5-1 How long will it take $ 200 to double if it earns the following rates? Compounding occurs once a year.

No interest rate is given, let us assume interest rates as 5%, 10%

Case 1, i=5%
Future Value =FV=$400
Present Value=PV=$200
We know that
FV=PV*(1+i)^n
400=200*(1+5%)^n
400/200=1.05^n
2=1.05^n
Taking ln (natural log) both sides
ln(2)=n*ln(1.05)
n=ln(2)/ln(1.05)=14.21 years

Case 2, i=10%
Future Value =FV=$400
Present Value=PV=$200
We know that
FV=PV*(1+i)^n
400=200*(1+10%)^n
400/200=1.10^n
2=1.10^n
Taking ln (natural log) both sides
ln(2)=n*ln(1.10)
n=ln(2)/ln(1.10)=7.27 years
Similarly we can find period for any rate of interest.

5-2 Find the present values of these ordinary annuities. Discounting occurs once a year.

a. $ 400 per year for 10 years at 10%
Annual payments=R=$400
Interest rate=i=10%
Number of payments=n=10
PV of ordinary annuity=R*((1-1/(1+i)^n)/i)
=400*((1-1/(1+10%)^10)/10%)
=$2457.83

b. $ 200 per year for 5 years at 5%
Annual payments=R=$200
Interest rate=i=5%
Number of payments=n=5
PV of ordinary annuity=R*((1-1/(1+i)^n)/i)
=200*((1-1/(1+5%)^5)/5%)
