Explanation / Answer
Future value = present value * (1+r)^n
r = interest rate per period
n = number of periods
6)
present value * (1+5%)^2 = 1000
=>
present value = 907
choose c)
7)
r = 12%/12 = 1%
n = 12 * 5 = 60
future value = 10000 * (1+1%)^60
= 18170
choose b)
8)
10000 = 16273 * [1-(1+r)^-10]/r
=> rate of return r = 10%
choose c)
9)
x * [1-(1+12%)^-5]/12% = 20000
annual payment x = 5547.85
choose a)
