The future value of a lump sum at the end of five years is $1,000. The nominal interest rate is 10 percent and interest is compounded semiannually. Which of the following statements is most correct?
d. Both statements b and c are correct.
e. All of the statements above are correct.

(d)
The periodic interest rate is 10%/2 = 5 percent.
So the effective annual rate is (1+5%)^2 - 1 > 10%

You can earn 8 percent interest, compounded annually. How much must you deposit today to withdraw $10,000 in 6 years?
a. $5,402.69

Rate = 8%
FV = $10,000
Year = 6
Compute PV = 6301.70
