Tamara Massey received $1,500,000 from an insurance company after her husband's death. She wants to deposit this amount in a savings account that earns interest at a rate of 8% compounded monthly. Then she would like to make 48 equal monthly withdrawals over four years such that, when she makes the last withdrawal, the savings account will have a balance of zero. How much should she withdraw each month?
Suppose that you make a series of annual deposits into a bank account that pays 8% interest. The initial deposit at the end of the first year is $1,200. The deposit amounts decline by $200 in each of the next four years. How much would you have immediately after the fifth deposit?
Mary's credit card situation is out of control because she cannot afford to make her monthly payments. She has three credit cards with the following loan balances and APRS: Card 1, $4,500, 21%; Card 2, $5,700, 25%; and Card 3, $3,200, 18%. Interest
compounds monthly on all loan balances. A credit card loan consolidation company has captured Mary's attention by stating they can save Mary 16% per month on her credit card payments. This company charges 17.5% APR. Is the company's claim correct?
Assume a 10-year repayment period.
