Problem 02.030 - Arithmetic change in cash flows
An arithmetic cash flow gradient series equals $700 in year 1, $800 in year 2, and amounts increasing by $100 per year through year
8. At i= 11% per year, determine the present worth of the cash flow series in year 0.
The present worth of the cash flow series in year 0 is $
Problem 03.041 Shifted Gradients
Nippon Steel's expenses for heating and cooling a large manufacturing facility are expected to increase according to an arithmetic
gradient beginning in year 2. If the cost is $550,000 this year (year O) and will be $550,000 again in year 1, but then it is estimated
to increase by $57,000 each year through year 12, what is the equivalent annual worth in years 1 to 12 of these energy costs at an
interest rate of 14% per year?
The equivalent annual worth is determined to be $
Peter got a 8-year assignment in Argentina. Consequently, he will rent out his three-bedroom house in Hancock to an old friend, and given their friendship,
Peter only requires end of the year payments (thus no monthly pmts) to be deposited in a savings account created solely for this purpose. Rental income
will be 13,709 dollars per year but maintenance/repair costs will be 503 dollars in the first year and thereafter increase by 213 dollars per year. The tenant
will be doing the maintenance/repair operations and therefore, at the end of each year, deposits the annual rent amount net of maintenance costs.
Compute how much money will Peter have in his savings account upon his return (8 years from now) given that the proxy interest rate is 7% per year,
compounded annually. (note: round your answer to the nearest cent, and do not include spaces, currency signs, plus or minus signs, or commas)

- Beth has a no-annual-fee Visa credit card that charges an APR of 12.5% per year. Interest is compounded monthly. If a payment is missed by even 1 day, the rate jumps to an APR of 24.5% for the remainder of the time she keeps the card or until the total debt is paid off. (This is not an uncommon practice for many banks that issue credit cards when you read the fine print.) The current balance is $2000 and there is a minimum payment of $20.83 per month at the 12.5% rate. Beth decided “enough already”; she decided to stop using the card immediately and pay the balance off as soon as her budget allowed. She realizes that if she misses a payment due date, the minimum will increase to $40.83 per month until the total balance is paid at this higher APR. a. Verify the monthly minimums for both nominal (APR) rates for a balance of $2000. b.
