Answer to Problem 21PS

The one year interest rate is 10.50%.

Explanation of Solution

Determine the one year interest rate

OneYearInterestRate=[(1DiscountFactor)1]=[(10.905)1]=[1.1049721]=0.104972or10.50%

Therefore the one year interest rate is 10.50%.

b.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The two year discount factor.

Answer to Problem 21PS

The two year discount factor is 0.8190.

Explanation of Solution

Determine the two year discount factor

TwoYearDiscountFactor=[1(1+DiscountRate)2]=[1(1+10.50%)2]=[11.221025]=0.818984or0.8190

Therefore the two year discount factor is 0.8190.

c.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The two year annuity factor.

c.

Answer to Problem 21PS

The two year annuity factor is 1.7240.

Explanation of Solution

Determine the two year annuity factor

TwoYearAnnuityFactor=[DiscountFactorYear1+DiscountFactorYear2]=[0.905+0.818984]=1.723984or1.7240

Therefore the two year annuity factor is 1.7240.

d.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The three year annuity factor.

Answer to Problem 21PS

The three year annuity factor is 2.4650.

Explanation of Solution

Determine the three year annuity factor

ThreeYearAnnuityFactor=[PVYear3PVActual]=[$24.65$10]=2.4650

Therefore the three year annuity factor is 2.4650.
