Explanation / Answer

a. N = 5, PV = 0, PMT = 1000, rate = 2.5%

use FV funciton in Excel

value after 2.5 years = 5256.3285

value after 3 years = 5256.3285 * 1.025 = 5,387.74

b. Value after two quarters = 12,000/1.01252 = 11,421.7728

FV = 11,421.7728, PV = 0, N = 2, PMT = 1.25%

use PMT funciton in Excel

quarterly payments = 5,675.42
