SMS Inc. wants to have enough money to purchase a new tractor-trailer in 5 years. If the unit will cost $500,000, how
much should the company set aside each year (starting at the end of year 1 and each year until year 5) if the account
earns a compound interest of 12% per year?
(All the alternatives presented below were calculated using compound interest factor tables including all decimal places)
$283,700
$138,705
$78,705
$61,615
The future worth 5 years from now of a present cost of $105,000 to Hydron, Inc., at an interest rate of 12%
per year, compounded monthly is correctly calculated with the following equation:
F= 105,000(P/F, 12%, 60)
F= 105,000(F/P, 1%, 5)
F= 105,000(P/F, 12%, 5)
F= 105,000(F/P, 1%, 60)
