Equations and Descriptions: 5.1 Future Value of an n-period Investment:
Formula: FV = PV X (1 + i)^n
Definition: Calculates the future value of an investment based on a fixed interest rate compounded over a number of periods.
5.2 Future Value with More Frequent Compounding:
Formula: FV = PV X (1 + i/m)^(m*n)
Definition: Adjusts for investments compounded more frequently than annually.
5.3 Continuous Compounding:
Formula: FV = PV X e^(i*n)
Definition: Computes the future value of an investment that is continuously compounded.
5.4 Present Value of an n-period Investment:
Formula: PV = FV / (1 + i)^n
Definition: Finds the present value based on expected future earnings discounted at a specific interest rate.
5.5 Rule of 72:
Formula: TDM = 72 / i
Definition: A quick way to estimate the years required to double the investment at a fixed annual rate of return.
5.6 Future Value with General Growth Rate:
Formula: FV = PV X (1 + g)^n
Definition: Calculates the future value of an investment considering a general growth rate over time.
Amount Invested: $12,000
Interest Rate: 6.25% compounded monthly
Duration: 10 years
Calculation:FV = 12,000 * (1 + 0.0625/12)^(12*10)
Final Amount: $22,383 (Answer: B)
Invested Amount: $5,000
Interest Rate: 6.75%
Duration: 3 years
Simple Interest:SI = Principal * Rate * TimeSI = 5,000 * 0.0675 * 3 = $1,012.50
Future Value with Compound Interest:FV = 5,000 * (1 + 0.0675)^3 ≈ $6,082.38
Interest-on-Interest:Interest-on-Interest = FV - (Principal + Simple Interest)Interest-on-Interest = $6,082.38 - ($5,000 + $1,012.50) ≈ $69.88 (Answer: D)
Target Amount: $25,000
Interest Rate: 6.5%
Duration: 7 years
Present Value Calculation:PV = 25,000 / (1 + 0.065)^7 ≈ $16,088 (Answer: D)
Loan Amount: $6,000
Bank Interest Rate: 7.25% compounded annually.
Firm Payback: $8,130.93 in 4 years.
Calculated Firm Interest Rate:Interest Rate = (Payback / Loan)^(1/n) – 1= (8,130.93 / 6,000)^(1/4) – 1 ≈ 8%.
Cheaper Option: Choose the bank loan (Answer: C).
Initial Investment: $25,000
Future Value: $75,000 after 6 years.
Calculated Rate of Return:Using the formula:FV = PV * (1 + r)^nRearranging gives:r = (FV/PV)^(1/n) - 1r = (75,000 / 25,000)^(1/6) - 1 ≈ 20% (Answer: B).
Current Sale: $325,000
Future Sale in 5 years: $500,000
Calculated Growth Rate:Growth Rate = (Future Sale / Current Sale)^(1/n) - 1= (500,000 / 325,000)^(1/5) - 1 ≈ 9% (Answer: A).
Initial Deposit: $4,500
Target Amount: $10,000
Interest Rate: 8.25% annually.
Calculation Method: Use the future value formula to calculate the number of years: FV = PV * (1 + r)^nRearranging for n gives: n = log(FV / PV) / log(1 + r) n = log(10,000 / 4,500) / log(1 + 0.0825) ≈ 10 years.
6.1 Present Value of an Ordinary Annuity:
Formula: PVA₁ = CF/i * (1 - (1 + i)^-n) 6.2 Future Value of an Ordinary Annuity:
Formula: FVA₁ = CF * [(1 + i)^(n) -1] / i 6.3 Present Value of a Perpetuity:
Formula: PVP = CF/i 6.4 Value of an Annuity Due:
Formula: Annuity due value = Ordinary annuity value X (1 + i) 6.5 Present Value of a Growing Annuity:
Formula: PVA = CF * [((1 + g)^n - (1 + g) * CF)/ (i - g)] 6.6 Present Value of a Growing Perpetuity:
Formula: PVP = CF₁/g 6.7 Effective Annual Interest Rate:
Formula: EAR = (1 + (quoted interest rate / m))^m - 1
