Problem 1
Case A
Sum to be accumulated=S=$5000
Number of periods=n=3
Interest rate=i=12%
Periodic payment=R=?
We know that sum of ordinary annuity is given by
S=R/i*((1+i)^n-1)
5000=R/12%*((1+12%)^3-1)
5000=R/12%*(0.404928)
5000=3.3744R
R=5000/3.3744=$1481.75
Case B
Sum to be accumulated=S=$100000
Number of periods=n=20
Interest rate=i=7%
Periodic payment=R=?
We know that ...
