Hi, I need assistance with the following calculations:

1. Calculate the future value of the following:
Future value= Present value *(1+rate of interest) ^ duration

a) $190,537.19 if invested for six years at a 8% interest rate
=190,537.19*(1+8%) ^6
=$
b) $231,891.22 if invested for four years at a 9% interest rate
=231,891.22*(1+9%) ^4
=$
c)$310,891.12 if invested for nine years at an 5% interest rate
=310,891.12*(1+5%) ^9
=$
d) $420,520.22 if invested for fifteen years with a 1% interest rate
=420,520.22*(1+1%) ^15
=$

2. Calculate the present value of the following:
Present value= Future value / (1+rate of interest) ^ duration
a) $552,126.17 to be received four years from now with a 3% interest rate
=552,126.17/ (1+3%) ^4
=$
b)$125,003.21 to be received three years from now with an 8% interest rate
=125,003.21/ (1+8%) ^3
=$
c)$621,567.35 to received nine years from now with a 14% interest rate
=621,567.35/ (1+14%) ^9
=$
d)$93,000.05 to be received eleven years from now with a 2% interest rate
=930,000.05/ (1+2%) ^11
=$

3. Suppose you are to receive a stream of annual payments (also called an "annuity") of $225,891.12 every year for five years starting at the end of this year. The interest rate is 7%. What is the present value of these five payments?

4. Suppose you are to receive a payment of $337,891.24 at the end of each year for seven years. You are depositing these payments in a bank account that pays 6% interest. Given these seven payments and this interest rate, how much will be in your bank account in seven years? Note: This is the compounded value of annuity.

Dear Student:

1. Future value= Present value *(1+rate of interest) ^ (number of years)

a. Future value of $190,537.19 if invested for six years at a 8% interest rate
=190,537.19*(1+8%) ^6 = 190,537.19 * (1.08)^6 = 190,537.19 * 1.58687432294 = $302,358.57
b. Future value of $231,891.22 if invested for four years at a 9% interest rate
=231,891.22*(1+9%) ^4 =231,891.22 * (1.09)^4 = 231,891.22 * 1.4115811 = $327,333.38
c. $310,891.12 if invested for nine years at an 5% ...
