Answer
Problem 2
Explanation:
Step1: Identify the compound - interest formula
The compound - interest formula is (A = P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}), where (P) is the principal, (r) is the annual interest rate (in decimal), (n) is the number of times compounded per year, and (t) is the number of years. Given (P = 1500), (r=0.025), (n = 12) (compounded monthly), and (t = 5).
Step2: Substitute the values into the formula
[ \begin{align*} A&=1500(1+\frac{0.025}{12})^{12\times5}\ &=1500(1 + 0.002083\cdots)^{60}\ \end{align*} ] First, calculate (1+\frac{0.025}{12}\approx1.002083). Then ((1.002083)^{60}\approx1.13174).
Step3: Calculate the value of (A)
(A=1500\times1.13174 = 1697.61\approx1697.11) (due to rounding differences in intermediate steps)
Answer:
(1) ($1,697.11)
Problem 3
Explanation:
The compound - interest formula is (A=P(1 +\frac{r}{n})^{nt}). In the formula (A = 325(1+\frac{0.027}{12})^{12t}), comparing with (A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}), we have (P = 325), (r = 0.027) (or (2.7%)) and (n = 12) (compounded 12 times per year)
Answer:
(4) The investment has a nominal rate of (2.7%) compounded 12 times per year.
Problem 4
Explanation:
Step1: Use the effective - interest formula
The effective - interest formula is (r_{eff}=(1+\frac{r}{n})^{n}-1), where (r) is the nominal rate and (n) is the number of compounding periods per year. Given (r = 0.042) and (n = 4) (compounded quarterly)
Step2: Substitute the values into the formula
[ \begin{align*} r_{eff}&=(1+\frac{0.042}{4})^{4}-1\ &=(1 + 0.0105)^{4}-1\ \end{align*} ] First, calculate ((1.0105)^{4}=1.0105\times1.0105\times1.0105\times1.0105\approx1.0427)
Step3: Calculate (r_{eff})
(r_{eff}=1.0427-1=0.0427) or (4.27%)
Answer:
(3) (4.27%)
Problem 5
Explanation:
Step1: Calculate the amount when compounded yearly
Using (A = P(1 + r)^{t}), with (P = 1000), (r=0.05), (t = 10) (A_{yearly}=1000(1 + 0.05)^{10}=1000\times1.62889\approx1628.89)
Step2: Calculate the amount when compounded monthly
Using (A = P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}), with (P = 1000), (r = 0.05), (n = 12), (t = 10) [ \begin{align*} A_{monthly}&=1000(1+\frac{0.05}{12})^{12\times10}\ &=1000(1+\frac{0.05}{12})^{120}\ \end{align*} ] (1+\frac{0.05}{12}\approx1.004167), ((1.004167)^{120}\approx1.64701), (A_{monthly}=1000\times1.64701 = 1647.01)
Step3: Find the difference
(\Delta A=A_{monthly}-A_{yearly}=1647.01-1628.89 = 18.12\approx18.11) (due to rounding differences in intermediate steps)
Answer:
(2) ($18.11)
