SOLUTION

Problem 4 (p.196)
  a. We   have a formula :
                              PV = FVn [PVFk,n]
And substitute what’s known,
$856 = $1,122 [PVF7,n]
PVF7,n   = $856/ $ 1,122   =   0.7629
n = 4 years                                          
  b. First, we calculate the correct k. Because compounding is monthly
k = knom / 12 = 12%/12 = 1%
We   have a formula:
                              PV = FVn [PVFk,n]
And substitute what’s known,
$450.00 = $725.50 [PVF1,n]
                              PVF1,n = 0.6203
n = 48 months = 4years    

  c. First, we calculate the correct k. Because compounding is quarterly
k= knom/ 4 = 10% / 4 = 2.5 %
We   have a formula:
                              PV = FVn [PVFk,n]
And substitute what’s known,
$5,000 = $6,724.44 [PVF2.5,n]
                  PVF2.5,n = 0.7436
  n = 12 quarters = 3 years
Problem 7 (p. 196)
  a. A formula of the future value factor for k and n is :
  FVF k, n = (1 + k) n  
                                                (1+k)a+b = (1+k)a (1+k)b
  Thus, we have a new formula:
                            FVFk,a+b = [FVFk,a] [FVFk,b]      

And, substitute what’s known on equation
FVF 3, 85 = [FVF 3, 60] [FVF 3,25]
FVF 3, 85 = 5.8916 x 2.0938 = 12.3359      
Then, substitute in the formula:   FV = PV [FVF3,85] = $ 11.50 x 12.3359 = $141.863   per bond

  b. Using equation (a)to calculate :
                              FVF 7, 85 = [FVF 7, 60] [FVF 7, 25]
FVF 7, 85 = 57.9464 x 5.4274 = 314.49  
Then, substitute in the formula:   FV = PV [FVF7, 85] = $ 11.50 x 314.49 = $ 3,616.63
Per pond
