(a) On April 11, Thomas Ash deposited $2,400 in a passbook savings account at 3.5% interest compounded daily. What is the compound amount (in $) of his account on August 5? $

Five years ago, you saved $5,000 in bank A that pays a compounding interest rate. You also saved $5,000 in bank B that pays a simple interest rate. Both accounts have $8,000 now. How much will you have in the two accounts at the end of year 5?      The account balance in bank A will be $11,000. The account balance in bank B will be $11,000.     The account balance in bank A will be $12,800. The account balance in bank B will be $11,000.     The account balance in bank A will be $11,000. The account balance in bank B will be $12,800.

Which of the following statements are most likely to be false? 1. The effective annual interest rate will always be greater than the quoted (or annual percentage) interest rate. II. All else being the same, the present value of a five-year, $10,000 annuity due will be higher than the present value of a five-year, $10,000 ordinary annuity. III. If you were depositing funds at a bank, and the quoted interest rate was 4% p.a., you would be better off if the bank used semi-annual compounding rather than quarterly compounding. I and II only. I and III only. II and III only. I, II and III.

Consider two local banks. Bank A has 87 loans outstanding, each for $1.0 million, that it expects will be repaid today. Each loan has a 3% probability of default, in which case the bank is not repaid anything. The chance of default is independent across all the loans. Bank B has only one loan of $87 million outstanding, which it also expects will be repaid today. It also has a 3% probability of not being repaid. Calculate the following: a. The expected overall payoff of each bank. b. The standard deviation of the overall payoff of each bank. a. The expected overall payoff of each bank. The expected overall payoff of Bank A is $ million. (Round to the nearest integer.)

A bank features a savings account that has an annual percentage rate of r = 5.1% with interest compounded quarterly. Kimberly deposits $12,000 into the account. The account balance can be modeled by the exponential formula A(t) = a(1+ r kt where A is account value after t years , a is the principal (starting amount), r is the annual percentage rate, k is the number of times each year that the interest is compounded. (A) What values should be used for a, r, and k? k = = D (B) How much money will Kimberly have in the account in 10 years? Amount = $ Round answer to the nearest penny. (C) What is the annual percentage yield (APY) for the savings account? (The APY is the actual or effective annual percentage rate which includes all compounding in the year). АРY Round answer to 3 decimal places.

Optimizing economic agents use the real interest rate when thinking about the economic costs and returns of a loan. Suppose the average rate paid by banks on savings accounts is 0.45% at a time when infialion is around 0 9% For the average saver, the real rate of interest on his or her savings is % (Round your response to two decimal places and use a minus sign if necessay.) Il banks expect that the rate of inflation in the coming year will be 3.9% and they want a real return of 8% on a certain category of loans, then the nominal rate they should charge borrowers on those loans is %. (Round your response to two decimal places) 11 the economy experiences an unexpectedly high rate of inflation, the group that would tend to benefit is O A. creditors (people or institutions that are owed money). O B. deblors (pcople or businesses who owe moncy). OC. both would benefit cgqually O D. neilher bencfits.
