Question
a. You plan to make 5 deposits of $1,000 each, one every 6 months, with the first payment being made in 6 months. You will then make no more deposits. If the bank pays 4% nominal interest, compounded semiannually, how much would be in your account after 3 years?
Round your answer to the nearest cent.
b. One year from today you must make a payment of $5,000. To prepare for this payment, you plan to make 2 equal quarterly deposits, at the end of Quarters 1 and 2, in a bank that pays 4% nominal interest, compounded quarterly. How large must each of the 2 payments be?
Round your answer to the nearest cent.
Explanation / Answer
a) Amount = 1000 * (1.035^2.5 + 1.035^2 + 1.035^1.5)= 3213.99 (First amount being paid at the end of 6 months will compound for 2.5 years and so on) b) Let the amount be A Therefore A * (1.0175^3 +1.0175^2) = 10000 ( First amount will compound for 3 quarters) A = 4787.60
