Suppose that the demand for loanable funds for car loans in the Milwaukee area is $12 million per month at an interest rate of 10 percent per year, $13 million at an interest rate of 9 percent per year, $14 million at an interest rate of 8 percent per year, and so on. If the supply of loanable funds is fixed at $18 million, what will be the equilibrium interest rate?

Suppose that the interest rate at which Joanne can borrow and lend is 10 percent per year, but she can earn $22,000 with a high school degree. Her tuition and books at college cost $6,000 and her living expenses are $15,000 per year. Savings are deposited at the end of the year they are earned and receive (compound) interest at the end of each subsequent year. Similarly, the loans are taken out at the end of the year in which they are needed, and interest does not accrue until the end of the subsequent year. Now that the interest rate has risen, should Joanne go to college or go to work?

5. Suppose after you graduate from Algoma University, you find a job that pays you $75,000 a year. Further suppose that you take out a home equity loan of $360,000 for 30 years at an annual interest rate of 3.5 percent, with payments to be made monthly. What will your monthly payments be? If the interest rate increases from 3.5 percent to 5.0 percent, how much will your monthly payments increase? Instead of 30 years, you decide to pay your loan in 25 years, what will your monthly payments be if the interest rate remains at 3.5 percent or increases to 5.0 percent. Develop a chart comparing these monthly payments. Show your work.

Geometric gradient. C.1.) A graduating class of civil engineers decides they will present the engineering college with a gift of $100,000 at their twenty-fifth reunion. There are 50 in the class and they can invest at 8 percent. They plan to start out giving a small amount at the end of the first year and in- crease their gifts to the class fund by 10 percent each year. Find the amount each graduate would donate at the end of the first year in order to reach their class goal of $100,000 at the end of 25 years. (Ans. C= $10.03)
