1. What is the future value of $1,200, placed in a saving account for four years if the account pays 0.08, compounded quarterly? Answer to two decimal places

2. f you were to borrow $9,800 over five years at 0.11 compounded monthly, what would be your monthly payment?

4. A stock has an expected return of 0.12 and a variance of 0.20. what is its coefficient of variation?

5. Use the following information to calculate your company's expected return.

State Probability Return Boom 20% 0.14 Normal 60% 0.10 Recession 20% -0.16

Explanation / Answer

1)

FV = 1200 * (1 + 0.08/4)^16 = 1647.34


2)


x * [1-(1+0.11/12)^-60]/0.11/12 = 9800

x = 213.08


3)

PV = 500 * [1-(1+0.08/4)^-20]/0.08/4

= 8175.72


4)

coefficient of variation = sqrt(0.2)/0.12 = 3.73

5)

expected return = 0.2 *0.14 + 0.6 *0.1 + 0.2 * -0.16

=0.056 or 5.60%
