1. The present value of a ten year $100 annual annuity discounted at 12% is:
a. $32.19
b. $89.28
c. $565.02
d. $310.58
P=A*((1/r)-((1/(r*((1+r)^n)))
P=present value, A= Annuity= 100 r= rate of interest= 12% n=10
c. $565.02
2. The present value of a single sum of $100 to be received in 10 years and discounted at a annual 12% rate on a semi-annual basis is:
a. $32.19
b. $31.18
c. $100
d. $310.58
P=present value, F= Future value r= rate of interest n=duration
P=F/(1+r)^n
Here r will be divided by half and duration will be multiplied by 2 as there is compounding semiannually
=100/(1+6%)^20
=$31.18 =b is the answer
3. The best way to compare two sums to be received at different times in the future is to compute:
