified to solve for I. Enter the following data
in your calculator:
N = 39; PV = -2000; PMT = -1000; FV = 1000000; and then solve for I = 12.57%.
Use your calculator, after entering the data to determine the mortgage payment, as follows:
1 INPUT 36 AMORT
= Interest: $21,280.8867
= Principal: $3,155.4885
= Balance: $96,844.5115.
$ 3, 155 . 49 $ 3, 155 . 49
So, thepercentagethat goes toprincipal= = = 12.91%.

Chapter 6 - Page 93
N = 360; I = 8/12 = 0.6667; PV = 75000; FV = 0; and then solve for PMT = $550.3234.
Use the calculator’s amortization functions and the PMT information from the previous question.
Enter the following data as inputs:
1 INPUT 24 AMORT
= Interest: $2,871.49
= Principal: $6,608.75
