1. You will require $700 in 5 years. If you earn 5 percent interest on your funds, how much will you need to invest today to reach your goal?
a. $575.34
b. $548.47
c. $545.44
d. $573.35
We will use present value formulae:
P=present value, F= Future value r= rate of interest n=duration
P=F/(1+r)^n
P= 700/(1+5%)^5
=$548.47
2. You deposit $1,000 in your bank account. If the bank pays 4 percent compounded interest, how much will you accumulate in your account after 10 years?
a. $1,400
b. $1,500
c. $1,480
d. $1,343
Here we will use future value formulae:
P=present value, F= Future value r= rate of interest n=duration
F=P*(1+r)^n
F=1000*(1+4%)^10
=$1480
The answer is c.
3. A General Motors bond carries a coupon rate of 8 percent, has 9 years until maturity, and sells at a yield to maturity of 7 percent. At what price does the bond sell for?
a. $1,065
b. $1,108
c. $1,080
d. $1,040
Price of Bond= Present Value of Inflows=$ 1065
Note:
Price of Bond = Present value of annual coupons Interest received + Present value of Principal repayment
PV of coupons= $521
Here we have to find out the present value of annuity
P=A*((1/r)-((1/(r*((1+r)^n)))
P=present value, A= Annuity r= rate of interest n=duration
A=80, r =7% n=9
PV of Principal Repayment=$544
P=present value, F= Future value r= rate of interest n=duration
P=F/(1+r)^n
Hence option a is the answer .
