The value V(t) of an initial investment Vo after t years is given by nt V = Vo (1 + )" . n (a) For fixed Vo,r, and t, the limit lim V is indeterminate. What type of indeterminate form is it? n→∞ (b) Continuously compounded interest is obtained by compounding more and more frequently. Find lim V.
- j. Find the PV and the FV of an investment that makes the following end-of-year payments. The interest rate is 8%. Year 1 $100, Year 2 $200, Year 3 $400 Year Payment 1 100 2 200 3 400 Rate 8% To find the PV, use the NPV function: Pv= $581.59 Year Payment x (1+ I)^(N- t) = FV 1 100 2 200 3 400Prove that it is feasible using 1. ANNUAL WORTH METHOD 2. PAYBACK METHOD Rate of interest = 10%If Po is the initial price of the security, P₁ is the price after you hold it for a year, and X represents a direct payment, an asset's rate of return is equal to: rate of return = (P₁ - Po) rate of return = (P₁ - Po) + X rate of return = (P₁-Po) / Po + XPo rate of return = (P₁ - Po)/Po + X
