PROVIDE THE CASH FLOW DIAGRAM ONLY.
Consider an EOY geometric gradient, which lasts for eight years, whose initial value at EOY one is $5,000 and f = 6% per year thereafter. Find the equivalent uniform gradient amount over the same period if the initial value of the cash flows at the end of year one is $4,000. Complete the following questions to determine the value of the gradient amount, G. The interest rate is 8% per year.
In 1915, Anas allegedly borrowed
7,000$ from a large New York bank on
the condition that he would repay 7%
of the loan every three months, until
a total of 50 payments had been
made. At the time of the 50th
payment, the 7,000$ loan would be
completely repaid. Anas computed
his annual interest rate to be (0.07 x
7,000 x 4) ÷ 7,000 = 28%. What true
effective annual interest rate did Anas
pay? And what went wrong ?
In order to make CDs look more attractive than they really are, some banks advertise that
their rates are higher than their competitors', but the fine print says that the rate is a simple
Interest rate. If a person deposits $7,500 at 3% per year simple interest, what compound
Interest rate would yield the same amount of money in 3 years?
The compound Interest rate that would yield the same amount of money in 3 years is
9.273 %.

- Your sister needs money and comes to you with a deal. She asks you to pay $2,000 at the end the first year, then increasing by $500 every year til the 20th year. Then, for the next 20 years, she will pay you back twice the amount you paid for each of your annual payments, starting the next year right after you pay your last payment. Thus, you receive $4,000 at the end of year 21 and $5,000 at the end of next year and so on. Your sister claims it is beneficial for you to accept this deal since you are getting back twice the amount you let her borrow. Draw the Cash Flow Diagram What is the interest rate that makes you just indifferent between accepting or rejecting her deal?
