1. How much money will you have in 5 years if you invest $100 today at a 10% rate of return?
2. consider an investment which promises to pay $100 one year from now, $300 two years from
now, 500 three years from now and $1000 four years from now. How much will be the future
value of the cash flow streams at the end of year 4, given that the interest rate is 10%,?
Ans.

4. What amount will accumulate if we deposit $5,000 at the end of each year for the next 5
years? Assume an interest of 6% compounded annually

If we assume a 10% discount rate, which option should you proceed with?
For both option 1 and option 2, we’ll list out the cash inflow for each year.
While option 1 consists of a one-time payment of $225,000, option 2 consists of four payments
of $50,000.
The formula for discounting each cash flow is the future value (FV) divided by (1 + discount
rate), which is then raised to the power of the period number.
Once completed for each year, the sum of the discounted cash flows equals the present value of
the option, i.e. how much the future cash flows are worth on the present date.
Option 1 = $154,000
Option 2 = $158,000
In our simple example, option 2 is worth more than option 1. But of course, there are far more
considerations in reality that can complicate the decision-making process.

12. Fran Abrams wishes to determine how much money she will have at the end of 5 years if she
chooses annuity A, the ordinary annuity. She will deposit $1,000 annually, at the end of each of
the next 5 years, into a savings account paying 7% annual interest. This situation is depicted on
the following time line.
0 1 2 3 4 5
End of Year
$1,310.80
1,225.04
1,144.90
1,070.00
1,000.00
$5,750.74 Future Value
As the figure shows, at the end of year 5, Fran will have $5,750.74 in her ac-count. Note that
because the deposits are made at the end of the year, the first deposit will earn interest for 4
years, the second for 3 years, and so on. Plugging the relevant values we have
3 (1 + 0.07)5 - 1 4
FV5 = $1,000 * e f = $5,750.74

15. Delia Martin has $10,000 that she can deposit in any of three savings accounts
for a 3-year period. Bank A compounds interest on an annual basis, bank B
compounds interest twice each year, and bank C compounds interest each quarter.
All three banks have a stated annual interest
rate of 4%.
a. What amount would Ms. Martin have at the end of the third year, leaving all
interest
paid on deposit, in each bank?
b. What effective annual rate (EAR) would she earn in each of the banks?
c. On the basis of your findings in parts a and b, which bank should Ms. Martin
deal with? Why?
d. If a fourth bank (bank D), also with a 4% stated interest rate, compounds interest
continuously, how much would Ms. Martin have at the end of the third year?
Does this alternative change your recommendation in part c? Explain why or
why not.
