The following two investment options are viewed under an annual effective interest rate of i. • Investment A is a 10-year zero coupon bond which redeems at par-value 250. Investment B is a perpetuity-immediate paying an annual payment starting with 4 and having each successive payment increase by K% from the previous payment. • If the volatility of each investment is 8, then find the value of K. Give your answer as a decimal rounded to two places (i.e. X.XX)....e. if your answer was K% = 2.54%, you would answer 2.54.

An investor has a principal amount of $P. If he desires a payout (return) of 0.1P each year, how many years will it take to deplete an account that earns 8% per year? 0.1P = P(A/P, 8%,N), so N ∼=21 years. A payout duration table can be constructed for select payout percentages and compound interest rates. Complete the following table. (Note: table entries are years.) Summarize your conclusions about the pattern observed in the shown table.
