Suppose that you just purchased a used carworth $8,000 in today’s dollars. Suppose also thatyou borrowed $8,000 from a local bank at 9% compounded monthly over two years. The bank calculated your monthly payment at $365.48. Assumingthat average general inflation will run at 0.5% permonth over the next two years,(a) Determine the monthly inflation-free interestrate (i′) for the bank.(b) What equal monthly payments (in terms of constant dollars over the next two years) are equivalent to the series of actual payments to be madeover the life of the loan?
A father wants to save in advance for his eight-year-old daughter's collegeexpenses. The daughter will enter the college 10 years from now. An annualamount of $20,000 in today's dollars (constant dollars) will be required to support her college expenses for four years. Assume that these college payments will be made at the beginning of each school year. (The first payment occurs at the end of 10 years.) The future general inflation rate is estimated to be 5% per year, and the interest rate on the savings account will be 8% compounded quarterly (market interest rate) during this period. If the father has decided to save only $500 (actual dollars) each quarter, how much will the daughter have to borrow to cover her freshman expenses?(a) $1,920(b)$2,114(c) $2,210(d)$2,377
