Use the following information in answering Cases 1 and 2 below:
On January 1, 1998, Dodd Company sold $800,000 of 10% bonds, due January 1, 2008. Interest on these bonds is paid on July 1 and January 1 each year. According to the terms of the bond contract, Dodd must establish a sinking fund for the retirement of the bond principal starting no later than January 1, 2006. Since Dodd was in a tight cash position during the years 1998 through 2003, the first contribution into the fund was made on January 1, 2004.
Case 1: Assume that, starting with the January 1, 2004 contribution, Dodd desires to make a total of four equal annual contributions into this fund. Compute the amount of each of these contributions assuming the interest rate is 8% compounded annually.
Case 2: Assume, instead, that starting with the January 1, 2006 contribution, Dodd desires to make a total of five equal semiannual contributions into this fund. Compute the amount of each of these contributions assuming the annual interest rate is 12%, compounded semiannually.
Case 3: On January 2, 2004, Notson Company loaned $50,000 to Pine Company. The terms of this loan agreement stipulate that Pine is to make 5 equal annual payments to Notson at 10% interest compounded annually. Assume the payments are to begin on December 31, 2004. Compute the amount of each of these payments.
