Solution:
1.16 At an interest rate of 8% per year, $10,000 today is equivalent to how much
(a) 1 year from now and (b) 1 year ago?
a)Present Value=PV=-10000 (-ve sign indicates cash outflow)
Rate=8%
Periodic Payment=PMT=0
No. of Periods=Nper= 1
Future Value=FV=?
Use FV function in MS Excel to get the value
FV= $10,800.00
Alternate Method: Use of formula
FV=PV*(1+rate)^periods
FV= 10800
b) Present Value=PV=?
Rate=8%
Periodic Payment=PMT=0
No. of Periods=Nper= 1
Future Value=FV=10000
Use PV function in MS Excel to get the value
PV= $9,259.26
Alternate Method: Use of formula
PV=FV/(1+rate)^periods
PV=9259.259259 dollars
1.20 Certain certificates of deposits accumulate interest at 10% per year simple interest.
if a company invests $240,000 now in these certificates for the purchase of a new machine
3 years from now, how much will the company have at the end of the 3 year period?
Solution:
Present Value=PV=-240000 (-ve sign indicates cash outflow)
Rate=10%
Periodic Payment=PMT=0
No. of Periods=Nper= 3
Future Value=FV=?
Use FV function in MS Excel to get the value
FV= $319,440.00
(Assume annual compounding)
Alternate Method: Use of formula
FV=PV*(1+rate)^periods
FV= 319440 dollars
